Abstract

<p> In this study, we investigated the effects of the electric pretreatment of garbage on biogas (methane) production. Both the garbage atomization, and garbage solubilization were enhanced by pretreatment with 30 V of direct electric current. Moreover, the number of contaminants attached to the surface of garbage components was decreased by electric pretreatment. Furthermore, garbage pretreatment with direct electric current enhances biogas (methane) fermentation.</p>
