摘要
The effectiveness of the Free Nitrous Acid (FNA) sludge treatment was tested in the range from 0 to 3.0 mg N-HNO2/L with acidified and neutral pH. 4 h pre-treatment times were used and the specific methane production (SMP) investigated. Results show that between 50 and 100 mg/L of N-NO2-/L disappeared during the FNA pre-treatment, reducing its effectiveness. A minimum level of nitrite (174 mg N-NO2-/L tested in this study), independently of pH/FNA, was necessary to assure the presence of the chemical throughout the duration of the pre-treatment. Sludge viability was compromised while WAS solubilization and SMP were enhanced with nitrite concentrations of 174 mg N-NO2-/L or higher, even at low FNA levels (< 0.15 mg N-HNO2/L). Results show that acidified pH is not needed to enhance methane production, making the pretreatment more economically and environmentally attractive.
