This study evaluates the main effects of including 'non-ideal' bio-physical-chemical corrections in high-solids anaerobic digestion (HS-AD) of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW), at total solid (TS) between 10 and 40%. As a novel approach, a simple 'non-ideal' module, accounting for the effects of ionic strength (I) on the main acid-base equilibriums, was coupled to a HS-AD model, to jointly evaluate the effects of 'non-ideality' and the TS content dynamics on the HS-AD bio-physical-chemistry. 'Non-ideality' influenced the pH, concentration of inhibitors (i.e. NH), and liquid-gas transfer (i.e. CO), particularly at higher TS (i.e. ≥ 20%). Meanwhile, fitting the experimental data for batch assays at 15% TS showed that HS-AD of OFMSW might be operated at I ≥ 0.5 M. Therefore, all HS-AD simulations should account for 'non-ideal' corrections, when assessing the main inhibitory mechanisms (i.e. NH buildup and acidification) potentially occurring in HS-AD of OFMSW.
本研究评估了在总固体(TS)为 10%至 40%之间的高固体厌氧消化(HS-AD)中纳入“非理想”生物物理化学校正的主要影响,针对有机废物(OFMSW)的有机部分。作为一种新方法,一个简单的“非理想”模块,用于考虑离子强度(I)对主要酸碱平衡的影响,被耦合到 HS-AD 模型中,以共同评估“非理想性”和 TS 含量动态对 HS-AD 生物物理化学的影响。“非理想性”影响了 pH 值、抑制剂(即 NH)的浓度和液-气转移(即 CO),特别是在更高的 TS(即≥20%)下。同时,拟合 15%TS 批次试验的实验数据表明,OFMSW 的 HS-AD 可能在 I≥0.5 M 下运行。因此,在评估 HS-AD 中 OFMSW 可能发生的主要抑制机制(即 NH 积累和酸化)时,所有 HS-AD 模拟都应考虑“非理想”校正。
