Fig. 2-2. Chemical compositions of biogas residue fibre

According to research results (Gao Zhenghua, 2008; Chen Hongzhang, 2008), the cellulose, hemi-cellulose, lignin of straw, wheat and corn stalks compared with these of biogas residue fibre were shown in table 2-4.

Table 2-4. Chemical composition of biomass

The comparative analysis results showed that, cellulose quality percentage of biogas residue fibre after anaerobic fermentation was 5% higher than straw, wheat stalk, corn stalk; while hemi-cellulose quality percentage was 5%lower than straw, wheat stalk, corn stalk; lignin quality percentage did not change. The result showed that anaerobic fermentation to lignin content was not influence, hemi-cellulose relatively reduced, cellulose relatively increased, it is positive to the resources utilization of biogas residue.
