This study investigated the impact of different granular activated carbon (GAC) loadings and inoculum enrichment on acidogenic fermentation of food waste in a leachate bed reactor (LBR) operated at a high volumetric organic loading of 49 g VS/L. LBR with a high GAC loading of 0.51 g GAC/g VS achieved hydrolysis yield of 620 g SCOD/kg VS, significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher to that obtained for LBRs with low or no GAC loading. A high GAC loading also resulted in a higher acidification yield of 507 g COD/kg VS. Butyrate dominated the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) composition by constituting 57-60 % of total SCFA at high GAC loadings, while the composition of acetate (38-40 %) and butyrate (36-38 %) were similar at lower GAC loadings. Inoculum enrichment further improved the hydrolysis and acidogenesis yields by 10-22 % resulting in the final hydrolysis yield of 683 g SCOD/kg VS and acidification yield of 617 g COD/kg VS.
本研究考察了不同颗粒状活性炭(GAC)负载量和接种物富集会如何影响在高容积有机负荷(49 g VS/L)下运行的渗滤床反应器(LBR)中食物垃圾的产酸发酵。GAC 负载量为 0.51 g GAC/g VS 的 LBR 达到了 620 g SCOD/kg VS 的水解产率,显著高于(P ≤ 0.05)低 GAC 负载量或无 GAC 负载量的 LBR。高 GAC 负载量还导致了 507 g COD/kg VS 的更高酸化产率。但丁酸在高 GAC 负载量下占短链脂肪酸(SCFA)组成的 57-60%,而在低 GAC 负载量下,乙酸(38-40%)和丁酸(36-38%)的组成相似。接种物富集会进一步提高水解和产酸率 10-22%,从而使最终水解产率达到 683 g SCOD/kg VS 和酸化产率达到 617 g COD/kg VS。
