A novel composite CaO bead was prepared to improve total short-chain fatty acids (TSCFAs) production and phosphorus (P) recovery from iron-rich waste activated sludge (WAS) during ambient anaerobic fermentation. Results showed that CaO mass percentage of 5% and CaCl:nylon66 = 1:1 (mass ratio) were the optimal prescription for the preparation of CaO beads with porous structure, loose morphology, and sustained-release of CaO. The highest TSCFAs production (356 mg/g VSS) was observed and about 9% of P in sludge could be recovered on beads. The decrease of Fe-phosphate and Fe-oxides in the sludge were due to different mechanisms. Microbial community analyses showed that CaO beads effectively enriched dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria (DIRB) and promoted iron-reduction related genes. After fermentation, the P-rich beads are easy to separate from sludge for further P recovery, and the supernatant carrying abundant acetate and Fe can be returned to the wastewater treatment line to improve nutrient removal.
一种新型复合 CaO 珠粒被制备出来,以改善富铁剩余污泥(WAS)在环境厌氧发酵过程中的总短链脂肪酸(TSCFAs)生产和磷(P)回收。结果表明,当 CaO 质量百分比为 5%且 CaCl:nylon66=1:1(质量比)时,CaO 珠粒具有多孔结构、疏松形态和 CaO 的持续释放。观察到最高的 TSCFAs 产量(356mg/g VSS),并且大约 9%的污泥中的 P 可以在珠粒上回收。污泥中 Fe-磷酸盐和 Fe-氧化物的减少是由于不同的机制。微生物群落分析表明,CaO 珠粒有效地富集了异化铁还原菌(DIRB)并促进了铁还原相关基因。发酵后,富含 P 的珠粒易于从污泥中分离出来以进一步回收 P,并且携带丰富的乙酸盐和 Fe 的上清液可以返回废水处理线以提高养分去除率。
