摘要
The methane fermentation of organic waste is one way to minimize organic waste, which accounts for 77% of the global municipal waste stream. The use of biochar as an additive for methane fermentation has been shown to increase the production potential of biogas. Sulfur waste has a potential application to synergistic recycling in a form of composites with other materials including biochar. A composite product in the form of a mixture of biochar and molten sulfur has been proposed. In this experiment, additions of the sulfur-biochar composite (SBC) were tested to improve the fermentation process. The biochar was produced from apple chips under the temperature of 500 degrees C. The ground biochar and sulfur (<1 mm particle size) were mixed in the proportion of 40% biochar and 60% sulfur and heated to 140 degrees C for sulfur melting. After cooling, the solidified composite was ground. The SBC was added in the dose rate of 10% by dry mass of prepared artificial kitchen waste. Wet anaerobic digestion was carried out in the batch reactors under a temperature of 37 degrees C for 21 days. As an inoculum, the digestate from Bio-Wat Sp. z. o. o., Swidnica, Poland, was used. The results showed that released biogas reached 672 mL x g(vs)(-1), and the yield was 4% higher than in the variant without the SBC. Kinetics study indicated that the biogas production constant rate reached 0.214 d(-1) and was 4.4% higher than in the variant without the SBC.
