In order to investigate the effects of ceramsite on methane and HzS productions during anaerobic digestion of macroalgae, batch experiments ofMacrocystis pyrifera were carried out. Four groups named C0, C1, C2 and C3 added with 0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 g/g substrate of ceramsite, respectively, were studied and compared. The highest cumulative methane yield of 286.3 mL/g substrate is obtained in C2, which is 40.11% higher than that of CO. The cumulative HzS yields of C1, C2 and C3 are 32.67%, 44.66% and 53.21% lower than that of CO, respectively. Results indicate that ceramsite addition permits higher methane yields, shorter lag-phase time and lower HzS yields during anaerobic digestion of Macrocystispyrifera.展开更多

The effects of different pretreatment conditions, substrate concentrations and initial pH values on hydrogen and volatile fatty acid(VFA) production during the anaerobic fermentation of MPBRs were evaluated. The optimal pretreatment conditions, substrate concentration, initial pH values were determined as thermo-alkaline pretreatment at 100 °C with 0.1 mol/L NaOH, 40 g/L and 7.0, respectively. Under these conditions, the maximum hydrogen production was 11.38 mL/g(volatile solids, VS), which was approximately 23 times higher than that of untreated MPBRs. Furthermore, the maximum total volatile fatty acid(TVFA) yield was found to be 0.055 g/g(VS) and the VFA mainly consisted of acetic and butyric acids. The results indicate that the yield of TVFA is positively correlated with hydrogen production, and the MPBRs could produce hydrogen and TVFA simultaneously. In addition, thermo-alkaline pretreatment is proven to be the best method for hydrogen and VFA production.展开更多

Wastewater was fed to the upflow ML-MFC to remove chemical oxygen demand (COD), phosphorus and nitrogen with simultaneous electricity generation. The effluent from the cathode compartment of the upflow ML-MFC was then continuously fed to an external photobioreactor for removing the remaining phosphorus and nitrogen using microalgae. Alone, the upflow ML-MFC produces a maximum power density of 481 mW/m 3 , and obtains 77.9% COD, 23.5% total phosphorus (TP) and 97.6% NH4+-N removals. When combined with the photobioreactor, the system achieves 99.3% TP and 99.0% NH4+-N total removal. These results show both the effectiveness and the potential application of the coupled system to continuously treat domestic wastewater and simultaneously generate electricity and biomass.展开更多
