Physico-chemical characterization of Residual Household Waste for energy recovery in insular territories: Case study of Reunion Island

Waste-to-energy is a promising approach to face the current challenge of waste overproduction in Reunion Island, a French territory. In this particular context of an isolated and tropical territory, it is essential to study the properties of potential feedstocks to choose the most appropriate conversion process. This article reports on the composition of Residual Household Waste from Reunion Island and its physico-chemical parameters. Twelve representative samples of Residual Household Waste were subjected to thermal and elemental analysis. The results showed that their composition had a significant influence on the physico-chemical properties, including calorific value. Residual Household Waste from the selective sorting (rich in wood, plastic, and sanitary textiles) as well as dry mixed RHW are the most interesting for energy recovery. Due to their high volatile matter and high carbon content, and their low moisture content, these types of waste have a high calorific value exceeding 18 MJ/kg. Furthermore, the RHW sample comply with the environmental and health criteria applied by French regulations concerning halogen and heavy metal. Thus, it seems that Residual Household Waste can be an alternative to conventional fuels used in incineration or pyro-gasification processes. However, the study also points the need for a pre-treatment process for these wastes. Indeed, it is necessary to sort them correctly in order to avoid the risks of pollution and important maintenance. And more importantly, drying beforehand is unavoidable to improve combustibility and obtain optimal energy conversion.     

Organic matter extracted from activated sludge with ammonium hydroxide and its characterization

In order to characterize the organic properties of waste activated sludge in a wastewater treatment plant,organic matter within sludge was extracted with NH 3 ·H 2 O preferentially,and subsequently fractionated into five fractions using XAD-8/XAD-4 resins.Up to a 63.8%-71.1% of organic matter within the sludge could be efficiently extracted by NH 3 ·H 2 O.Fractionation results showed that hydrophobic acid and hydrophilic fraction were two main components among the sludge organic matter (accounting for 32.2% and 48.0% of the bulk organic matter,respectively),whereas transphilic acid,hydrophobic neutral and transphilic neutral were quite low (accounting for 9.2%,5.8% and 4.8%,respectively).Despite that the extractant of NH 3 ·H 2 O showed a relatively higher extraction efficiency of the aromatic components,the relatively low aromaticity of the organic fractions implied that those non-aromatic components could also be effectively extracted,especially for neutral and hydrophilic fractions.In addition,acidic fractions contained more aromatic humic-like components,whereas the neutral fractions had a greater content of aromatic proteins and soluble microbial byproduct-like components.Extraction of sludge organics with NH 3 ·H 2 O and subsequential fractionation using XAD resins could be a novel method for further characterization of sludge organics.

Degradation of o-chloronitrobenzene as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources by Pseudomonas putida OCNB-1

A bacterial strain that utilized o-chloronitrobenzene(o-CNB) as the sole carbon,nitrogen and energy sources was isolated from an activated sludge collected from an industrial waste treatment plant. It was identified as Pseudomonas putida based on its morphology,physiological,and biochemical characteristics with an automatic biometrical system and the 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Microcosm study showed that the biodegradation of o-CNB was optimized at culture medium pH 8.0 and 32°C. At these conditions,the st...

去矿物前后碱萃取腐殖酸的化学组成与结构特征

本文采用改进的化学分离方法对Pahokee泥炭和稻田土壤中的腐殖酸进行了分离,得到了两类腐殖酸:去矿物前腐殖酸(HA-I)和去矿物后腐殖酸(HA-II),其中HA-II为前人未所顾及。然后采用元素分析、固体13C核磁共振、热解-色谱-质谱等技术对HA-I和HA-II的化学组成和结构进行了分析。结果显示HA-II在总腐殖酸中占有的比例分别是11.8%(泥炭)和37.1%(土壤)。HA-I和HA-II在化学组成和性质结构上有明显的差异,O/C原子比都表现为HA-IIH/CSSHA-I,表明从HA-I到HA-II,Pahokee泥炭和稻田土壤腐殖酸中的含氧基团都减少,Pahokee泥炭腐殖酸则脂族基团减少,而稻田土壤腐殖酸的脂族基团增加。这种HA-I和HA-II在结构性质上的变化在13C NMR和热解分析时也都得到了验证。另外热解分析还表明HA-I含有更多的易分解的结构组分,而HA-II则含有更多的难分解的结构组分。这些研究都说明HA-II与HA-I相比,在组成和结构特征上存在一些差异,含有更多的难分解的结构单元。本项研究结果对于理解土壤沉积物体系中腐殖酸的化学特征和地球化学过程与行为具有重要意义。
