Enzymatic hydrolysis of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste for sugar recovery

This study focused on enzymatic hydrolysis (EH) of the complex and heterogeneous organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) with the aim of sugar recovery. Various factors, including OFMSW composition and pretreatment techniques, were examined for their impact on EH. It was found that three-day anaerobic digestion results in the depolymerization of sugar fibers and…
