| Abstract | The introduction of absorbent hygiene products (AHPs) has helped improve the quality of life for people, but AHPs also cause environmental problems; diaper manufacturing, distribution, use, and waste management produce 2.7 Mt of greenhouse gases (GHG) per year. This study measures the biochemical methane potential (BMP) of cellulose recycled from AHPs and aims to evaluate the impact of pre-treatments applied to AHP-derived cellulose on biogas production. The cellulose from AHPs has been divided into four categories with different pre-treatment or no pre-treatment: new cellulose (UC), treated post-consumer cellulose (TC), treated unused cellulose (TU), and cellulose soaked in NaOH, using microcrystalline cellulose (MC) as a benchmark. The measure of biogas production shows that TC resulted in the highest biogas production yield (426.9 mL/g volatile solid (VS)), while cellulose treated with NaOH resulted in the highest methane production yield (309.7 mL/g VS). The results of TC were mostly in line with microcrystalline cellulose. |
