Piggery waste treatment by using down-flow anaerobic fixed bed reactors

A study of the role of the depth in the performance of laboratory-scale down-flow anaerobic fixed-bed reactors (DFAFBR) was carried out at different nominal hydraulic retention times (HRT _N ) using piggery waste as substrate at different influent concentrations (2, 4, 6 and 8 g COD/L). The profiles of soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD) (SCOD), organic nitrogen (O.N.), ammonia nitrogen (A.N.), pH and electrical conductivity (E.C.) through the reactor depths showed an initial highly active zone, which was located around the first half of the reactor depth, and a second zone with a lower biological activity. It was found that the depth of the active zone decreased as the HRT _N increased and that the slopes of the profiles obtained increased with the rise in the influent concentration. A hydraulic test showed an increase in the dispersion number when the HRT _N increased. The reactors showed a hydraulic pattern between plug-flow and back-mix. The real values of HRT (Θ) also defined as real contact times were determined to be 0.7, 2.1, 3.4, 4.7, 6.4 and 8 days for values of HRT _N of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 days, respectively. It was found that the concentration of SCOD within the reactor decreased exponentially with the increase in the value of θ. Additionally, the influent concentration had a strong influence on the SCOD variation concentration, mainly at values of θ under 1.5 days, which corresponded to the first part of the reactors.

Optimization of esterification of fatty acid rubber seed oil for methyl ester synthesis in a plug flow reactor

To date, non-food vegetable oil has been considered as the primary source for biodiesel production. Rubber seed oil has high acid value (34 mgKOH/g) and can be used for biodiesel synthesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate esterification of fatty acid, which derived from rubber seed oil, in a plug flow reactor system at high temperature and low methanol consumption. Response surface methodology was applied for design experiment and optimization of esterification reaction. Temperature, methanol consumption, and sulfuric acid were chosen as variables to examine their influence in a conversion to methyl ester. At 140°C, at 5:1 methanol to fatty acid ratio (by mole), H₂SO₄ 1.5 (%v/w), and space time 20 min, the conversion to methyl ester attained 98.2%. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used for analysis and to confirm the formation of methyl ester. Methyl ester was characterized for biodiesel fuel properties in accordance to ASTM standard.     

The use of naturally generated volatile fatty acids for herbicide removal via denitrification

This research focuses on the removal of 2, 4-D via denitrification, with a particular emphasis on the effect of adding naturally generated volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as a carbon source. These VFAs had been produced from an acid-phase anaerobic digester (mean VFA concentration of 3153 ± 801 mg/L [as acetic acid]). The first step involved developing 2, 4-D degrading bacteria in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) fed with both sewage and 2, 4-D (30–100 mg/L). Subsequent denitrification batch tests demonstrated that the specific denitrification rate increased from 0.0119 ± 0.0039 to 0.0192 ± 0.0079 g NO₃-N/g volatile suspended solids (VSS) per day, when using 2, 4-D alone versus 2, 4-D plus natural VFAs from the digester as a carbon source. Similarly, the specific 2, 4-D consumption rate increased from 0.0016 ± 0.0009 to 0.0055 ± 0.0021 g 2,4-D/g VSS per day, when using 2, 4-D alone as compared to using 2, 4-D plus natural VFAs. Finally, a parallel increase in the percent 2, 4-D removal was observed, rising from 28.33 ± 11.88 using 2, 4-D alone to 54.17 ± 21.89 using 2, 4-D plus natural VFAs.

移动床生物膜反应器中模拟微生物耗氧速率对微孔曝气氧传质效率的影响研究

为研究移动床生物膜反应器(MBBR)中微生物呼吸作用对微孔曝气氧传质效率(OTE)的影响,向清水中持续通入一定浓度的消氧剂——亚硫酸钠溶液,通过亚硫酸钠的氧化来模拟微生物的呼吸耗氧。基于不同填充率和曝气量工况条件下,考察了微生物耗氧速率(OUR)对OTE的影响。结果表明:在40L/h曝气量条件下,装置填充率在20%~50%时,标准氧传质效率(SOTE)与OUR存在着明显的正相关性,其线性拟合R2介于0.789 8~0.976 2;填充率为60%时,SOTE随OUR的增大无明显变化。装置填充率在50%、曝气量分别为40、80、100L/h时,SOTE随OUR的增大无明显变化;而曝气量为60L/h时,SOTE随OUR的增大明显增大。进一步分析试验结果得出,MBBR中,微生物OUR可用来近似表征OTE,但不同填充率和曝气量会对两者的相关性产生一定影响。

城市垃圾焚烧渗沥液中Ca2+对厌氧EGSB处理效果的影响简

研究了城市生活垃圾焚烧厂渗沥液中Ca²⁺对厌氧颗粒污泥膨胀床反应器（EGSB）处理效果的影响,并采用静态实验方法考察了Ca²⁺对厌氧颗粒污泥产甲烷活性的影响。实验结果表明,进水COD为17 000 mg/L的条件下,当Ca²⁺浓度低于6 000 mg/L时,EGSB对COD去除率达93%以上;当Ca²⁺浓度高于6 000 mg/L时,COD去除率随运行时间明显下降,并在污泥中形成大量沉淀。静态实验结果表明,废水中低浓度Ca²⁺促进了厌氧颗粒污泥的产甲烷活性,但高浓度Ca²⁺明显抑制了其产甲烷活性,这是导致高Ca²⁺浓度条件下EGSB对COD去除率降低的主要原因。研究表明,颗粒污泥产甲烷活性恢复程度随Ca²⁺浓度增加而减弱。
