The study compared the differences in VFAs production between raw sludge and thermal hydrolyzed sludge (TH-sludge) at different temperature (35 °C and 55 °C) in four semi-continuous acidification reactors. Optimal VFAs yield was obtained from TH-sludge at 35 °C (0.22 gVFA/gVS), 44.6% higher than raw sludge at 35 °C, since the advantage of TH-sludge in SCOD solubilization overcame its disadvantage of lower carbon biodegradability. Moreover, high temperature (55 °C) was proved to aid the acidification of raw sludge by 15.7% (in Y), but inhibit that of TH-sludge by 12.2%, mainly due to the suppressed microbial activities under heat. Microbial community analysis showed that TH-sludge had a larger proportion of acidogenic microbes than raw sludge, mainly attributing to the increase of Selenomonadales (37.3% vs. 3.7%); high temperature enriched thermophilic proteolytic microbes, Anaerobaculum and Coprothermobacter. Finally, optimal acidified liquid from TH-sludge at 35 °C was applied for PHAs production and achieved a competitive yield of 34.6% PHAs/DCW.
该研究在四个半连续酸化反应器中比较了不同温度(35°C 和 55°C)下原始污泥和热水解污泥(TH-污泥)在 VFAs 产量方面的差异。TH-污泥在 35°C 时(0.22 gVFA/gVS)获得了最佳的 VFAs 产量,比 35°C 时的原始污泥高 44.6%,因为 TH-污泥在 SCOD 溶解方面的优势克服了其碳生物降解性较低的劣势。此外,高温(55°C)被证明可以使原始污泥的酸化提高 15.7%(Y),但使 TH-污泥的酸化降低 12.2%,主要是由于热抑制了微生物的活性。微生物群落分析表明,TH-污泥中产酸菌的比例高于原始污泥,主要归因于 Selenomonadales 的增加(37.3%比 3.7%);高温富集了嗜热蛋白水解微生物,如 Anaerobaculum 和 Coprothermobacter。最后,将 TH-污泥在 35°C 下最佳酸化得到的液体应用于 PHAs 生产,实现了具有竞争力的 34.6% PHAs/DCW 产量。
