Abstract
⺠Hydrothermal pre-treatment at 100 °C is an option for improving the AD (anaerobic digestion) of SuOC (sunflower oil cake). ⺠T > 100 °C worsen the chemical composition of pre-treated SuOC, decreasing the CH4 yield. ⺠The kinetic constants of the AD process of the pre-treated solid fraction are related to the lignin concentration. ⺠Lignin content increases with pre-treatment temperature, while the kinetic constant decreases.
