Lignocellulosic materials (LM) are abundant bioenergy resources for renewable energy development. Pretreatment using organic acids including acetic acid (HAc) and butyric acid (HBu) was applied to reduce the recalcitrance of LM in methane production by two-phase anaerobic digestion (AD). The structural and compositional changes of solids and aqueous phase were analyzed. It showed that pretreatment with 2 g/L HAc/HBu at 120 °C was optimum, under which the net volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production could reach the maximum concentration of 11.5 g/L. The yield of VFAs decreased with the concentration increasing to > 2 g/L due to the feedback inhibition on the microbial metabolism. The species of organic acids also influenced the metabolic pathway of VFAs. The acidogenic metabolites can be transformed in up-flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) with organic loading rate (OLR) up to 12 g COD/Ld (COD, chemical oxygen demand). The hydrothermal-organic acid pretreatment (HTOAP) could provide important information for subsequent application.
