Optimization of Sludge Carbon Source Recovery from Waste Activated Sludge Thermo-alkaline Hydrolysis and Short-cut Fermentation Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Organic products generated from waste activated sludge hydrolysis and fermentation process could be used as supplementary carbon source for enhanced biological nutrient removal. However, accompanied with organics production, large amount of ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) and soluble orthophosphorus (SOP) released, which would be negative to the reutilization of sludge carbon source. In this study, based on wasted activated sludge thermal-alkaline and short-cut fermentation process, optimal conditions for NH4+-N and SOP removal condition, and sludge carbon source recovery from short-cut fermentation liquid have been investigated systematically using response surface method. Results showed that, the removal rate of NH4+-N and SOP were 72.27% and 85.98% respectively, and the SCOD recovery rate was 80.74%.

Effect of polyhydroxyalkanoates on dark fermentative hydrogen production from waste activated sludge.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), an intracellular energy and carbon storage polymer, can be accumulated in activated sludge in substantial quantities under wastewater dynamic treatment (i.e., substrate feast-famine) conditions. However, its influence on hydrogen production has never been investigated before. This study therefore evaluated the influences of PHA level and composition in waste activat...
متن کاملA new process to improve short-chain fatty acids and bio-methane generation from waste activated sludge.
As an important intermediate product, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) can be generated after hydrolysis and acidification from waste activated sludge, and then can be transformed to methane during anaerobic digestion process. In order to obtain more SCFA and methane, most studies in literatures were centered on enhancing the hydrolysis of sludge anaerobic digestion which was proved as un-effici...
متن کاملWaste-Activated Sludge Fermentation for Polyacrylamide Biodegradation Improved by Anaerobic Hydrolysis and Key Microorganisms Involved in Biological Polyacrylamide Removal
During the anaerobic digestion of dewatered sludge, polyacrylamide (PAM), a chemical conditioner, can usually be consumed as a carbon and nitrogen source along with other organic matter (e.g., proteins and carbohydrates in the sludge). However, a significant accumulation of acrylamide monomers (AMs) was observed during the PAM biodegradation process. To improve the anaerobic hydrolysis of PAM, ...
متن کاملBacillus licheniformis proteases as high value added products from fermentation of wastewater sludge: pre-treatment of sludge to increase the performance of the process.
Wastewater sludge is a complex raw material that can support growth and protease production by Bacillus licheniformis. In this study, sludge was treated by different thermo-alkaline pre-treatment methods and subjected to Bacillus licheniformis fermentation in bench scale fermentors under controlled conditions. Thermo-alkaline treatment was found to be an effective pre-treatment process in order...
متن کاملEnhanced short chain fatty acids production from waste activated sludge conditioning with typical agricultural residues: carbon source composition regulates community functions
BACKGROUND A wide range of value-added by-products can be potentially produced from waste activated sludge (WAS) through anaerobic fermentation, among which short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are versatile green chemicals, but the conversion yield of SCFAs is usually constrained by the low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of the original WAS. Conditioning of the WAS with cellulose-containing agricultural ...
