Microwave Pretreatments of Switchgrass Leaf and Stem Fractions to Increase Methane Production

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of microwave pretreatments on methane production from two switchgrass tissues (leaf vs. stem). The methane production from the leaf fraction was significantly affected by the microwave final temperature, while production from the stem fr...
