Abstract

Abstract A pH-phased two-stage fermentation process combined thermophilic hydrogen production and mesophilic methane production with recirculation of the digested sludge was suggested in this study and its treatment performance was demonstrated by a continuous experiment treating organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (OFMSW). A thermophilic hydrogen production reactor was operated at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 1.3 days, corresponding to a loading rate of 38.4 kg-VS/m 3 /d or 64.4 kg-COD Cr /m 3 /d. The short HRT and low pH applied here were enough to separate hydrogen production from methanogenesis. The mixed slurry with a high concentration of organic acids was then converted into CH 4 by the mesophilic methane production reactor at a short HRT of 5.0 days, corresponding to a loading rate of 6.6 kg-VS/m 3 /d or 16.3 kg-COD Cr /m 3 /d. The experiment was continued for over 150 days, and a stable performance for the simultaneous hydrogen and methane production was obtained. The yields of hydrogen and methane in this study were 205 ml H 2 /g VS added and 464 ml CH 4 /g VS added, respectively.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
