X-ray spectroscopy as a method for evaluation of quality of raw material in biogas production
Original language description
Composition and quality of maize silage used as a raw material in biogas plants can influence production of biogas in positive or negative way. Decrease in biogas production can be caused for example by the presence of heavy metals as contaminants. Decreased biogas production has a negative effect on economic of biogas plant. Therefore, known elemental composition of input materials should be important for all biogas plant operators. This study is part of long-term research which is focused on finding easy, non-destructive and time-saving screening analysis of elemental composition of maize silage and other vegetal input material for biogas plants. Our samples of maize silage were obtained from 23 biogas plants in the Czech Republic. Samples were dried, ground and incinerated. After preparation, samples were measured by XRF spectrometer. A universal standardless method for a biological matrix was used for comparison. The presented step of long-term research, adds a correction factors, confirms the reduction of balance compounds after combustion and shows the presence of commonly occurring elements and no significant amount of heavy metals in analysed materials.
