摘要
In this study, we investigated the enhanced performance after addition of zero valent iron (ZVI) under different dosages (low range of 5.19-41.51 g•kg-1 TS and high range of 83.35-853.46 g•kg-1 TS), combined with microwave (MW) pretreatment for anaerobic digestion (AD) of waste activated sludge (WAS). The results demonstrated that the methane production potential of WAS could be increased by 17%-24% with the addition of ZVI combined with MW pretreatment, and especially the methane production rate was enhanced in the initial days (1-4d). ZVI addition could further improve the enhanced performance of AD under MW pretreatment. Compared with the performance of AD with only MW pretreatment, the methane production potential was increased by 7.42%, and methane production flow rate at 2 d was increased by 11.02% with 31.13 g•kg-1 TS of ZVI addition. However, the higher dosage of added ZVI did not show further enhanced performance. It was concluded that ZVI addition promoted the release of dissolved organics at the initial stage of AD. For instance, soluble proteins were increased by 21.16% with the ZVI addition of 31.13 g•kg-1 TS compared with pretreated WAS without ZVI addition. Furthermore, ZVI addition accelerated the degradation of acetic acid, iso-butyric acid, and iso-valeric acid, and led to a significant reduction of orthophosphate and sulfate in the supernatant of the digested sludge. The concentration of iron in the supernatant decreased even with a high dosage of ZVI. Thus, the formation of precipitate that occurred due to reactions between iron and orthophosphate or sulfate, may be the main reason for the lack of enhanced performance even with high dosage of ZVI addition. © 2019, Science Press.
