电化学预处理提高剩余污泥好氧消化性能研究

采用电化学方法对好氧消化处理前的剩余污泥(以下简称污泥)进行预处理,考察了不同预处理条件对污泥有机物(以MLVSS来表征)的去除效果,探讨了电化学预处理对污泥好氧消化效率的影响。结果表明,以网状钛涂钌电极板为电极,在pH为11.00,极板间距为2.0cm,工作电压为15V,气体搅拌作用下电解30min后,污泥(初始质量浓度为20.04g/L)的MLVSS去除率达9.7%。污泥经过电化学预处理后,在自然温度(10～15℃)下进行好氧消化处理,14d后MLVSS去除率达40.1%,而同期未经预处理的污泥MLVSS去除率为33.2%,并于20d后达40.2%。经电化学预处理后污泥的好氧消化效率显著提高,大大缩短了污泥好氧消化的时间。     

热水解厌氧消化工艺中污泥胞外聚合物对流变和脱水的影响

为阐明热水解厌氧消化工艺中污泥胞外聚合物对脱水和流变的影响,选取北京市某再生水厂中热水解厌氧消化工艺的污泥为对象,通过测量污泥粒径、三维荧光及各层EPS含量研究了EPS去除对污泥流变和含固率的影响。结果表明,经过热水解预处理后的污泥,粒径相较混合污泥下降66.79%;混合污泥荧光波峰集中出现在酪氨酸类蛋白质区和色氨酸类蛋白质区,经过热水解后可溶性微生物代谢产物的荧光响应值升高,再经过厌氧消化后提升了腐殖酸区域荧光响应值;EPS的去除对于污泥流动性有重要影响。热水解污泥和热水解厌氧消化污泥去除EPS后表观黏度下降幅度较大;此外,不同的脱水方法对污泥含固率的影响也不同。混合污泥和热水解厌氧消化污泥去除S-EPS层后含固率提升366.67%和148.92%,而热水解污泥去除S-EPS层后提升效果不明显。研究结果从污泥组分和流变学角度为污泥脱水提供思路和依据。

本研究将超声波预处理引入城市生活污泥缺氧/好氧消化工艺中，自主设计了容积为30 L的生活污泥超声波-缺氧/好氧消化中试系统并用以实验研究。超声波预处理的参数为超声频率28 kHz，声能密度0.15 W/mL，超声时间10 min，超声间隔12 h，污泥超声比例30%。结果表明，引入超声预处理后，缩短了污泥的稳定时间，提高了污泥的消化效率。污泥消化10 d就已经达到了稳定标准，比未引入超声预处理时缩短了12 d，而MLVSS最大去除率提高了11%，达到了55.10%。超声波的引入，对污泥缺氧/好氧消化系统中污泥上清液溶解性COD（SCOD）的变化趋势影响比较明显，而对上清液的pH、氨氮和TP的变化趋势没有明显影响。

Enhancement of batch waste activated sludge digestion by microwave pretreatment.

Batch anaerobic digesters were used to stabilize microwave (MW)-irradiated waste activated sludge (WAS). A low temperature range (50-96 degrees C) MW irradiation was applied. Effects of pretreatment temperature (T) and intensity (I), concentration (C) and percentage of sludge pretreated (PT) were investigated in a multilevel factorial statistical design containing 54 mesophilic batch reactors by monitoring cumulative biogas production (CBP). Variance analysis (ANOVA) determined that the most important factors affecting WAS solubilization were temperature, intensity, and sludge concentration. Improvements in CBP from WAS were significantly affected by sludge percentage pretreated, temperature, and concentration. Pretreatment resulted in 3.6 +/- 0.6 and 3.2 +/- 0.1 fold increases in soluble to total chemical oxygen demand (SCOD/TCOD) at high and low sludge concentrations, respectively. WAS, microwaved to 96 degrees C, produced the greatest improvement in CBP with 15 +/- 0.5 and 20 +/- 0.3% increases over controls after 19 d of digestion at low and high WAS concentrations. Dewaterability of microwaved sludge was enhanced after anaerobic digestion.     

Performance of anaerobic waste activated sludge digesters after microwave pretreatment.

Effects of microwave pretreatment on waste activated sludge (WAS) in mesophilic semicontinuous digesters with acclimatized inoculum at solids retention times (SRTs) of 5, 10, and 20 days are presented. Batch digesters determined optimum microwave temperature, intensity, WAS concentration, and percentage of WAS pretreated for highest WAS solubilization (soluble to total chemical oxygen demand ratio [SCOD:TCOD]) and biogas production. Pretreatment results indicated the potential to damage floc structure and release 4.2-, 4.5-, and 3.6-fold higher soluble proteins, sugars, and SCOD:TCODs compared with controls, with nucleic acid release. Pretreatment increased dewaterability and bioavailability of WAS with 20% higher biogas production compared with controls in batch digestion. In semicontinuous digesters, relative (to control) improvements in removals dramatically increased, as SRT was shortened from 20 to 10 to 5 days, with 23 and 26% higher volatile solids removals for WAS pretreated to 96 degrees C by microwave and conventional heating at a 5-day SRT.     

Comparison of mechanical pretreatment methods for the enhancement of anaerobic digestion of pulp and paper waste activated sludge

The conventional anaerobic digestion process, requiring long solids retention times (SRTs) to digest solids, is currently viewed as impractical for the pulp and paper industry because of high capital costs associated with the construction of new digesters. Recent developments in sludge solubilization technology could be promising in reducing digester size, which also allows for the potential use of decommissioned tanks, both of which can reduce the capital cost. Three pretreatment technologies for use with anaerobic digestion were tested on laboratory-scale to investigate their feasibility. The SRTs in all three digesters systematically decreased from 20 to 3 days. The reference digester was fed waste activated sludge (WAS) to serve as the control at the same SRTs. The other digesters were fed WAS that had been preconditioned using mechanical shearing, sonication, or high-pressure homogenization technology. Anaerobic digestion with high-pressure homogenization produced as much methane at 3-day mean SRT as that from the reference digester operated at 20-day SRT. Therefore, a new digester can theoretically be 85% smaller than a conventional digester. An added benefit of WAS to methane conversion is the recovery of nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus.     

Impact of sewage sludge treatment processes on the removal of the endocrine disrupters nonylphenol ethoxylates

Several treatment processes of mixed sludge naturally contaminated with nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE) were compared in order to evaluate their efficiency for the removal of these endocrine disrupters. Anaerobic and aerobic treatments were carried out in continuous stirred tank reactors, operated separately or combined together, at mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures and with or without ozone post-treatment. Anaerobic mesophilic removal of NPE consisted of complete removal of nonylphenol diethoxylate, incomplete removal of nonylphenol monoethoxylate and non stoechiometric production of nonylphenol, with consequently a NPE removal of 25%. At thermophilic temperature, anaerobic digestion led to an increase of the total solids removal efficiency, while improving NPE degradation (30%). Under thermophilic aerobic condition, the three compounds were removed simultaneously with a NPE removal efficiency higher than under anaerobic condition (39%). This removal is always well correlated to the total solids removal meaning that bioavailability remains the main limiting factor. Combination of either thermophilic aerobic-mesophilic anaerobic or mesophilic anaerobic-ozonation treatments enhanced the NPE removal by comparison to single systems (45% and 48%, respectively). These results confirm the high potential of existing and up-grading sewage sludge treatments to degrade such refractory and aged compounds.
