The continuous dry codigestion of corn straw (CS) and cow manure (CM) was studied in horizontal stainless steel pushflow reactors. The highest volumetric CH 4 production of L/(L·d) was obtained at the condition of total solid content (TS) = 25% with CM:CS = 1:2 (basis of TS). With the increase of TS content, the shear stress increased, which may be due to that the higher TS caused ...
