Abstract:

Thermal-alkaline pretreatment is an effective method to improve the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge. In order to reduce the cost of treatment process, the refinery spend caustic (RSC) was used instead of fresh alkalis, and the effects of thermal-RSC pretreatment on anaerobic digestion of refinery waste activated sludge (RWAS) were investigated. The results showed that thermal-alkaline pretreatment significantly promoted the solubilization of RWAS, and the concentrations of proteins, polysaccharides and volatile fatty acids (VFA) increased with temperature and RSC dosage increasing, which were 1338.7mg/L, 510.9mg/L and 651.2mg/L at 90℃ with 4% RSC, respectively. Person correlation analysis showed that RSC dosage was positively correlated with fluorescence intensity of humic acids and melanoid production, while had a significantly positive correlation with the stagnation period of anaerobic digestion, which resulted in an inhibition of RWAS anaerobic digestion within high RSC dosages. Eventually, the combination of high temperature and low alkali (90℃, 1%RSC) was preferred. Under this condition, the SCOD degradation rate and maximum VFA production of RWAS by anaerobic digestion were 66% and 736.2mg/L, respectively. The methane (95.3mL/g-VS) and hydrogen (11.5mL/g-VS) production increased 5-fold and 3-fold compared to untreated sludge. Therefore, RWAS anaerobic digestion using thermal-RSC pretreatment has high application potential.

摘要:

热-碱预处理是强化剩余活性污泥厌氧消化的有效手段。为降低处理成本,利用炼厂碱渣替代新鲜碱剂,研究了热-碱渣预处理对炼厂剩余活性污泥(refinery waste activated sludge,RWAS)厌氧消化的影响。结果表明,热-碱渣预处理显著促进了胞内有机物的释放,蛋白质、多糖和挥发性脂肪酸浓度随温度和碱渣剂量的提升而增加,在温度90℃和碱渣剂量4%的条件下,蛋白质、多糖和挥发性脂肪酸分别可达1338.7mg/L、510.9mg/L和651.2mg/L。Person相关性结果表明碱渣剂量对腐殖酸类物质荧光强度和类黑素产量呈正相关,与厌氧消化停滞期呈显著正相关,表明高碱渣剂量会抑制RWAS厌氧消化性能。因此,热-碱渣预处理的最佳工艺条件为温度90℃、碱渣剂量1%。该条件下预处理RWAS厌氧消化的溶解性化学需氧量(SCOD)降解率可达66%,最大产酸量为736.2mg/L,甲烷和氢气产量分别是未处理RWAS的5倍和3倍,分别达95.3mL/g-VS(VS为挥发性固体)和11.5mL/g-VS。综上所述,热-碱渣预处理炼厂剩余活性污泥具有较好的应用前景。
