Abstract

In this research work, an effort was done to improve the liquefaction potential of green marine macroalgae (GMM) through surfactant induced microwave pretreatment (SMP) in an energy efficient aspect. By coupling the surfactant (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate – SDBS) with microwave, a greater liquefaction of 19.4% was obtained. A microwave input power of 450 W, time of 15 min and the SDBS dosage of 0.04 g/g TS were regarded as optimum conditions for enhanced liquefaction of GMM. Results of anaerobic fermentation indicates that the volatile fatty acids (VFA) concentration was almost two times (730 mg/L) higher in SMP than microwave pretreatment (MP) (345 mg/L). The exponential model outcomes of biochemical methane potential assay (BMP) showed higher biomethane generation for SMP (0.205 g COD/g COD) than MP (0.12 g COD/g COD). Therefore, SDBS coupled microwave liquefaction makes the pretreatment more energetic.
