Variation characteristics of gas production, gas composition, VFA content and activity of coenzyme 1:42o in the simulated process were analyzed to discuss the influence of different substrates on lignite biogas generation. The results show that 0.1% methanol and 5 mg/L yeast extract solutions increase VFA contents in the biogas generation system (p 〈 0.05) and inhibit coenzyme F420 and methanogen activities significantly, so they decrease both gas amounts (p 〈 0.05) and CH4 contents (p 〈 0.05). 0.2 mol/L sodium acetate solution activates coenzyme F42o and methanogen activities and improves the efficiency of enzymatic reaction, so the gas quantity (p 〈 0.05) and the CH4 content (p 〈 0.01) increase significantly. Therefore, sodium acetate can be one kind of good exogenous substance for the generation of lignite biogenic gas.展开更多
