Production and characterization of biogas obtained from biomass of aquatic plants

Abstract

The present work describes an experimental investigation concerning the production and characterization of biogas, obtained from biomass of Eichhornia crassipes and biomass of aquatic plants mixture (Eichhornia crassipes; Eichhornia azurea; Pistia stratiotes and Salvinia). The biogas was obtained in anaerobic biodigestion process. The biogas obtained has considerable tenors of methane, in way to make possible its use.
