接种比例对酒糟与餐厨垃圾混合厌氧发酵产沼气的影响

采用酒糟与餐厨垃圾作为混合发酵物料,并接种消化污泥进行厌氧干式发酵,比较接种比例(inoculum to substrate ratios,ISRs)(VS质量比)分别为0.5、0.8、1.0、2.0时的甲烷产率和产量、体系VFA、碱度、游离氨等指标。结果表明:接种比例的提高可有效提高甲烷产生速率,缩短发酵周期,减弱较高浓度VFA引起的抑制作用。当ISRs=1.0时产甲烷效果较好,累计产甲烷率为222.58mL/g,VS去除率达83.4%,继续增加接种比例对发酵效果影响不显著。此外,试验中适宜的VFA/碱度值为0.3～1.2,过大或过小都有可能抑制产甲烷过程。     

游离氨对热水解联合中温厌氧消化处理剩余污泥的影响

热水解预处理强化了污泥厌氧消化过程,但同时增加了微生物受游离氨抑制的风险.对比传统工艺,在有机容积负荷率1.74~4.27gVS/(L·d)条件下,研究了游离氨(FA)对热水解联合中温厌氧消化工艺性能的影响.结果表明,组合工艺甲烷产量较传统反应器提高89%~121%,有机去除率提高1.21~1.46倍.但同时导致系统中游离氨浓度达89~382mgN/L,显著高于传统工艺中37~84mgN/L的范围.游离氨毒性测试显示,传统工艺中FA浓度从43mgN/L升至84mgN/L,没有抑制解乙酸产甲烷途径,而组合工艺中FA升至264mgN/L时,表现出抑制作用,尽管厌氧菌对高浓度FA表现更强的驯化趋势.结合氮负荷试验, FA浓度与基质利用能力,解乙酸产甲烷途径抑制程度和挥发性有机酸积累的关系表明,高有机负荷条件下组合工艺效率可通过控制氮负荷优化.     

Effects of mixture ratio on anaerobic co-digestion with fruit and vegetable waste and food waste of China

The biochemical methane potentials for typical fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) and food waste (FW) from a northern China city were investigated, which were 0.30, 0.56 m3 CH4/kgVS (volatile solids) with biodegradabilities of 59.3% and 83.6%, respectively. Individual anaerobic digestion testes of FVW and FW were conducted at the organic loading rate (OLR) of 3 kg VS/(m3 day) using a lab-scale continuous stirred-tank reactor at 35°C. FVW could be digested stably with the biogas production rate of 2.17 m3/(m3 day) and methane production yield of 0.42 m3 CH4/kg VS. However, anaerobic digestion process for FW was failed due to acids accumulation. The effects of FVW: FW ratio on co-digestion stability and performance were further investigated at the same OLR. At FVW and FW mixing ratios of 2:1 and 1:1, the performance and operation of the digester were maintained stable, with no accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFA) and ammonia. Changing the feed to a higher FW content in a ratio of FVW to FW 1:2, resulted in an increase in VFAs concentration to 1100–1200 mg/L, and the methanogenesis was slightly inhibited. At the optimum mixture ratio 1:1 for co-digestion of FVW with FW, the methane production yield was 0.49 m3 CH4/kg VS, and the volatile solids and soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) removal efficiencies were 74.9% and 96.1%, respectively.     

剩余污泥与废弃油脂混合厌氧消化产气缓滞因素研究

通过完全混合式厌氧消化反应研究了底物中添加30%(以VS计)的厨余提取物,且底物与接种物的VS比为1.87时厌氧消化过程中产气迟滞的影响因素.结果表明,反应过程中氨氮含量小于500 mg·L^-1时,游离氨对比甲烷累积产气率基本没有影响.挥发性脂肪酸(VFAs)的富集及反应器酸化是影响产气缓滞的直接因素,VFAs中乙酸的大量累积使得反应器酸化严重,pH降至6.4,产生了10~15 d的产气迟滞,之后随着VFAs的降解和碱度的缓冲,产气恢复正常.完全混合式反应器在各个阶段出现的不同污泥颗粒体现了反应进行的不同阶段和反应的酸化情况.     

Enhanced anaerobic fermentation with azo dye as electron acceptor： Simultaneous acceleration of organics decomposition and azo decolorization

Accumulation of hydrogen during anaerobic processes usually results in low decomposition of volatile organic acids（VFAs）. On the other hand, hydrogen is a good electron donor for dye reduction, which would help the acetogenic conversion in keeping low hydrogen concentration. The main objective of the study was to accelerate VFA composition through using azo dye as electron acceptor. The results indicated that the azo dye serving as an electron acceptor could avoid H2 accumulation and accelerate anaerobic digestion of VFAs. After adding the azo dye, propionate decreased from 2400.0 to 689.5 mg/L and acetate production increased from 180.0 to 519.5 mg/L. It meant that the conversion of propionate into acetate was enhanced. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed that the abundance of propionate-utilizing acetogens with the presence of azo dye was greater than that in a reference without azo dye. The experiments via using glucose as the substrate further demonstrated that the VFA decomposition and the chemical oxygen demand（COD） removal increased by 319.7 mg/L and 23.3% respectively after adding the azo dye. Therefore, adding moderate azo dye might be a way to recover anaerobic system from deterioration due to the accumulation of H2 or VFAs.     

Modified ADM1 for modeling free ammonia inhibition in anaerobic acidogenic fermentation with high-solid sludge

Anaerobic acidogenic fermentation with high-solid sludge is a promising method for volatile fatty acid (VFA) production to realize resource recovery. In this study, to model inhibition by free ammonia in high-solid sludge fermentation, the anaerobic digestion model No. 1 (ADM1) was modified to simulate the VFA generation in batch, semi-continuous and full scale sludge. The ADM1 was operated on the platform AQUASIM 2.0. Three kinds of inhibition forms, e.g., simple inhibition, Monod and non-inhibition forms, were integrated into the ADM1 and tested with the real experimental data for batch and semi-continuous fermentation, respectively. The improved particle swarm optimization technique was used for kinetic parameter estimation using the software MATLAB 7.0. In the modified ADM1, the K_s of acetate is 0.025, the k_m,ac is 12.51, and the K_{I_NH3} is 0.02, respectively. The results showed that the simple inhibition model could simulate the VFA generation accurately while the Monod model was the better inhibition kinetics form in semi-continuous fermentation at pH 10.0. Finally, the modified ADM1 could successfully describe the VFA generation and ammonia accumulation in a 30 m³ full-scale sludge fermentation reactor, indicating that the developed model can be applicable in high-solid sludge anaerobic fermentation.     

R-PFR与CSTR厌氧消化餐厨垃圾运行效率及微生物群落结构对比

以中温餐厨垃圾(FW)厌氧消化反应器为研究对象,结合稳定运行过程中的微生物群落结构特征,考察了两种常见的厌氧消化反应器—完全混合式反应器(CSTR)和有回流的推流式反应器(R-PFR)的运行效率和稳定性.结果表明,两种构型的反应器均能在3.0 kg·m-3·d-1(以VS计)负荷下稳定高效地运行.R-PFR具有更稳定的稳定性指数,如总碱度(TA)和挥发性脂肪酸比TA值(VFA/TA),以及更低的氨氮(TAN)和游离氨(FAN)浓度,但产气效率(如比甲烷产率(SMP))不及CSTR.R-PFR中以Chloroflexi门(37.35%)和Firmicutes门(31.22%)为优势细菌,而CSTR中以Bacteroidetes门(31.14%)与Firmicutes门(44.41%)为优势细菌.CSTR和R-PFR均以Methanosaeta属为优势产甲烷菌(98.72%和84.90%),乙酸型产甲烷途径为主要的产甲烷途径.但CSTR中除Methanosaeta属以外还有一定丰度的混合营养型的Methanosarcina,以及氢营养型Methanospirillum和Methanolinea.CSTR中具有对VFA和TAN更具耐受性的产甲烷菌群,更有利于餐厨垃圾产甲烷过程的稳定进行.由于R-PFR的敏感性较低,有利于处理剧烈变化的底物,但R-PFR容易出现严重的局部酸化现象,不利于长期处理过高负荷的易降解底物(如餐厨垃圾).这些结果可为优化餐厨垃圾厌氧消化工艺设计提供基础依据.     

回灌渗滤液VFA浓度对填埋层甲烷化代谢的影响

处于稳定产甲烷阶段的填埋层具有降解回灌渗滤液有机物的能力,但高浓度渗滤液的主要组分(挥发性脂肪酸(VFA))可能影响填埋层的甲烷化代谢,导致填埋层对回灌渗滤液有机物降解效率恶化.采用实验室模拟填埋柱回灌不同ρ(VFA)模拟渗滤液的方法,研究不同VFA负荷对稳定产甲烷阶段填埋层甲烷化代谢的影响.结果表明:稳定产甲烷填埋层具有处理高ρ(VFA-C)渗滤液的能力,其有机碳的转化能力小于1.0 g/(kg·d);当回灌渗滤液中的ρ(VFA-C)大于14.8g/L(有机负荷为2.2 g/(kg·d))时可抑制填埋层的甲烷化代谢,但这种抑制可随着回灌渗滤液中ρ(VFA-C)的降低而得到解除;为保证填埋层内垃圾的降解,应控制回灌渗滤液的有机负荷不超过1.0g/(k·d).      

Anaerobic digestion in mesophilic and room temperature conditions: Digestion performance and soil-borne pathogen survival

Tomato plant waste(TPW) was used as the feedstock of a batch anaerobic reactor to evaluate the effect of anaerobic digestion on Ralstonia solanacearum and Phytophthora capsici survival. Batch experiments were carried out for TS(total solid) concentrations of 2%, 4% and 6% respectively, at mesophilic(37 ± 1°C) and room(20–25°C) temperatures. Results showed that higher digestion performance was achieved under mesophilic digestion temperature and lower TS concentration conditions. The biogas production ranged from 71 to 416 L/kg VS(volatile solids). The inactivation of anaerobic digestion tended to increase as digestion performance improved. The maximum log copies reduction of R. solanacearum and P. capsici detected by quantitative PCR(polymerase chain reaction) were 3.80 and 4.08 respectively in reactors with 4% TS concentration at mesophilic temperatures. However, both in mesophilic and room temperature conditions, the lowest reduction of R. solanacearum was found in the reactors with 6% TS concentration, which possessed the highest VFA(volatile fatty acid) concentration. These findings indicated that simple accumulation of VFAs failed to restrain R. solanacearum effectively, although the VFAs were considered poisonous. P. capsici was nearly completely dead under all conditions. Based on the digestion performance and the pathogen survival rate, a model was established to evaluate the digestate biosafety.     

微生物群落对氨胁迫响应的宏基因组学研究

Co-inhibition of methanogens for methane mitigation in biodegradable wastes

The inhibition effects and mechanisms of chlorinated methane and acetylene on methanogenesis in the anaerobic digestion process of the biodegradable wastes were investigated.It was found that both chloroform and acetylene could effectively inhibit methanogens while the biodegradability of the wastes was not affected.Acetylene inhibited the activity of methanogens,while chloroform inhibited metabolic process of methanogenesis.A central composite design (CCD) and response surface regression analysis (RSREG) were employed to determine the optimum conditions and interaction effects of chloroform and acetylene in terms of inhibition efficiency,production of volatile fatty acids and molar ratio of propionic acid to acetic acid.Chloroform had significant effect on enhancing the production of VFA (F = 121.3;p<0.01),and acetylene promoted the inhibition efficiency (F = 99.15;p<0.05) more effectively than chloroform (F = 9.72;p>0.05).In addition,a maximum molar ratio of propionic acid to acetic acid of 1.208 was estimated under the optimum conditions of chloroform concentration of 9.05 mg/kg and acetylene concentration of 3.6×10-3 (V/V).Hence,methanogens in the wastes can be inhibited while the stabilization process of the biodegradable wastes can still work well,as propionic acid generated during the inhibition process could hardly be utilized by methanogens.     

氨氮对餐厨垃圾厌氧消化性能及微生物群落的影响

为探析氨氮（TAN）对餐厨垃圾厌氧消化性能及微生物群落的影响,在串联批次实验中引入氨氮胁迫,结合Miseq高通量测序分析,研究了不同TAN浓度下厌氧消化系统的过程参数响应以及微生物群落动态.结果显示,随TAN增加,甲烷回收率从（96.53±2.66）%下降至（63.13±0.73）%,消化时间从435h延长至915h,连续驯化下,TAN为3000mg/L的实验组产气性能完全恢复,而高氨氮实验组（TAN³6000mg/L）仍处于抑制状态.相较于乙酸代谢而言,长链挥发性脂肪酸（LCVFAs）代谢对TAN的耐受度更高（6000mg/L）,但一旦被抑制,其功能难以通过驯化恢复.从微生物层面上看,高丰度且功能冗余的水解酸化细菌保证了各TAN梯度下的水解酸化作用;氨氮敏感的Methanosaeta和Methanospirillum也能通过驯化被耐氨的Methanosarcina和Methanoculleus取代,从而维持系统产甲烷功能;相比之下,产氢产乙酸菌功能高度专一,仅C₄~C₁₈降解菌Syntrophomonas和丙酸降解菌Pelotomaculum被检测到,在连续的高氨氮暴露下,前者的丰度虽有一定程度的恢复,但后者未能被驯化,最终系统出现以丙酸为主的LCVFAs积累,产气性能恶化.可见, LCVFAs的互营降解才是氨抑制失稳的关键环节.     

厨余垃圾半连续干式厌氧发酵的影响因素研究

探究了半连续干式厌氧发酵过程中有机负荷（organic loading rate,OLR）、搅拌速率和物料停留时间对甲烷产量的影响;并采用结构方程模型探究调控因素与厌氧体系中间产物和甲烷产量的动态变化。结果表明:提高OLR至5.5 g VS/（L·d）时,产甲烷效果最佳,平均日甲烷产量达到3084.40 mL/（L·d）。提高搅拌速率和物料停留时间可促进甲烷产生,但过低或过高的停留时间会导致NH₄+-N和VFAs积累并抑制厌氧产甲烷过程;综合考虑,搅拌速率为20 r/min,停留时间为1 d最有利于甲烷的生成。结构方程模型结果显示:在厨余垃圾半连续干式厌氧发酵过程中,搅拌速率和物料停留时间对甲烷产量的影响大于OLR,其标准总效应分别为0.435、0.370和-0.04,这主要是由于提高搅拌速率有效缓解了干式厌氧发酵中VFAs对甲烷产量的抑制效应。     

总氨氮在餐厨垃圾厌氧消化系统中的积累及其抑制作用

为研究总氨氮(TAN)在餐厨垃圾中温干式厌氧消化系统内的积累及抑制作用,在单相完全搅拌式(CSTR)反应器内进行餐厨垃圾中温厌氧消化,反应器在3 g·L-1·d-1(以VS计)的负荷下连续运行230余天,期间不断监测TAN及其余物化指标的变化.试验结果表明,TAN在系统内的积累呈现先快后慢的趋势,且不会持续积累,而是积累到一定程度后会保持稳定.游离氨(FAN)是氨抑制中起主导作用的因素,FAN大于150 mg·L-1时就会影响到系统效率;大于200 mg·L-1时会影响系统稳定性;大于300 mg·L-1后会产生强烈抑制,引发稳态型抑制,甚至导致系统出现泡沫.此外,氨抑制会影响系统产气动力学,导致产气速率降低,产气量减少.寻找合理的措施消除氨抑制对保障系统稳定运行具有重要意义.     

Impact of undissociated volatile fatty acids on acidogenesis in a two-phase anaerobic system

This study investigated the degradation and production of volatile fatty acids(VFAs)in the acidogenic phase reactor of a two-phase anaerobic system.20 mmol/L bromoethanesulfonic acid(BESA)was used to inhibit acidogenic methanogens(which were present in the acidogenic phase reactor)from degrading VFAs.The impact of undissociated volatile fatty acids(un VFAs)on"net"VFAs production in the acidogenic phase reactor was then evaluated,with the exclusion of concurrent VFAs degradation."Net"VFAs production from glucose degradation was partially inhibited at high un VFAs concentrations,with 59%,37% and 60% reduction in production rates at 2190 mg chemical oxygen demand(COD)/L undissociated acetic acid(un HAc),2130 mg COD/L undissociated propionic acid(un HPr)and 2280 mg COD/L undissociated n-butyric acid(un HBu),respectively.The profile of VFAs produced further indicated that while an un VFA can primarily affect its own formation,there were also un VFAs that affected the formation of other VFAs.

硫酸盐还原菌促进市政污泥厌氧发酵产乙酸

添加各浓度钼酸盐考察不同抑制水平下硫酸盐还原菌(SRB)对市政污泥发酵产酸的作用. 结果表明:在有硫酸盐存在时,未抑制SRB体系中ρ(乙酸)占ρ(总VFAs)的比例可达83%,无丙酸、丁酸积累;而在SRB高抑制水平体系中,ρ(乙酸)只占约40%. 随后以未添加硫酸盐体系为对照,研究了硫酸盐投加方式及在发酵中后期抑制SRB对产物中挥发性脂肪酸(VFAs)成分及其浓度的影响;同时,通过对dsrA酶的编码基因含量定量分析发现,随着硫酸盐的加入,SRB数量速增,产物中丙酸、丁酸先后转化为乙酸,且ρ(乙酸)占ρ(总VFAs)的比例可达90%以上. 添加SRB可作为实现污泥发酵定向累积乙酸的调控手段.      

餐厨垃圾干式厌氧消化污泥膨胀微生态特征

分别在推流式反应器（PFR）（R1）和完全混合式反应器（CSTR）（R2）中进行餐厨垃圾（KW）中温干式厌氧消化（AD）,并采用MiSeq高通量测序技术分析反应器污泥膨胀前后的微生态特征.结果表明,污泥膨胀后古菌群落结构变化不显著,R1和R2分别以乙酸营养型的Methanosaeta和复合营养型的Methanosarcina为优势产甲烷菌;而细菌群落中某些可能与污泥膨胀有关的菌属的相对丰度显著增大,包括能合成并分泌生物表面活性物质的菌属（如Corynebacterium、Lactobacillus等）和细胞壁含分枝菌酸的菌属（如Actinomyces、Corynebacterium）.反应器在污泥膨胀前均经历了挥发性脂肪酸（VFAs）和氨氮积累,相应的,能贡献系统酸积累（如Petrimonas、Anaerosalibacter和Fastidiosipila等）和氨氮积累（如Proteiniphilum、Tepidimicrobium和Aminobacterium等）的菌属也大量增殖.     

C/N对污泥厌氧发酵产酸类型及代谢途径的影响

研究了污泥的初始C/N对污泥发酵产酸类型的影响及产酸代谢途径.初始C/N在12时,形成的是乙酸型发酵类型;当初始C/N在56左右,可实现丙酸型发酵类型;而当C/N处于156时,则形成丁酸型发酵.不同发酵产酸类型的形成是由优势产酸菌群的改变导致的.末端限制性片段长度多态性分析(T-RFLP)微生物种群的结果表明,构成乙酸型发酵类型的主要优势菌群为消化链球菌属;而丙酸型发酵类型中的优势菌群则为丙酸杆菌属;梭菌属则是丁酸型发酵类型中的优势产酸功能菌.有机酸代谢途径中关键酶活性检测结果表明,在低C/N条件下,乙酸的累积主要是通过氨基酸之间的Stickland反应形成,而随着C/N值的增大,导致丙酸和丁酸累积的主要代谢途径转变为糖酵解的丙酮酸途径.     

进料浓度对鸡粪长期高温甲烷发酵的影响

通过固定水力停留时间（HRT）为20d,逐步提高进料总固体（TS）浓度为5.0%,7.5%和10.0%的方式提高有机负荷（OLR）,在高温（55±1）℃条件下开展鸡粪长期甲烷发酵实验并测定了各阶段污泥的比产甲烷活性（SMA）,探究氨氮浓度对鸡粪高温甲烷发酵的影响.结果显示,当进料TS由5.0%增至10.0%,出料氨氮浓度由（2.5±0.3）g/L增至（6.1±0.2）g/L,挥发性脂肪酸（VFAs）由（0.4±0.1）g/L增至（26.1±1.5）g/L,pH值由（8.3±0.2）降至（6.9±0.1）,产气率由（267.2±12.5）mL/g TS_in降至49.8±8.2mL/g TS_in,甲烷浓度由（67.2±1.3）%降至（36.0±1.7）%.长时间采用TS 10.0%的进料浓度,发酵系统中氨氮浓度最高达到7.5g/L,VFAs浓度达到27.0g/L,产气下降明显.氨氮抑制鸡粪高温甲烷发酵产气的初始浓度为2.5~3.0g/L.进料TS大于7.5%,鸡粪高温甲烷发酵会受到氨氮抑制.氨氮浓度的升高导致高温发酵体系利用乙酸产甲烷的能力降低,氨氮浓度达到5.5g/L,SMA降低60.0%;氨氮浓度达到7.0g/L,污泥利用乙酸产甲烷的活动几乎停止.
