Effect of Alkaline Pretreatment on the Characteristics of Barley Straw and Modeling of Methane Production via Codigestion of Pretreated Straw with Sewage Sludge

Straw pretreatment enhances the cellulose accessibility and increases the methane yield from anaerobic digestion. This study investigated the effects of alkali pretreatments with different chemical agents (NaOH, KOH, and Na2CO3) on the physicochemical and thermal characteristics of barley straw, as...
