碱-组合工艺预处理剩余污泥研究进展

城市污泥在进行厌氧发酵处理时,所需时间长、SS降解率低、产气量也低,难以有效达到污泥减量化的目的(VS去除率30％左右).污泥的厌氧发酵包括水解、酸化、产乙酸、产甲烷的过程.研究发现在污泥进行厌氧发酵过程中固态有机物的水解、酸化是限速步骤,因此为了促进污泥的水解、酸化,使更多的固体有机物转化为水溶性的有机物,进而提高厌氧发酵的效率实现污泥的减量化、无害化和资源化利用,对污泥预处理是必须的.该文着重介绍了NaOH及其组合工艺对污泥预处理的影响.     

多级逆流工艺促进城市污泥厌氧发酵生产挥发性脂肪酸

采用一种新型的厌氧发酵工艺——多级逆流发酵工艺对城市污泥进行厌氧发酵, 实现高效产挥发性脂肪酸的目的。结果表明, 实验条件下应用多级逆流发酵工艺, 挥发性脂肪酸浓度与产率分别达到(10.5±0.5) g/L和0.20 gVFAs/ gVS, 与普通厌氧发酵工艺相比, 分别提高了31%和54%。此外, 在多级逆流工艺中, 底物有机质去除率可达50%, 较普通厌氧发酵提高了37%。进一步分析多级逆流工艺产酸的机制, 发现产酸效率的提高在于降低了发酵产物对厌氧产酸细菌的抑制效应, 并且工艺的VFAs产率以及有机质去除率分别取决于第一级和第三级厌氧发酵过程。因此, 城市污泥采用多级逆流工艺厌氧发酵不仅能够有效促进挥发性脂肪酸的生成, 而且能够较大程度上提高污泥中有机质的去除率。

Utilization of volatile fatty acids from the anaerobic digestion liquor of sewage sludge for 5-aminolevulinic acid production by photosynthetic bacteria

Using volatile fatty acids (VFA) from the anaerobic digestion liquor of sewage sludge, up to 9.2 mm 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) could be produced by Rhodobacter sphaeroides under anaerobic-light (5 kLux) conditions with repeated addition of levulinic acid (LA) and glycine and using a large inoculum (approx. 2 g/l of cells, initially from glutamate/malate medium). As the VFA medium also contained organic nitrogen sources such as glutamic acid, the cells were later grown up to about 2 g/l in the VFA medium instead of the glutamate/malate medium. ALA production was then again promoted by adding LA and glycine. Using this improved method, up to 9.3 mm ALA was produced by feeding propionate and acetate together with LA and glycine, indicating that VFA medium formed from sewage sludge could be useful for ALA production.     

Isolation of Penicillium corylophium Dierckx from acid mine water and its optimal growth on hydrocarbons at acid pH

Penicillium corylophilum Dierckx was isolated from sludge collected at the interface of an aqueous, copper-bearing leachate and an organic, kerosene based, ion exchange solvent. The organism assimilated kerosene and various straight chain and cyclic hydrocarbons including dodecane, hexadecane, octadecane, toluene, benzene, and cyclohexane. Assimilation of kerosene and hexadecane was optimal at pH 2 and was stimulated by yeast extract.     

Strategies for the development of a side stream process for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production from sugar cane molasses

A three-stage process was developed to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from sugar cane molasses. The process includes (1) molasses acidogenic fermentation, (2) selection of PHA-accumulating cultures, (3) PHA batch accumulation using the enriched sludge and fermented molasses. In the fermentation step, the effect of pH (5–7) on the organic acids profile and productivity was evaluated. At higher pH, acetic and propionic acids were the main products, while lower pH favoured the production of butyric and valeric acids. PHA accumulation using fermented molasses was evaluated with two cultures selected either with acetate or fermented molasses. The effect of organic acids distribution on polymer composition and yield was evaluated with the acetate selected culture. Storage yields varied from 0.37 to 0.50 Cmmol HA/Cmmol VFA. A direct relationship between the type of organic acids used and the polymers composition was observed. Low ammonia concentration (0.1 Nmmol/l) in the fermented molasses stimulated PHA storage (0.62 Cmmol HA/Cmmol VFA). In addition, strategies of reactor operation to select a PHA-accumulating culture on fermented molasses were developed. The combination of low organic loading with high ammonia concentration selected a culture with a stable storage capacity and with a storage yield (0.59 Cmmol HA/Cmmol VFA) similar to that of the acetate-selected culture.     

Anaerobic acidogenesis of primary sludge: the role of solids retention time

This research investigates the effect of solids retention time (SRT) on the acid-phase anaerobic digestion of primary sludge. A series of experiments were conducted using two continuous-flow 3-L units with the following configuration: a completely mixed reactor (CMR) with clarifier and solids recycle and an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. Results show that C(2) to C(5) volatile fatty acids (VFA) were the predominant compounds formed. At a constant hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 12 h, variation in SRT from 10 to 20 days resulted in a slight increase in VFA production in both systems, but at a shorter SRT (5 days) a drastic drop in acid production was observed. In addition, the percent distribution of VFA was to some extent affected by the change in SRT. On the other hand, organic matter degradation [measured by the chemical oxygen demand (COD) specific solubilization rate or the percent volatile suspended solids (VSS) reduction] appeared to be independent of SRT, at least in the range investigated. The percent soluble COD in the form of VFA, however, increased steadily with increasing SRT, approaching the 90% level at 20 days. The remaining soluble COD in the effluent from these systems may be mainly attributed to metabolic intermediates and unused soluble substrate. (c) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Inhibition by fatty acids during fermentation of pre-treated waste activated sludge

Fermentation of waste activated sludge produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which can be used as the carbon sources for numerous biological processes. However, product inhibition can limit extent of fermentation to VFAs. In this study, product inhibition during fermentation of waste activated sludge pre-treated by a thermal hydrolysis process (THP-WAS) was investigated. Product inhibition was confirmed as spiking reactors with high levels of a mix of VFAs prevented fermentation taking place. Various inhibition models were trialled and it was found that a threshold model (based on thermodynamics) provided the best fit between model and data. This is the first time that threshold type inhibition has been shown for a mixed substrate, mixed population system. Batch fermentations carried out with THP-WAS of different dilutions were used to evaluate the impact of different organic loadings. The threshold VFA concentration for the systems studied was determined to be 17±1gCOD(VFA)L(-1). Inhibition was shown to be due to the presence of a combination of VFAs containing 2-6 carbon atoms each. When evaluated individually, by spiking individual VFAs, all VFAs except for acetate had the same impact at this threshold; acetate being approximately 50% as inhibitory as the other organic acids (COD basis). Based on this, a weighted model could be proposed to better represent the data. Strategies to improve overall yield could be increased production of acetate, or dilution to below the inhibitory level.     

Improved volatile fatty acids production from proteins of sewage sludge with anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) under anaerobic condition

Organic matters in sewage sludge can be converted into volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as renewable carbon sources. This work for the first time applied anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) for enhancing VFA production from sewage sludge. With 0.066 or 0.33 g AQDS g⁻¹ dried solids (DS), the yields for VFAs peak at 403 or 563 mg l⁻¹, 1.9- or 2.7-fold to the control. The accumulated VFAs were principally composed of acetate and propionate. The AQDS enhances degradation rates of model proteins (bovine serum albumin), but had little enhancement on that of model polysaccharides (dextrans). The acidification step is proposed the rate-limiting step for VFA production from sewage sludge, in which the AQDS molecules shuttle electrons to accelerate the redox reactions associated with amino acid degradation. Methanogenic activities are inhibited in the presence of AQDS. The AQDS-assisted VFAs are renewable organic carbon sources, although their direct use for anaerobic digestion is not advised.
