Abstract
- The effects of temperature and pH on volatile solid (VS) degradation and CH4 production of anaerobic digestion treating high-solid municipal dewatered sludge was studied. There were two single-phase reactors in Group 1: 35 and 55 °C reactors. In Group 2 (G2), acidification phase temperature was 55 °C or 70 °C and digestion phase temperature was 35 °C or 55 °C. G3 was set on the basis of G2 with the initial pH adjusted to 10.0. VS degradation ratio and CH4 generation ratio of G2 and G3 were higher than G1. In G2, acidification reactors did not show much difference on VS degradation and CH4 generation. Higher VS degradation ratio with higher CH4 generation ratio was get in extreme thermophilic/thermophilic-mesophilic systems. In G3, pH adjustment only promoted VS degradation and CH4 generation in acidification reactors when compared to G2, but the two ratios of the whole systems was not further enhanced.
