Overview of key operation factors and strategies for improving fermentative volatile fatty acid production and product regulation from sewage sludge

In recent years, volatile fatty acid (VFA) production through anaerobic fermentation of sewage sludge, instead of methane production, has been regarded as a high-value and promising roadmap for sludge stabilization and resource recovery. This review first presents the effects of some essential factors that influence VFA production and composition. In the second part, we present an extensive analysis of conventional pretreatment and co-fermentation strategies ultimately addressed to improving VFA production and composition. Also, the effectiveness of these approaches is summarized in terms of sludge degradation, hydrolysis rate, and VFA production and composition. According to published studies, it is concluded that some pretreatments such as alkaline and thermal pretreatment are the most effective ways to enhance VFA production from sewage sludge. The possible reasons for the improvement of VFA production by different methods are also discussed. Finally, this review also highlights several current technical challenges and opportunities in VFA production with spectrum control, and further related research is proposed.     

UASB及VFA在啤酒废水厌氧处理中的应用

采用UASB(上流式厌氧污泥床)——生物接触氧化处理呼酒废水，出水水质达到综合排放一级标准，而VFA(挥发性脂肪酸)可直接监测厌氧处理的运行情况。     

NaCl对餐厨垃圾厌氧发酵产VFA浓度及组分的影响

通过间歇实验研究了最适反应条件(pH值为6.0、温度为35℃)下NaCl含量对餐厨垃圾厌氧发酵产挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)的影响.考察了NaCl含量为0.0,3.0,6.0,9.0,12.0g/L下的有机酸浓度及组成情况.结果表明,NaCl对厌氧发酵液中VFA浓度影响显著,随NaCl含量提高VFA浓度呈下降趋势,当NaCl含量达到12.0g/L时,VFA浓度在第114h达到最大值4.14g/L,仅为未添加NaCl条件下的10.1%.发酵液中各组分变化经历丁酸积累、乙酸积累与乙酸消耗3个阶段,NaCl对厌氧发酵类型影响不显著,各批次发酵均为丁酸型发酵,仅当NaCl含量超过6.0g/L时丁酸积累阶段时间延长.     

麦秸对两相厌氧废水处理工艺产酸相的影响

采用间歇试验的方法对不同pH条件下,两相厌氧工艺处理含麦秸的低浓度废水的产酸相进行了研究.分别考察了酸性、中性和碱性条件对有麦秸反应器和无麦秸反应器中的COD、氨氮、VFA变化的影响.试验结果表明:在三种pH条件下,除第一周期外有麦秸反应器的出水pH始终要低于无麦秸反应器的出水pH,并且酸性条件下的出水pH值最低.介于...     

油脂对餐厨废弃物单相厌氧定向制酸的影响

通过间歇实验研究了油脂对餐厨废弃物单相厌氧定向产酸(VFA)的影响.考察了油脂含量为0.0,5.0,15.0及25.0g/L条件下发酵液中有机酸浓度及组成的变化情况.结果表明,油脂对发酵液中VFA浓度影响显著,随油脂含量提高最大VFA浓度呈下降趋势,当油脂含量达到25.0g/L时,最大VFA浓度仅为23.22g/L,为未添加油脂条件下的55.3%,其次油脂可延后开始产酸的时间,油脂含量为5.0g/L时,达到最高VFA浓度50%所需的反应时间分别为49.4h相对未添加油脂组滞后27.1h.此外油脂会影响发酵液中VFA各组分比例,提高丙酸含量促使发酵类型由丁酸型发酵向丙酸型发酵转变,当油脂含量为5.0g/L时丙酸所占比例分别为32.2%,而未添加油脂组的丙酸含量仅占8.7%.     

基于优质碳源提供的CAMBR复合工艺短程硝化-反硝化除磷研究

挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)是反硝化除磷过程可以利用的优质碳源,为此本研究结合厌氧折流板反应器(ABR)微生物相分离和膜生物反应器(MBR)出水水质优良的特性,构建了CAMBR复合工艺,并通过优化ABR水力停留时间(HRT)等运行条件以提供优质碳源,实现高效反硝化除磷.研究表明,当ABR的HRT为4.8 h时,可获得充足的VFA作为优质碳源,并实现消耗VFA的量为56.1 mg·L~(-1)的同时获得10.43 mg·L~(-1)的释磷,即释放1 mg磷需要的VFA量为5.38 mg,同时实现12.35 mg·L~(-1)的吸磷,而MBR池的吸磷为1.33 mg·L~(-1).短程硝化除磷过程中,缺氧消耗1 mg PO_4~(3-)-P需要0.62 mg的NO-x-N,吸收1 mg PO_4~(3-)-P所需NO_2~--N的量为1.67~2.04 mg.系统出水水质稳定,COD、TN和溶解性PO_4~(3-)-P的平均去除率分别为91%、84%和93%,出水平均浓度分别为30、7.15和0.55 mg·L~(-1),表明CAMBR复合工艺生在处理生活污水过程中可获得稳定高效的反硝化除磷效果.
