酒精废水消化液预处理试验研究

高浓度酒精糟液经厌氧生物处理后排出的消化液COD浓度为4500—6000mg/L，SS浓度高这1500—2．600mg,／L，且由于微小沼气泡附着在厌氧污泥上，沉降性能很差，难以与消化液相分离，对后续处理十分不剁。本研兜采用预曝气．化学混凝沉淀组合工艺，对该消化液进行去除高浓度SS的顸处理试验，研究探讨了曝气时间、混凝剂种类和投加量对SS和COD去除效果的影响。试验结果表明，预曝气．化学混凝沉淀组合工艺对消化液SS的去除效果十分显著。当预曝气时间为6．0h，FeCl3投加量为100mg/L时，消化液的SS去除率75．4％，COD去除率24．3％，可为后续的好氧生物处理提供较为有利的水质和负荷条件。     

Kinetic analysis of the anaerobic digestion of untreated vinasses and vinasses previously treated with Penicillium decumbens

A kinetic study was carried out on the anaerobic digestion of untreated vinasses and vinasses previously fermented with Penicillium decumbens. Two 1-l volume continuous-flow stirred tank reactors (CFSTR) operating at mesophilic temperature (35 degrees C) were used for the study. One reactor was fed with untreated vinasses (COD concentration of 80.5 g/l) and the other with vinasses previously fermented (COD concentration of 23.0 g/l). Both reactors were operated at organic loading rates in the range of 1.5-7.5 g chemical oxygen demand (COD)/l-d. The results obtained were evaluated using the Chen-Hashimoto methane production model to determine the values of the maximum specific growth rate (micromax) and the model kinetic constant (K) of the process for each case studied. The kinetic constants (micromax and K) were affected by the pre-treatment, and the respective values were 9.6 and 6.9 times higher for pretreated vinasses than those of untreated vinasses. This was significant at the 95% confidence level. This behaviour is believed to be due to the lower levels of phenolic compounds present in the pretreated vinasses, as compared to untreated vinasses, resulting in an improved process performance, kinetics and stability. Finally, the experimental values of methane production were reproduced with deviations equal to or less than 4% and 10% for pretreated and untreated vinasses, respectively.
