Anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste: influence of co-digestion with manure 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) was investigated in two thermophilic (55 degrees C) wet digestion treatment systems R1 and R2. Initially OFMSW was co-digested with manure with a successively higher concentration of OFMSW, at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 14-18 d and an organic loading rate (OLR) of 3.3-4.0 g-VS/l/d. Adaptation of the co-digestion process to a OFMSW:manure ratio of 50% (VS/VS) was established over a period of 6 weeks. This co-digestion ratio was maintained in reactor R2 while the ratio of OFMSW to manure was slowly increased to 100% in reactor R1 over a period of 8 weeks. Use of recirculated process liquid to adjust the organic loading to R1 was found to have a beneficial stabilization effect. The pH rose to a value of 8 and the reactor showed stable performance with high biogas yield and low VFA levels. The biogas yield from source-sorted OFMSW was 0.63-0.71 l/g-VS both in the co-digestion configuration and in the treatment of 100% OFMSW with process liquid recirculation. This yield is corresponding to 180-220 m3 biogas per ton OFMSW. VS reduction of 69-74% was achieved when treating 100% OFMSW. None of the processes showed signs of inhibition at the free ammonia concentration of 0.45-0.62 g-N/l. 相似文献

In sandy regions of the Netherlands, current agricultural practices result in high nitrate concentrations in the upper groundwater, endangering water resources. A methodology to estimate costs of region specific solutions is applied to a groundwater protection area. It requires that for existing farms in the region variants of management are described that differ in nitrogen surplus. Costs of variants relate to investments and losses in income due to changes in farm management additional to those required by existing legislation. The expected nitrate concentration for each combination of variant and groundwater class is calculated from nitrogen and precipitation surplus and a leaching fraction. A linear programming model indicates the optimal spatial allocation of variants such that desired regional and sub-regional nitrate concentrations are reached at minimum regional costs. In the case study, current land use is grouped into non-dairy farms and various types of dairy farms and non-agricultural land use. Management variants are described for most of these groups. The LP model was used to analyze the effect of the following conditions: (a) the scale at which the tolerated maximum NO3 concentration is effectuated; (b) the level of this maximum; (c) the hydrological situation; (d) the way farms are grouped; and (e) the biophysical situation of farms. Total regional costs show a negative, but not necessarily linear, relation with the resulting regional nitrate concentration. This relation is strongly influenced by the actual situation regarding management at the farms and the groundwater table depths in the region. For each region a specific cost–benefit relation might apply. Higher groundwater tables result in strongly reduced costs for required changes in farm management. Depending on costs and physical feasibility, measures that result in a higher groundwater table could therefore be used in addition to or replacement of measures at farm level. Calculated costs are influenced by the method of grouping of farms into farm types, the largest effect due to differentiating intensities of production. Differences between farms need therefore be considered when analyzing possibilities for and costs of measures to reduce nitrate leaching. Political decisions, specifically about the scale at which the maximum nitrate level should be effectuated (farm-type or region) also have a strong effect on the cost–benefit relation. Requiring all farm types to comply with a given maximum nitrate concentration, resulting in a specific regional average, is more costly than setting a similar regional maximum and allowing regional averaging. Methodology and preliminary results were discussed with policy-makers and representatives of farmers, environmentalists and groundwater extracting companies. They felt that these discussions helped focussing the interaction between the various groups of stakeholders. This is due to the fact that assumptions about effects of changes in land use and costs involved are made explicit and to the possibility of a more objective weighing of interests since wishes and conditions are translated into goals and constraints of the linear programming model. 相似文献

Promiscuous soyabean varieties have potential to contribute significantly to income generation, food security and soil N budgets
on smallholder farms. One of the major factors limiting this potential is farmers’ preference to allocate nutrient resources
to food security cereal crops on the most fertile fields, leaving grain legumes to grow on residual fertility on infertile
fields. Two experiments were conducted to: (i) compare the current farmer practice with targeting manure and single super
phosphate (SSP) to soyabean in a three-year rotation cycle on two fields with different soil fertility: an infertile sandy
soil and a more fertile clay soil; and (ii) assess the effects of variability of soil fertility within and across farms on
productivity of soyabean and groundnut. In the first experiment, soyabean (<0.2 t ha−1) and maize yields (<0.7 t ha−1) without fertilizer were poor on a degraded sandy soil. Both crops responded poorly to SSP due to deficiency of other nutrients.
Manure application significantly increased soyabean and maize yields, led to yield stabilization over three seasons and also
significantly increased the proportion of N2 fixed by soyabean (measured using 15N natural abundance) from 60% to 83%. On the sandy soil, P was used more efficiently and gross margins were greater when SSP
and manure were applied to maize in a maize–soyabean rotation. Soyabean and maize yields without fertilizer inputs were larger
on clay soil with moderate fertility (0.4–0.7 t ha−1 and 2.0–2.3 t ha−1 respectively) and were significantly increased by application of SSP and manure. Within rotations, P recovery was higher
when manure and SSP were applied to maize (43 and 25%) than when applied to soyabean (20 and 19%). However, application of
manure to soyabean on the clay was more profitable than application to maize for individual crops and within rotations. In
the second experiment, soyabean and groundnut yields were largest (∼1 and ∼0.8 t ha−1 respectively) on plots closest to homesteads on wealthy farms, which were more fertile due to good past management. Yields
were poor (< 0.5 t ha−1) on other fields which previously had received little nutrient inputs. Soyabean and groundnut yields correlated well with
available P (R
2 = 0.5–0.7) and soil organic C (SOC) contents (R
2 = 0.4–0.6). For smallholder farmers to maximise benefits from legume production they need to focus attention on the more
fertile plots, although production should be optimized in relation to maize. Targeting nutrients to maize as currently practiced
by farmers was more efficient and economic under poor soil fertility conditions, whilst potential exists to increase income
by targeting manure to soyabean on the more fertile soils. 相似文献

利用田间定位试验,研究了长期施用有机肥和化肥对黑土团聚化作用及碳、氮含量的影响。团聚体分级结果表明,小团聚体是土壤的主要组成部分,占土壤重量的48.86%~60.24%。长期施用有机肥可显著增加土壤中大团聚体的比例,提高土壤团聚体的稳定性;而化肥的施用则增加了土壤中微团聚体和粉 黏粒的含量,降低土壤团聚体的稳定性。施用有机肥能显著增加土壤有机碳和总氮的含量,而化肥只有与有机肥配施时才能显著增加土壤有机碳和总氮的含量。有机肥的施用能够降低土壤C/N,表明有机肥的施用更有利于土壤氮素水平的提高。 相似文献

Intensification of crop production in the mid-hills of Nepal has led to concerns that nitrogen loss by leaching may increase. This study estimated the amount of N leached during two years from rainfed terraces (bari-land) at three locations in Nepal. Maize or upland rice grown in the monsoon season was given either no nutrient inputs or inputs via either nitrogen fertilizer or farmyard manure. Nitrate concentration in soil solution was measured regularly with porous ceramic cup samplers and drainage estimated from a simple soil water balance. Estimated losses of nitrogen by leaching ranged from 0 to 63.5 kg N ha–1 depending on location and the form of nitrogen applied. Losses from plots receiving no nutrient inputs were generally small (range: 0–35 kg N ha–1) and losses from plots where nitrogen was applied as manure (range: 2–41 kg N ha–1) were typically half those from plots with nitrogen applied as fertilizer. Losses during the post-monsoon crops of finger millet were small (typically <5% of total loss) although losses from the one site with blackgram were larger (about 13%). The highest concentrations of nitrate in solution were measured early in the season as the monsoon rains began and immediately following fertilizer applications. Leaching losses are likely to be minimised if manure is applied as a basal nutrient dressing followed by fertilizer nitrogen later in the season. 相似文献

Concentrated animal feeding operations, such as cattle feedlots and dairies, produce a large amount of manure, cattle biomass (CB), which can be included as renewable feedstock for locally based gasification for syngas (CO and H2) production and subsequent use in power generation. Experimental results on effects of bed temperature and gas composition on the higher heating value (HHV) and energy recovery are presented for dairy biomass (DB) gasification using air and air–steam as oxidizers. Some experimental data are compared with adiabatic gasification modeling which includes atom balance conservation for assumed product species and chemical equilibrium analysis. Wyoming sub-bituminous coal (WYC) and Texas Lignite coal (TXL) are used as standard fuels for comparison purposes in modeling studies. Two main parameters are investigated in this study. One is the modified equivalence ratio (ERM) defined as the ratio of stochiometric oxygen to total oxygen supplied in the oxidizing mixture of air and steam. The second is a measure of how much steam is in the oxidizer and is called the air steam ratio (ASTR), which is defined as the ratio of oxygen supplied in the air to the total oxygen supplied in the oxidizer. The results suggested that gasification of CB and coals under higher ERM yield elevated concentrations of CO and CH4, and low percentages of H2 and CO2, while higher ASTRs (less steam) produced mixtures poor in H2, CO2, and CH4 and rich in CO with lower HHV. It was also found that FB and DB produced higher amounts of H2 than WYC and TXL under the same ERM and ASTR. 相似文献

Biogas production is one of the number of tools that may be used to alleviate the problems of global warming, energy security and waste management. Biogas plants can be difficult to sustain from a financial perspective. The facilities must be financially optimized through use of substrates with high biogas potential, low water content and low retention requirement. This research carried out in laboratory scale batch digesters assessed the biogas potential of energy crops (maize and grass silage) and solid manure fractions from manure separation units. The ultimate methane productivity in terms of volatile solids (VS) was determined as 330, 161, 230, 236, 361 L/kg VS from raw pig slurry, filter pressed manure fiber (FPMF), chemically precipitated manure fiber (CPMF), maize silage and grass silage respectively. Methane productivity based on mass (L/kg substrate) was significantly higher in FPMF (55 L/kg substrate), maize silage (68 L/kg substrate) and grass silage (45–124 L/kg substrate (depending on dry solids of feedstock)) as in comparison to raw pig slurry (10 L/kg substrate). The use of these materials as co-substrates with raw pig slurry will increase significantly the biomethane yield per unit feedstock in the biogas plant. 相似文献

Multiple demands are placed on farming systems today. Society, national legislation and market forces seek what could be seen as conflicting outcomes from our agricultural systems, e.g. food quality, affordable prices, a healthy environmental, consideration of animal welfare, biodiversity etc., Many of these demands, or desirable outcomes, are interrelated, so reaching one goal may often compromise another and, importantly, pose a risk to the economic viability of the farm.SIMSDAIRY, a farm-scale model, was used to explore this complexity for dairy farm systems. SIMSDAIRY integrates existing approaches to simulate the effect of interactions between farm management, climate and soil characteristics on losses of nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon. The effects on farm profitability and attributes of biodiversity, milk quality, soil quality and animal welfare are also included. SIMSDAIRY can also be used to optimise fertiliser N.In this paper we discuss some limitations and strengths of using SIMSDAIRY compared to other modelling approaches and propose some potential improvements. Using the model we evaluated the sustainability of organic dairy systems compared with conventional dairy farms under non-optimised and optimised fertiliser N use. Model outputs showed for example, that organic dairy systems based on grass-clover swards and maize silage resulted in much smaller total GHG emissions per l of milk and slightly smaller losses of NO3 leaching and NOx emissions per l of milk compared with the grassland/maize-based conventional systems. These differences were essentially because the conventional systems rely on indirect energy use for ‘fixing’ N compared with biological N fixation for the organic systems. SIMSDAIRY runs also showed some other potential benefits from the organic systems compared with conventional systems in terms of financial performance and soil quality and biodiversity scores. Optimisation of fertiliser N timings and rates showed a considerable scope to reduce the (GHG emissions per l milk too). 相似文献

To evaluate on a laboratory scale the influence of veterinary medicinal products (VMPs) excreted into feces on manure fermentation, we have developed an evaluation method that uses a small-scale composting apparatus. Each run is of approximately 3 kg scale and the operation can be conducted in an environmentally controlled laboratory. The main evaluation parameter is calorific value generated by aerobic fermentation. At the sulfadimethoxine (SDM) trial, the volume of CO(2) generated during fermentation and the disappearance of the inhibitory effect of immature manure on sprouting (using Komatsuna (Brassica rapa var. perviridis)) were measured. In addition, DNA of 16S rRNA was extracted from a manure sample and subjected to denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The results suggest that the presence of such VMPs in feces affected the microbial community in manure fermentation, and indicate that the evaluation method may be used as a standard method to evaluate the effect of VMPs on the microbial community. Using the method, we obtained data of the influence of five VMPs approved for stockbreeding in Japan on swine manure fermentation. Erythromycin (EM) affected the calorific value even at a relatively low concentration (105 mg/3 kg manure). In contrast, oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC), norfloxacin (NFLX), and tylosin tartrate (TS) had no effect at that concentration. These VMPs also affected the increase of fermentation temperature when added at high concentrations. 相似文献
