Abstract
In the present study the analysis of organic waste such as Cow dung, kitchen waste and analysis of lignocellulosic biomasses (rice husk and rice straw) is done by Combustion analysis and by Chemical analysis. In combustion analysis, % moisture contents, % total solids contents, % volatile matter content, %fixed carbon content, % ash content are determined by using ASTM methods of proximate [3, 4, 5 and 6] analysis . The various elements present in organic waste (Cow dung & Kitchen waste) and in lignocellulosic biomass (Rice husk & Rice straw) such as Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Sulphur are determined by Chemical analysis. Chemical analysis is conducted by [7] EDXAusing Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), LEO 1430VP, [Zeiss, Germany.] Chemical oxygen demand of fresh slurry of feed [8] materials is determined using standard procedure according to IS: 3025 (Part 58): 2006. Similarly calorific value of organic wastes (cow dung & Kitchen waste) and lignocellulosic biomasses (Rice husk & Rice straw) is also calculated to check their potentiality towards biogas generation
