ABSTRACT
This study assessed the methane production from food waste (FW) with dominant components of Meat (MFW), Fruit &Veg (VFW), Grain (GFW), Dairy (DFW), and the mixed feed of these components (MixFW). The high protein and lipid content FW (HPLFW) of MFW, DFW, and MixFW showed the methane yields of 337.0 ± 3.0, 307.4 ± 0.8, and 297.1 ± 1.2 ml-CH4/gCOD, respectively, while those for the high carbohydrate content FW (HCFW) of VFW and GFW were 238.3 ± 1.2 and 171.2 ± 0.3 ml-CH4/gCOD, respectively. A modified two-component kinetic (MTK) model was demonstrated to be the best to describe the methane production kinetics of both HPLFW and HCFW types of feeds. The element balance analysis revealed the element formula of the FW feeds and the methane-conversion organic content. The results obtained from this study showed that the high lipid and animal protein content increased the methane yield and biogas methane composition.
