  • Abstract:
  • This study reviews the utilization of agricultural wastes, specifically peanut shells and sugarcane bagasse, for biogas production and heavy metal removal. The process involves feeding 30 kg each of powdered peanut shells and sugarcane bagasse, along with equal volumes of water and cow dung, into an 8 m³ anaerobic digester. The fermentation process, facilitated by bacteria, produces 0.57 m³ of biogas daily. Initial zinc concentrations of 7.056 ppm in peanut shells and 13.824 ppm in sugarcane bagasse were effectively reduced to 0.05 ppm and 0.1 ppm, respectively, rendering the treated liquid environmentally safe and suitable for use as fertilizer. Further purification of the biogas removes carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, yielding methane-rich gas comparable to natural gas. The study highlights the simplicity and efficiency of this biogas production system, which is applicable for domestic, commercial, and industrial purposes, including electricity generation, heating, and cooking. The combined process also demonstrates significant advantages over traditional methods, with improved biodegradability, efficient heavy metal removal, and a notable reduction in sludge toxicity, positioning it as an effective alternative for treating agricultural and industrial wastes.
