Effect of hydraulic retention time on a continuous biohydrogen production in a packed bed biofilm reactor with recirculation flow of the liquid phase

The present paper reports on results obtained from experiments carried out in a laboratory-scale anaerobic packed bed biofilm reactor (APBR), with recirculation of the liquid phase, for continuously biohydrogen production via dark fermentation. The reactor was filled with Kaldnes^® biofilm carrier and inoculated with an anaerobic mesophilic sludge from a urban wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The APBR was operated at a temperature of 37 °C, without pH buffering. The effect of theoretical hydraulic retention time (HRT) from 1 to 5 h on hydrogen yield (HY), hydrogen production rate (HPR), substrate conversion and metabolic pathways was investigated. This study indicates the possibility of enhancing hydrogen production by using APBR with recirculation flow. Among respondents values of HRT the highest average values of HY (2.35 mol H₂/mol substrate) and HPR (0.085 L h^?1L^?1) have been obtained at HRT equal to 2 h.

Paper mill sludge as a renewable substrate for the production of acetone-butanol-ethanol using Clostridium sporogenes NCIM 2337

In the present study, pre-treated paper mill sludge (PMS) was evaluated extensively as a substrate for production of acetone-butanol-ethanol using Clostridium sporogenes NCIM 2337. The PMS was subjected to three types of pre-treatment methods namely alkali, mechanical, and thermal treatment and was analyzed by SEM. The pre-treatment of PMS by alkali was observed to be more effective over the other pre-treatment methods. The alkali pre-treated sludge was then made to undergo fermentation, which showed the conventional process of acidogenesis followed by solventogenesis. The acetone, butanol, and ethanol concentration for 15% alkali pre-treated PMS was estimated to be maximum.     

Study on migration characteristics of heavy metals during oil sludge incineration

Experimental and simulation studies on the migration characteristics of heavy metals during the incineration of OS were conducted with a tube furnace reactor and thermodynamic equilibrium calculation software FactSage, respectively. The results showed that when the incineration temperature increased from 800°C to 1100°C, the release rates of heavy metals such as Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn and Ni increased gradually and reached the maximum at 1000°C. When the excess air ratio increased from 1.0 to 1.4, the release rates of heavy metals such as Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn and Ni first decreased and then became steady. The content of gaseous hydroxide of Cr and gaseous chlorides of Pb and Cu increased while the chemical forms of Zn and Ni did not change obviously with the increase of combustion temperature or excess air ratio.     

污泥生物炭中氮硫行为及环境效应研究进展

污泥生物炭中氮硫元素含量高，其氮硫行为和环境效应对全球气候变化的影响不容忽视。以往的研究中，研究者往往以富碳生物炭作为主要研究对象，关注碳对全球气候变化的行为和功效，而对氮硫元素的作用关注不够。本文从原始污泥基本性质到其热解过程，再到生物炭的老化，逐步对污泥生物炭整个生命周期内氮硫的行为及其环境效应研究进行综述，并对未来应注重开展的研究方向进行展望，为生物炭中氮硫元素固定、释放及与之关联的环境效应和温室气体排放控制研究提供理论基础。分析表明，污泥中氮元素含量普遍高于硫元素，且热解过程中氮比硫更容易转移至气相产物。氮硫元素随热解温度的增加，在三相产物中的分配都是炭中持续减少，油中先增后减，气中一直增加。高温（＞800℃）条件下，气相中的氮含量高于固相，而硫元素则仍然主要存在于固相中。污泥生物炭老化及其环境效应研究表明，污泥生物炭氮硫元素与土壤的相互作用及其温室效应问题在今后的研究中应引起重视。

基于钙基吸附剂的污泥蒸汽气化制取富氢合成气是一种高效环保的污泥处理方式。本文采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了Co改性、Al₂O₃为载体的钙基吸附剂。借助热重分析仪测定不同钙基吸附剂在多个碳酸化和煅烧循环中的CO₂吸附能力和循环稳定性，并在固定床上进行污泥蒸汽气化实验。结果显示：煅烧过程中，以Al₂O₃为载体的钙基吸附剂中的Al₂O₃与CaO生成七铝酸十二钙(Ca₁₂Al₁₄O₃₃)，并表现出优异的孔隙结构的和CO₂吸附能力，其中，Co质量分数为10%的吸附剂在30次循环（700℃碳酸化35min，850℃煅烧5min）中碳酸化率稳定在70%左右；提高气化温度及Co的添加量可促进焦油裂解和甲烷重整反应，显著提高了合成气中H₂的浓度和产量及污泥气化的冷煤气效率，有利于富氢气体的制取；在650℃下，相比于纯CaO，添加Co质量分数为15%的吸附剂时，H₂产量提高了102%，H₂体积分数提高到85%。     

粒径对好氧颗粒污泥储存稳定性的影响

研究了混合粒径与不同粒径好氧颗粒污泥（AGS）在储存过程中的三维结构、质量变化、微生物活性以及理化特性的变化规律。经过室温（16~25℃）下31天的储存，污泥的三维结构均保持较好，未出现明显解体现象。混合粒径的AGS在储存前20天，其质量和比耗氧速率（SOUR）下降缓慢，胞外聚合物（EPS）先减小后上升。20天之后由于厌氧菌在竞争中逐渐占得优势，其质量减小了46.3%，EPS与SOUR分别下降69.0%和72.7%，导致稳定性随之下降。不同粒径AGS经过储存后，其颜色仍为橙黄色且结构完整；1~2mm和3~4mm粒径的AGS质量减小（分别为49.1%和53.9%）较大，且SOUR和EPS下降了亦较大；0.3~1mm粒径的AGS质量减小较少，EPS下降较少，但SOUR下降幅度较大，而2~3mm粒径的质量仅减小了33.7%、SOUR下降幅度最小（39.8%），EPS下降幅度也相对较小（58.7%），表明其在储存过程中能保持较好的活性与稳定性。
