Thermophilic Solid-State Anaerobic Digestion of Corn Straw, Cattle Manure, and Vegetable Waste: Effect of Temperature, Total Solid Content, and C/N Ratio

Table 1

Fundamental characteristics of corn straw, cattle manure, and vegetable waste.

Type	C (%)	N (%)	C/N	TS (%)	VS (%)	pH
Corn straw	43.36	1.26	34.49	88.16	87.31	6.69
Cattle manure	37.34	2.55	14.67	83.28	78.83	8.56
Vegetable waste	34.37	4.68	7.34	3.42	89.14	7.46

Total carbon and nitrogen (dry basis) were determined by an elemental CHN analyser (Euro EA3000, Euro Vector, Italy).
