Aim of this study was to find out suitable mixing ratio of food waste and rice husk for their co-digestion in order to overcome VFA accumulation in digestion of food waste alone. Four mixing ratios of food waste and rice husk with C/N ratios of 20, 25, 30 and 35 were subjected to a lab scale anaerobic batch experiment under mesophilic conditions. Highest specific biogas yield of 584L/kgVS was obtained from feedstock with C/N ratio of 20. Biogas yield decreased with decrease in food waste proportion. Further, fresh cow dung was used as inoculum to investigate optimum S/I ratio with the selected feedstock. In experiment 2, feedstock with C/N ratio 20 was subjected to anaerobic digestion at five S/I ratios of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. Specific biogas yield of 557L/kgVS was obtained at S/I ratio of 0.25. However, VFA accumulation occurred at higher S/I ratios due to higher organic loadings.
本研究旨在找出适合的厨余垃圾和稻壳混合比例,以克服单独消化厨余垃圾时 VFA 积累的问题。将四种不同厨余垃圾和稻壳的混合比例(C/N 比分别为 20、25、30 和 35)进行了实验室规模的中温厌氧批式实验。在 C/N 比为 20 的进料条件下,获得了最高的特定沼气产量 584L/kgVS。沼气产量随厨余垃圾比例的降低而降低。此外,新鲜牛粪被用作接种物,以研究所选原料的最佳 S/I 比。在实验 2 中,C/N 比为 20 的原料在五个 S/I 比(0.25、0.5、1.0、1.5 和 2.0)下进行了厌氧消化。在 S/I 比为 0.25 时,获得了 557L/kgVS 的特定沼气产量。然而,由于较高的有机负荷,在较高的 S/I 比下会发生 VFA 积累。
