One- and two-stage anaerobic digestion of food waste aimed at recovering methane (CH) and hydrogen and methane (H+CH), respectively, were compared in order to assess the potential benefits from the two-stage process in terms of overall energy recovery. Results suggest that a two-stage process where the first reactor is properly operated in order to achieve a significant net hydrogen production, may display a 20% comparatively higher energy recovery yield as a result, mainly, of enhanced methane production as well as of the associated hydrogen production. The highest methane production of the two-stage process was due to improved hydrolysis and fermentation of food waste, with increased amounts of volatile fatty acids being readily available to methanogenesis.
分别采用一阶段和两阶段厌氧消化处理厨余垃圾,旨在分别回收甲烷(CH)和氢气甲烷(H+CH),以此来评估两阶段工艺在整体能源回收方面的潜在效益。结果表明,第一阶段反应器如果能适当运行以实现显著的净氢气生产,那么由于甲烷产量的提高以及相关的氢气生产,整体能源回收效率可能会提高 20%。两阶段工艺的甲烷产量最高,是因为厨余垃圾的水解和发酵得到了改善,可用于产甲烷作用的挥发性脂肪酸的量增加。
