Cover Story: The need for alternative energy sources is constantly growing, while the focus has shifted to biomass valorization. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal pH and hydraulic retention time (HRT) for treating, through anaerobic digestion, a sorghum biomass and cow manure mixture. Both batch and CSTR systems are run for the investigation of the effect of pH on H2 and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) maximization as well as for the effect of HRT on H2 and CH4 production, respectively. The batch tests exhibited that pH values of 5 and 6 favored H2 and VFAs, respectively, while the two-stage CSTR system showed that the most efficient HRTs were 5 d (acidogenesis) and 25 d (methanogenesis). Reduced HRTs led to inhibition or overload, as indicated by the biogas productivity decline. View this paper
