Abstract
Batch digester with coffee pulp/cow dung produced high amounts of methane for 8Â months. The FTIR gas spectroscopy analysis revealed the presence of over 70 chemical compounds in biogas generated after 4Â months of coffee pulp and cow dung mixture co-digestion, several being hazardous to environment and human and animal health (e.g. isocyanic acid, bromomethane). Biogas produced was burned in a laboratory combustor. The FTIR gas spectroscopy analysis showed that combustion emissions contained: CH4, C3H8, CO, SO2, HI, and probably Br2 which are strongly harmful to human and animal health.
