The effect of microwave pretreatment on anaerobic co-digestion of sludge and food waste: Performance, kinetics and energy recovery.

Abstract:

:This paper studied the effect of microwave (MW) pretreatment on anaerobic co-digestion of sludge (SS) and food waste (FW). Using SS and FW as digestive substrates, the MW pretreatment method was used to determine the changes in the substrate matrix by means of batch anaerobic digestion at 37 °C. The kinetics of methane production were calculated, and the changes in organic matter during anaerobic co-digestion, the properties of the anaerobic-digested effluent, and the net energy output of the co-digestion system were determinated. The results showed that MW pretreatment was beneficial to the dissolution of organic matter, conversion of protein to NH4+-N, cumulative methane production, unit biomethane yield, and reaction rate of methane production in the SS and FW anaerobic co-digestion system. The highest cumulative methane production in the co-digestion system reached 3446.3 ± 172.3 mL (35 days), which was 19.93% higher than that of the control. Furthermore, MW pretreatment significantly increased the accumulation of VFAs and the content of butyric acid in the anaerobic-digested effluent, which was beneficial to the methanogenesis process. The MW pretreatment of all co-digested substrates produced a greater net energy output than the control, and the MW-SS + MW-FW group yielded the highest net energy output, which was 76.25 kJ/g Fed VS. The results indicated that MW pretreatment prior to SS and FW anaerobic co-digestion is an effective way to improve the anaerobic digestion efficiency and energy recovery rate.
