Differential Effect of Anaerobic Digestion on Gaseous Products from Sequential Pyrolysis of Three Organic Solid Wastes.

ABSTRACT: Studies have shown that anaerobic digestion (AD) has an effect on the liquid and solid product property of sequential pyrolysis, but its influence on the gaseous products is lacking. In this study, syngas produced by pyrolysis from three raw organic solid wastes and the corresponding digestates, i.e., food waste, vinasse, and cow manure were investigated. AD causes a decrease in the contents of volatile solid, fixed carbon, C, H, and N and an increase in the S content. The weight loss of the wastes mainly occurs at 200-550 °C during the pyrolysis and the loss of the food waste and vinasse is higher than that of cow manure. In the carbon (C)-containing gas, AD leads to a decrease in the CH₄ content of the syngas, implying that the heat values of the digestates are lower than that of the raw substrates. After AD, the total amount of nitrogen (N)-containing gas from the vinasse increases by 40.1%, while that from cow manure decreases by 14.1%. On the contrary, the total amount of sulfur (S)-containing groups in the syngas from vinasse drop by 22.0%, while that from cow manure increases by 9.1%. In addition, slight changes in the C-, N-, and S-containing gases are found from food waste. The results indicate that AD has a different effect on the N- and S- containing gaseous groups from different organic solid wastes, and the mechanisms deserve further investigation. The findings supply a theoretical foundation for environmental-friendly application of syngas from the digestates.

Data of metal and microbial analyses from anaerobic co-digestion of organic and mineral wastes.

Project description:High concentrations of minerals, heavy metals are often found in mineral wastes (MWs) originated from municipal solid waste incineration plants, so as construction/demolition sites. Such by-products (minerals) often have buffering capacity. The current work provides analysis of total and soluble (dissolved) metal concentrations released by four different MWs (a. cement-based waste, b. incineration (bottom), c. fly and d. boiler ash) supplemented to anaerobic reactors of organic waste at 37 °C. The reactors (continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR)) were ran for 75 days at hydrolytic retention time of 20 days. Genomic DNA extraction, and qPCR and Illumina HiSeq (16S V4) analyses were conducted to investigate microbial community population and composition in anaerobic digestate samples collected from these reactors. Output data from Illumina sequencing analysis were FastQ files analysed using the QIIME2 pipeline to produce a feature table listing the frequency of each assigned microbial taxa per samples. Additional study was conducted on the microbial data to visualise variations in microbial communities using the STAMP software and phyloseq R package. Detailed interpretation and discussion of the results can be found in the related research article [1].

Value Proposition of Untapped Wet Wastes: Carboxylic Acid Production through Anaerobic Digestion.

Project description:Although traditional anaerobic digestion (AD) process to produce methane-rich biogas from wet waste is deep-rooted, high carbon footprint and its low value as compared with other renewable sources demand advanced strategies to avoid its production. An emerging conversion pathway to arrest methanogenesis for producing value-added fuels and chemicals instead of biogas is sought as a sustainable alternative. This research provides a comprehensive analysis on current technology development, process challenges, applications, and economics for producing high-value short-chain carboxylic acids from AD of wet wastes. We show that (1) the theoretical energy yields of acids equal or exceed biogas, and (2) the cost of these acids is competitive with those produced from chemical markets, making this economically viable for mass production. With global abundance of wet waste feedstocks, this process of short-chain acid production provides a promising alternative to conventional biogas production technology, while achieving waste management and carbon mitigation goals.

Evaluation of the methanogenic potential of anaerobic digestion of agro-industrial wastes

Project description:Waste management technologies have become a way to generate value-added products. Anaerobic digestion (AD) allows biogas generation by treating organic wastes. In this work, the methanogenic potentials of anaerobic digestion of rumen and chicken manure, two typical agro-industrial wastes from the Colombian Caribbean region, were evaluated. On a first stage, the effect of temperature on anaerobic digestion of manure inoculated with liquid rumen was measured. Results revealed that the thermophilic digestion produces more biogas (up to 47% higher than the mesophilic digestion), but the mesophilic digestion has better biogas quality (up to 20% more methane than the thermophilic digestion). On the second experimental stage, it was assessed the effect of temperature regimen and the addition of fat-oil-grease (FOG) on cumulative biogas production, methane percentage, and physicochemical parameters. It was found that the anaerobic digestion of the rumen with FOG in mesophilic conditions had the best performance in terms of quantity and quality of biogas (2520 NL CH4/kg VS, CH4 93%, H2S 1 mg/L, H2O 16 mg/L). Finally, rumen and manure had methane concentrations above 40% in all cases studied, after 60 days of anaerobic digestion. It was concluded that rumen and manure are good candidates for biogas generation.

Effects of waste sources on performance of anaerobic co-digestion of complex organic wastes: taking food waste as an example.

Project description:Few studies have addressed how to blend wastes for anaerobic co-digestion. This study investigated the effects of waste sources on anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) performance, by varying the quality of food wastes (FWs) from six sources in Xi'an region, China that were individually co-digested with pre-treated corn straw and cattle manure. These effects were analysed in terms of their volatile solid (VS) ratios, C/N ratios, and the chemical composition of the FWs. The results indicated that the VS ratios were not suitable as a common mixture method because the VS ratios at which the best methane potentials occurred differed significantly among the six FW groups. The C/N ratios within a 17-24 range resulted in better methane potentials when the FWs were co-digested with other wastes. Synergistic effects were found among the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids of the FWs; however, the optimum ratios of these components could not be determined. Thus, the C/N ratio is recommended as a mixture method when co-digesting FWs with other organic wastes in selected region.

Environmental Performance in the Production and Use of Recovered Fertilizers from Organic Wastes Treated by Anaerobic Digestion vs Synthetic Mineral Fertilizers.

Project description:Recovered fertilizers (RFs), in the form of digestate and digestate-derived ammonium sulfate, were produced from organic wastes by thermophilic anaerobic digestion (AD) at full scale. RFs were then used for crop production (maize), substituting synthetic mineral fertilizers (SFs). Environmental impacts due to both RF and SF production and use were studied by a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach using, as much as possible, data directly measured at full scale. The functional unit chosen was referred to as the fertilization of 1 ha of maize, as this paper intends to investigate the impacts of the use of RF (Scenario RF) for crop fertilization compared to that of SF (Scenario SF). Scenario RF showed better environmental performances than the system encompassing the production and use of urea and synthetic fertilizers (Scenario SF). In particular, for the Scenario RF, 11 of the 18 categories showed a lower impact than the Scenario SF, and 3 of the categories (ionizing radiation, fossil resource scarcity, and water consumption) showed net negative impacts in Scenario RF, getting the benefits from the credit for renewable energy production by AD. The LCA approach also allowed proposing precautions able to reduce further fertilizer impacts, resulting in total negative impacts in using RF for crop production. Anaerobic digestion represents the key to propose a sustainable approach in producing renewable fertilizers, thanks to both energy production and the modification that occurs to waste during a biological process, leaving a substrate (digestate) with high amending and fertilizing properties.

Continuous Anaerobic Digestion of Wood Vinegar Wastewater From Pyrolysis: Microbial Diversity and Functional Genes Prediction.

Project description:Wood vinegar wastewater (WVWW) is the main by-product of biomass pyrolysis process, which is more suitable to use anaerobic digestion (AD) to achieve energy recovery due to its large amount of organic matter. In this study, the up-flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactor was used to investigate the continuous anaerobic transformation of WVWW with gradient concentrations (0.3, 0.675, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 g COD/L). Then, the changes of microbial community, diversity index and functional gene were analyzed in detail. The results revealed that WVWW showed good AD performance in continuous fermentation. WVWW of organic loading rate (OLR) of >8.58 g COD/L⋅d showed severe inhibition on biodegradability and methane production, which is mainly due to the toxic substances as compared with the control group. The bacterial communities were dominated by phyla of Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Synergistetes, and Actinobacteria. The gene abundances related to energy production, carbohydrate transport and metabolism were relatively high, which are mainly responsible for carbon forms conversion and carbohydrate degradation. This study will provide a basis for the screening and enrichment of functional bacteria and genes.

Comparison of bacterial community structure and dynamics during the thermophilic composting of different types of solid wastes: anaerobic digestion residue, pig manure and chicken manure.

Project description:This study investigated the impact of composting substrate types on the bacterial community structure and dynamics during composting processes. To this end, pig manure (PM), chicken manure (CM), a mixture of PM and CM (PM + CM), and a mixture of PM, CM and anaerobic digestion residue (ADR) (PM + CM + ADR) were selected for thermophilic composting. The bacterial community structure and dynamics during the composting process were detected and analysed by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) coupled with a statistic analysis. The physical-chemical analyses indicated that compared to single-material composting (PM, CM), co-composting (PM + CM, PM + CM + ADR) could promote the degradation of organic matter and strengthen the ability of conserving nitrogen. A DGGE profile and statistical analysis demonstrated that co-composting, especially PM + CM + ADR, could improve the bacterial community structure and functional diversity, even in the thermophilic stage. Therefore, co-composting could weaken the screening effect of high temperature on bacterial communities. Dominant sequencing analyses indicated a dramatic shift in the dominant bacterial communities from single-material composting to co-composting. Notably, compared with PM, PM + CM increased the quantity of xylan-degrading bacteria and reduced the quantity of human pathogens.

Bacterial community analysis in upflow multilayer anaerobic reactor treating high-solids organic wastes.

Project description:A novel anaerobic digestion configuration, the upflow multi-layer anaerobic reactor (UMAR), was developed to treat high-solids organic wastes. The UMAR was hypothesized to form multi-layer along depth due to the upflow plug flow; use of a recirculation system and a rotating distributor and baffles aimed to assist treating high-solids influent. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency and methane (CH4 ) production rate were 89% and 2.10 L CH4 /L/d, respectively, at the peak influent COD concentration (110.4 g/L) and organic loading rate (7.5 g COD/L/d). The 454 pyrosequencing results clearly indicated heterogeneous distribution of bacterial communities at different vertical locations (upper, middle, and bottom) of the UMAR. Firmicutes was the dominant (>70%) phylum at the middle and bottom parts, while Deltaproteobacteria and Chloroflexi were only found in the upper part. Potential functions of the bacteria were discussed to speculate on their roles in the anaerobic performance of the UMAR system. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.
