In this study, the feasibility of hydrogen production from alcohol distillery wastewater containing high potassium and sulfate was investigated using an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR). The seed sludge taken from an anaerobic tank treating the distillery wastewater was boiled for 15 min before being fed to the ASBR. The ASBR system was operated under different feed chemical oxygen demand (COD) values and different COD loading rates at a mesophilic temperature of 37 °C, a controlled pH at 5.5, and a cycle time of 6 cycles per day. When the studied ASBR was operated under the best conditions (providing a maximum hydrogen production efficiency) of a feed COD of 40,000 mg/l, a COD loading rate of 60 kg/m3 d, and a hydraulic retention time of 16 h, the produced gas was found to contain 34.7% H2 and 65.3% CO2, without any methane being detected. Under these best conditions, the specific hydrogen production rate (SHPR) of 270 ml H2/g MLVSS d (or 3310 ml H2/l d), and hydrogen yield of 172 ml H2/g COD removed, were obtained. When the feed COD exceeded 40,000 mg/l, the process performance in terms of hydrogen production decreased because of the potassium and sulfate toxicity. 相似文献

Continuous biological hydrogen production from sweet sorghum syrup by mixed cultures was investigated by using anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR). The ASBR was conducted based on the optimum condition obtained from batch experiment i.e. 25 g/L of total sugar concentration, 1.45 g/L of FeSO4 and pH of 5.0. Feasibility of continuous hydrogen fermentation in ASBR operation at room temperature (30 ± 3 °C) with different hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 96, 48, 24 and 12 hr and cycle periods consisting of filling (20 min), settling (20 min), and decanting (20 min) phases was analyzed. Results showed that hydrogen content decreased with a reduction in HRT i.e. from 42.93% (96 hr HRT) to 21.06% (12 hr HRT). Decrease in HRT resulted in a decrease of solvents produced which was from 10.77 to 2.67 mg/L for acetone and 78.25 mg/L to zero for butanol at HRT of 96 hr-12 hr, respectively. HRT of 24 hr was the optimum condition for ASBR operation indicated by the maximum hydrogen yield of 0.68 mol H2/mol hexose. The microbial determination in DGGE analysis indicated that the well-known hydrogen producers Clostridia species were dominant in the reacting step. The presence of Sporolactobacillus sp. which could excrete the bacteriocins causing the adverse effect on hydrogen-producing bacteria might responsible for the low hydrogen content obtained. 相似文献

pH is considered as one of the most important factors governing the hydrogen fermentation process. In this project, five pH levels, ranging from 4.4 to 5.6 at 0.3 increments, were tested to evaluate the pH effect on hydrogen production from swine manure supplemented with glucose in an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor system with 16 h of hydraulic retention time (HRT). The optimal hydrogen yield (1.50 mol H2/mol glucose) was achieved at pH 5.0 when the maximum production rate of 2.25 L/d/L was obtained. Continuous hydrogen production was achieved for over 3 weeks for pH 5.0, 4.7, and 4.4, with no significant methane produced. However, as pH increased to 5.3 and 5.6, methane production was observed in the biogas with concurrent reductions in hydrogen production, indicating that methanogens could become increasingly activated for pH 5.3 or higher. Acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate, and ethanol were the main aqueous products whose distribution was significantly affected by pH as well. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate hydrogen production from alcohol wastewater using an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) under thermophilic operation and at a constant pH of 5.5. Under the optimum COD loading rate of 68 kg/m3d, the produced gas contained 43% H2 without methane and the system provided a hydrogen yield and specific hydrogen production rate of 130 ml H2/g COD removed and 2100 ml H2/l d, respectively, which were much higher than those obtained under the mesophilic operation. Under thermophilic operation, both nitrogen and phosphate uptakes were minimal at the optimum COD loading rate for hydrogen production and most nitrogen uptake was derived from organic nitrogen. Under the thermophilic operation for hydrogen production, the nutrient requirement in terms of COD:N:P was found to be 100:6:0.5, which was much higher than that for the methenogenic step for methane production under both thermophilic and mesophilic operations and for the acidogenic step for hydrogen production under mesophilic operation. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the enhancement of hydrogen production from alcohol wastewater by adding fermentation residue using an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) under thermophillic operation (55 °C) and at a constant pH of 5.5. The digestibility of the added fermentation residue was also evaluated. For a first set of previous experiments, the ASBR system was operated to obtain an optimum COD loading rate of 50.6 kg/m3 d of alcohol wastewater without added fermentation residue and the produced gas contained 31% H2 and 69% CO2. In this experiment, the effect of added fermentation residue (100–1200 mg/l) on hydrogen production performance was investigated under a COD loading rate of 50.6 kg/m3 d of the alcohol wastewater. At a fermentation residue concentration of 1000 mg/l, the produced gas contained 40% H2 and 60% CO2 without methane and the system gave the highest hydrogen yield and specific hydrogen production rate of 128 ml/g COD removed and 2880 ml/l d, respectively. Under thermophilic operation with a high total COD loading rate (51.8 kg/m3 d) and a short HRT (21 h) at pH 5.5, the ASBR system could only break down cellulose (41.6%) and hemicellulose (21.8%), not decompose lignin. 相似文献

The basic aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of bioaugmentation strategy in the process of enhancing biohydrogen (H2) production from chemical wastewater treatment (organic loading rate (OLR)—6.3 kg COD/m3-day) in anaerobic sequencing batch biofilm reactor (AnSBBR) operated at room temperature (28±2 °C) under acidophilic microenvironment (pH 6) with a total cycle period of 24 h. Parent augmented inoculum (kanamycin resistant) was acquired from an operating upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor treating chemical wastewater and subjected to selective enrichment by applying repetitive/cyclic pre-treatment methods [altering between heat-shock treatment (100 °C; 2 h) and acid treatment (pH 3; 24 h)] to eliminate non-spore forming bacteria and to inhibit the growth of methanogenic bacteria (MB). Experimental data revealed the positive influence of bioaugmentation strategy on the overall H2 production. Specific H2 production almost doubled after augmentation from 0.297 to 0.483 mol H2/kg CODR-day. Chemical wastewater acted as primary carbon source in the metabolic reactions involving molecular H2 generation leading to substrate degradation. The augmented culture persisted in the system till the termination of the experiments. The survival and retention of the augmented inoculum and its positive effect on process enhancement may be attributed to the adopted reactor configuration and operating conditions. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images documented the selective enrichment of morphologically similar group of bacteria capable of producing H2 under acidophilic conditions in anaerobic microenvironment. This depicted work corroborated successful application of bioaugmentation strategy to improve H2 production rate from anaerobic chemical wastewater treatment. 相似文献

A novel photo-fermentative sequencing batch reactor (PFSBR) process assisted by activated carbon fibers (ACFs) was used to continuously produce hydrogen gas by Rhodopseudomonas faecalis RLD-53. Feasibility of continuous hydrogen production in PFSBR operation at different hydraulic retention times (HRTs) (48, 96, 144 and 192 h) and influent acetate concentrations (20, 40, 60 and 80 mmol/l) was investigated. The rate and yield of hydrogen production increased with HRTs from 48 to 144 h, and then decreased with the HRTs from 144 to 192 h. Regulation of the proper influent acetate concentration (60 mmol/l) not only increased hydrogen production by PFSBR, but also maintained quality of the effluent with high substrate removal efficiency (97.70%). Free R. faecalis RLD-53 was adsorbed on the surface of ACFs, initially isolated cells, then monolayer, and finally mature biofilm with three dimensional multilayers structures. The PFSBR reached a maximum hydrogen yield (3.12 mol H2/mol acetate), and achieved a steady state when mature biofilm developed on ACFs. Therefore, photo-fermentative sequencing batch reactor was a promising process for continuous photo-fermentative hydrogen production. 相似文献

In this work, hydrogen production from cassava wastewater using anaerobic sequencing batch reactors (ASBR) was investigated to determine the optimum number of cycles per day, chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading rate, and COD:N ratio. The system operated at a COD loading rate of 30 kg/m3d and 6 cycles per day provided maximum hydrogen production performance in terms of specific hydrogen production rate (SHPR) (388 ml H2/g VSS d or 3800 ml H2/l d) and hydrogen yield (186 ml H2/g COD removed). The effect of nitrogen supplementation was also studied by adding NH4HCO3 into the system at the COD:N ratios of 100:2.2, 100:3.3, and 100:4.4 under the COD loading rate of 30 kg/m3d and 6 cycles per day. The maximum SHPR and hydrogen yield of 524 ml H2/g VSS d (5680 ml H2/l d) and 438 ml H2/g COD removed, respectively, were obtained at the stoichiometric COD:N ratio of 100:2.2. An excess nitrogen was found to promote the productions of higher organic acids and ethanol, resulting in lowering hydrogen production efficiency. 相似文献

Liquid swine manure supplemented with glucose (10 g/L) was used as substrate for hydrogen production using an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor at 37 ± 1 °C and pH 5.0 under different hydraulic retention times (HRTs). Decreasing HRT from 24 to 8 h caused an increasing hydrogen production rate from 0.05 to 0.15 L/h/L. Production rates of both total biogas and hydrogen were linearly correlated to HRT with R2 being 0.993 and 0.997, respectively. The hydrogen yield ranged between 1.18 and 1.63 mol-H2/mol glucose and the 12 h HRT was preferred for high production rate and efficient yield. For all the five HRTs examined, the glucose utilization efficiency was over 98%. The biogas mainly consisted of carbon dioxide and hydrogen (up to 43%) with no methane detected throughout the experiment. Ethanol and organic acids were the major aqueous metabolites produced during fermentation, with acetic acid accounting for 56–58%. The hydrogen yield was found to be related to the acetate/butyrate ratio. 相似文献

The performances of anaerobic sequencing batch reactors fed with two different substrates were studied. The substrates were raw acid whey and acid whey fermented with Kluyveromyces lactis in order to investigate the suitability of ethanol for biogas production. The organic loading rates (OLRs) during the experiment ranged from 1.6 to 12.8 g COD dm−3 d−1 and the corresponding decreasing hydraulic retention times from 40 to 5 days for both reactor systems. The efficiency of each system depended on the OLR: the highest COD removal rate was observed at the lowest OLR applied (about 100% in both systems), and at maximum OLR the COD removal efficiency was 68% for the reactors fed with the raw whey and 80% for those fed with the pre-fermented whey. Under the same high OLR conditions the methane yield was 0.122 dm−3 CH4 g−1 CODdegraded for the anaerobic digesters fed with the untreated whey, and 0.197 dm−3 CH4 g−1 CODdegraded for those fed with the pre-fermented whey. The digesters functioned without pH control. At the maximum OLR the pH in the reactors fed with the raw acid whey was 5.1, while in those fed with the pre-fermented whey it was 7.15.The results demonstrate that the use of the pre-fermented acid whey as substrate for anaerobic digestion without pH control is feasible, especially at high OLR levels. This substrate is preferable to the raw acid whey, because of the ethanol formed as a non-acidic fermentation product of the yeast. 相似文献

Anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) process offers great potential for H2 production from wastewaters. In this study, an ASBR was used at first time for enhanced continuous H2 production from fungal pretreated cornstalk hydrolysate by Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum W16. The reactor was operated at different hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 6, 12, 18, and 24 h by keeping the influent hydrolysate constant at 65 mmol sugars L−1. Results showed that increasing the HRT from 6 to 12 h led to the H2 production rate increased from 6.7 to the maximum of 9.6 mmol H2 L−1 h−1 and the substrate conversion reached 90.3%, although the H2 yield remained at the same level of 1.7 mol H2 mol−1 substrate. Taking into account both H2 production and substrate utilization efficiencies, the optimum HRT for continuous H2 production via an ASBR was determined at 12 h. Compared with other continuous H2 production processes, ASBR yield higher H2 production at relatively lower HRT. ASBR is shown to be another promising process for continuous fermentative H2 production from lignocellulosic biomass. 相似文献

This study evaluated hydrogen production in an anaerobic fluidized bed reactor (AFBR) fed with glucose-based synthetic wastewater. Particles of expanded clay (2.8–3.35 mm) were used as a support material for biomass immobilization. The reactor was operated with hydraulic retention times (HRT) ranging from 8 to 1 h. The hydrogen yield production increased from 1.41 to 2.49 mol H2 mol−1 glucose as HRT decreased from 8 to 2 h. However, when HRT was 1 h, there was a slight decrease to 2.41 mol H2 mol−1 glucose. The biogas produced was composed of H2 and CO2, and the H2 content increased from 8% to 35% as HRT decreased. The major soluble metabolites during H2 fermentation were acetic acid (HAc) and butyric acid (HBu), accounting for 36.1–53.3% and 37.7–44.9% of total soluble metabolites, respectively. Overall, the results demonstrate the potential of using expanded clay as support material for hydrogen production in AFBRs. 相似文献

A series of batch experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of pH and glucose concentrations on biological hydrogen production by using the natural sludge obtained from the bed of a local river as inoculant. Batch experiments numbered series I and II were designed at an initial and constant pH of 5.0–7.0 with 1.0 increment and four different glucose concentrations (5.0, 7.5, 10 and 20 g glucose/L). The results showed that the optimal condition for anaerobic fermentative hydrogen production is 7.5 g glucose/L and constant pH 6.0 with a maximum H2 production rate of 0.22 mol H2 mol−1 glucose h−1, a cumulative H2 yield of 1.83 mol H2 mol−1 glucose and a H2 percentage of 63 in biogas. 相似文献

This paper reports on results obtained from experiments carried out in an acidogenic anaerobic reactor aiming at the optimization of hydrogen production by altering the degree of back-mixing. It was hypothesized that there is an optimum operating point that maximizes the hydrogen yield. Experiments were performed in a packed-bed bioreactor by covering a broad range of recycle ratios (R) and the optimum point was obtained for an R value of 0.6. In this operating condition the reactor behaved as 8 continuous stirred-tank reactors in series and the maximum yield was 4.22 mol H2 mol sucrose−1. Such optimum point was estimated by deriving a polynomial function fitted to experimental data and it was obtained as the conjugation of three factors related to the various degrees of back-mixing applied to the reactor: mass transfer from the bulk liquid to the biocatalyst, liquid-to-gas mass transfer and the kinetic behavior of irreversible reactions in series. 相似文献

Hydrogen (H2) production from cheese processing wastewater via dark anaerobic fermentation was conducted using mixed microbial communities under thermophilic conditions. The effects of varying hydraulic retention time (HRT: 1, 2 and 3.5 days) and especially high organic load rates (OLR: 21, 35 and 47 g chemical oxygen demand (COD)/l/day) on biohydrogen production in a continuous stirred tank reactor were investigated. The biogas contained 5–82% (45% on average) hydrogen and the hydrogen production rate ranged from 0.3 to 7.9 l H2/l/day (2.5 l/l/day on average). H2 yields of 22, 15 and 5 mmol/g COD (at a constant influent COD of 40 g/l) were achieved at HRT values of 3.5, 2, and 1 days, respectively. On the other hand, H2 yields were monitored to be 3, 9 and 6 mmol/g COD, for OLR values of 47, 35 and 21 g COD/l/day, when HRT was kept constant at 1 day. The total measurable volatile fatty acid concentration in the effluent (as a function of influent COD) ranged between 118 and 27,012 mg/l, which was mainly composed of acetic acid, iso-butyric acid, butyric acid, propionic acid, formate and lactate. Ethanol and acetone production was also monitored from time to time.To characterize the microbial community in the bioreactor at different HRTs, DNA in mixed liquor samples was extracted immediately for PCR amplification of 16S RNA gene using eubacterial primers corresponding to 8F and 518R. The PCR product was cloned and subjected to DNA sequencing. The sequencing results were analyzed by using MegaBlast available on NCBI website which showed 99% identity to uncultured Thermoanaerobacteriaceae bacterium. 相似文献

The feasibility of hydrogen generation from palm oil mill effluent (POME), a high strength wastewater with high solid content, was evaluated in an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) using enriched mixed microflora, under mesophilic digestion process at 37 °C. Four different hydraulic retention times (HRT), ranging from 96 h to 36 h at constant cycle length of 24 h and various organic loading rate (OLR) concentrations were tested to evaluate hydrogen productivity and operational stability of ASBR. The results showed higher system efficiency was achieved at HRT of 72 h with maximum hydrogen production rate of 6.7 LH2/L/d and hydrogen yield of 0.34 LH2/g CODfeeding, while in longer and shorter HRTs, hydrogen productivity decreased. Organic matter removal efficiency was affected by HRT; accordingly, total and soluble COD removal reached more than 37% and 50%, respectively. Solid retention time (SRT) of 4-19 days was achieved at these wide ranges of HRTs. Butyrate was found to be the dominant metabolite in all HRTs. Low concentration of volatile fatty acid (VFA) confirmed the state of stability and efficiency of sequential batch mode operation was achieved in ASBR. Results also suggest that ASBR has the potential to offer high digestion rate and good stability of operation for POME treatment. 相似文献

The effects of varying sulfate concentrations with pH on continuous fermentative hydrogen production were studied using anaerobic mixed cultures growing on a glucose substrate in a chemostat reactor. The maximum hydrogen production rate was 2.8 L/day at pH 5.5 and sulfate concentration of 3000 mg/L. Hydrogen production and residual sulfate level decreased with increasing the pH from 5.5 to 6.2. The volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and ethanol fractions in the effluent were in the order of butyric acid (HBu) > acetic acid (HAc) > ethanol > propionic acid (HPr). Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) analysis revealed the presence of hydrogen producing bacteria (HPB) under all pH ranges while sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) were present at pH 5.8 and 6.2. The inhibition in hydrogen production by SRB at pH 6.2 diminished entirely by lowering to pH 5.5, at which activity of SRB is substantially suppressed. 相似文献

In this study, a new process was proposed to enhance the stability and efficiency of an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR). The process was examined in a four equal compartments ABR with total volume of 3.46 L. The first compartment was operated for fermentative hydrogen production and the last three compartments were used as continuous singer chamber microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) for methanogenesis. The system was operated at 35 ± 1 °C and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 24 h with influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration of 3500 mg/L–4000 mg/L. The results indicated that the proportion of hydrogen in the first compartment was 20.7% and proportions of methane in the last three compartments were 98.0%, 93.6% and 70.1%, respectively. A total of 98.0% of COD removal rate was achieved as well. Hence, this new system has following advantages: hydrogen production with cleaner effluent, high COD removal rate, and net methane production for practical use. 相似文献
