Statistical optimization of operating parameters of microbial electrolysis cell treating dairy industry wastewater using quadratic model to enhance energy generation

The performance of Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is affected by several operating conditions. Therefore, in the present study, an optimization study was done to determine the working efficiency of MEC in terms of COD (chemical oxygen demand) removal, hydrogen and current generation. Optimization was carried out using a quadratic mathematical model of response surface methodology (RSM). Thirteen sets of experimental runs were performed to optimize the applied voltage and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of single chambered batch fed MEC operated with dairy industry wastewater. The operating conditions (i.e) an applied voltage of 0.8 V and HRT of 2 days that showed a maximum COD removal response was chosen for further studies. The MEC operated at optimized condition (HRT- 2 days and applied voltage- 0.8 V) showed a COD removal efficiency of 95 ± 2%, hydrogen generation of 32 ± 5 mL/L/d, Power density of 152 mW/cm² and current generation of 19 mA. The results of the study implied that RSM, with its high degree of accuracy can be a reliable tool for optimizing the process of wastewater treatment. Also, dairy industry wastewater can be considered to be a potential source to generate hydrogen and energy through MEC at short HRT.     

Improvement of gaseous bioenergy production from spent coffee grounds Co-digestion with pulp wastewater by physical/chemical pretreatments

Two steps of hydrolysis and anaerobic biogas production processes was investigated in this study. In the first step, subcritical water (SBW) hydrolysis and chemical (acid/alkali) pretreatments were carried out to enhance hydrolysis efficiency by obtaining and analyzing the total volatile fatty acids (TVFA), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total sugar productions from spent coffee grounds (SCG) hydrolysate. The subcritical water (SBW) hydrolysis under the condition of temperature 150 °C for 30 min can greatly improve the organic matter breakdown and reached the COD concentration of 1010 g/L which was 30% higher than the untreated raw SCG. For chemical pretreatments, it was found that the alkaline hydrolysis of SCG resulted in the greatest total sugar concentration of 181 g/L whereas the operation conditions were 2.0 M NaOH at 60 °C for 1 h. The peak of TVFA concentration 3725 mg/L was found at the acid hydrolysis of SCG with 1.0 M H₂SO₄ acid, 60 °C for 1 h. The optimal biomethane yield of 115 mL/g COD was obtained when 1.0 M H₂SO₄ acid hydrolysate co-digestion with pulp wastewater which increase methane yield production 8 times of raw pulp wastewater. The pretreatment process was confirmed in this study can significant improve the converting of the biowastes to bioenergy efficiency.

稠油油藏火驱前后储集层变化定量表征——以辽河油田高3-6-18井为例

火驱是稠油油藏继蒸汽吞吐后提高采收率的技术之一。储集层是决定火驱开发效果的根本因素,而温度是影响火驱储集层变化的主要因素。以辽河油田高3-6-18井为例,通过模拟实验,得到火驱过程中不同阶段的样品,分析了火驱前后储集层的变化,建立了研究区火驱过程中储集层变化模式。研究表明：结焦带的储集层物性较差,Fe（OH）₃沉淀物、CaCO₃沉淀物和沥青质沉积堵塞孔喉,长石向黏土矿物转化,同时生成大量的硅质胶结物,破坏了粒间孔与粒内溶孔,使孔隙度和渗透率降低,物性变差;燃烧带和已燃带的储集层物性较好,Fe（OH）₃和CaCO₃沉淀物分解、沥青质沉积的裂解,使孔喉增大,黏土矿物的烧结作用使高岭石向蒙脱石、伊利石转化,同时存在蒙脱石向伊利石的转化,使以黏土矿物为主的粒间填隙物发生不同程度的体积收缩,颗粒和填隙物之间产生裂缝,并随温度升高,裂缝会明显加宽,孔喉增大且连通性变好,孔隙度与渗透率升高。
