Simultaneous study of the interaction effect of chemical and hydrothermal pretreatment on the yield of methane produced from municipal waste. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH.

Abstract
Municipal waste has the potential to be a significant source of energy production. This study investigated pretreatment methods such as NaOH, hydrothermal, and ozonation to increase biomethane production from municipal waste. In addition, these pretreatments were further evaluated using ultrasonic pretreatment after achieving optimal conditions by RSM CCD methods. The optimum pretreatment conditions were observed to be 8% NaOH concentration, 132 °C hydrothermal temperature, and O3 equal to 0.19 g/g TS. The maximum biomethane produced and achieved during the tests was 394 mL/kg TS, which increased to 410 mL/kg TS after ultrasonic pretreatment. The best sCOD reduction in the optimal pretreatment conditions and after the ultrasonic pretreatment was 87% and 91%, respectively. Also, in the absence of ozone pretreatment, the highest yields of biomethane and biogas occurred at a 6.4% concentration of NaOH and a temperature of 135 °C; however, in the presence of ozone, the yield of biomethane and biogas produced was greater and the inhibitory effect of sodium hydroxide also occurs in higher amounts. Experiments have shown that ozonation increases biomethane production rather than increasing biogas production (hence the ratio of methane to biogas).

Abstract
In this work, the feasibility of the anaerobic digestion of paper sludge as a co-substrate in anaerobic digestion mechanical-biological treatment (MBT) plants is investigated. In the first phase, the biochemical properties, biomethane potential (BMP), and pollutant contents of 20 different industrial paper sludges are determined. Following the general evaluation in the BMP tests, the second phase of the project involves the semi-continuous co-digestion of six paper sludges in continuous stirred reactors (CSTR). Paper sludges are categorized according to their origin within the pulp and paper mills: Deinking Sludge (DS), Primary Sludge (PS) and Biological Sludge (BS). The analysis of potentially inhibiting elements shows that the concentrations of chlororganic compounds, mineral oil and some heavy metals are highest in DS, while the mean heavy metal loads in all paper sludges are relatively low compared to other industrial sludges. Large differences in total solids (TS) and volatile solids (VS) contents are observed among the different paper sludges investigated, with DS having the highest TS due to the high inorganic contents. The BMP of the investigated sludges ranges from 90 to 355 NL CH4 kg-1 VS. In subsequent semi-continuous co-digestion experiments simulating MBT conditions, three DS and two fiber sludges (a mixture of PS and BS) show good methane generation rates, while one fiber sludge causes inhibition and indicates an increase in viscosity. In general, co-digestion of paper sludge in anaerobic digestion MBT plants can be a viable option for energy production and also facilitates a safe disposal of the paper sludge digestates.

Residual municipal solid waste as co-substrate at wastewater treatment plants: An assessment of methane yield, dewatering potential and microbial diversity. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 804:149936. [PMID: 34509850 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Separately collected organic fraction of municipal solid waste, also known as biowaste, is typically used to fill the available capacity of digesters at wastewater treatment plants. However, this approach might impair the use of the ensuing digestate for fertilizer production due to the presence of sewage sludge, a contaminated substrate. Worldwide, unsorted municipal solid household waste, i.e. residual waste, is still typically disposed of in landfills or incinerated, despite its high content of biodegradables and recyclables. Once efficiently separated from residual waste by mechanical processes, the biodegradables might be appropriate to substitute biowaste at wastewater treatment plants. Thus, the biowaste would be available for fertilizer production and contribute to a reduction in the demand on non-renewable fertilizers. This study aimed at determining the technical feasibility of co-digesting the mechanically separated organic fraction of residual waste with sewage sludge. Further, key parameters for the implementation of co-digestion at wastewater treatment plants were determined, namely, degradation of the solids and organics, specific methane production, flocculant demand, and dewatered sludge production. The microbial community and diversity in both mono- and co-digestion was also investigated. Semi-continuous laboratory scale experiments showed that the co-substrate derived from the residual waste provided a stable anaerobic co-digestion process, producing 206 to 245 L of methane per kg of volatiles solids added to the digester. The dewaterability of the digestate increased by 4.8 percentage points when the co-substrate was added; however, there was also an increase in the flocculant demand. The specific dewatered sludge production was 955 kg per ton of total solids of co-substrate added to the digester. Amplicon sequencing analysis provided a detailed insight into the microbial communities, which were primarily affected by the addition of co-substrate. The microbiota was fully functional and no inhibition or problems in the anaerobic digestion process were observed after co-substrate addition.

Abstract
Thermochemical digestion is a rapid technology of biowaste management resulting in the instant production of organic fertilizer. Characterization and assessment of its suitability as an organic fertilizer is essential for recommendation for crop application. Biowaste and the thermochemical digestate were subjected to physicochemical and biochemical characterization and the compost maturity parameters assessed. The product integrated with inorganic fertilizers was tested in an Ultisol grown with banana in comparison with farmyard manure based fertilizers. Temporal variation in soil reaction, water holding capacity, carbon dynamics, dehydrogenase activity and plant biomass were determined. The thermochemical digestate fertilizer had a bulk density (0.76 Mg m-3), pH (neutral), C:N ratio (16.26), CEC (85.70 cmol(+) kg-1), CEC/ TOC ratio (3.99), Fertilizing index (4.7) and a Clean index (5.0). Field evaluation revealed enhanced water holding capacity (38.75-83.17%). Total carbon increased with consistently high labile (R2 = 0.9551) and non labile carbon fractions and the lowest average lability index (0.78). Dehydrogenase activity at harvest enhanced by 72.81%. An even biomass allocation resulted in 38.84% more biomass production in the fruit over farmyard manure based treatments. In addition to ensuring the safety of the environmental ecosystem, the thermochemical digestate conformed to be a quality resource favoring microbial proliferation and carbon sequestration, thereby restraining carbon dioxide emission. The thermochemical digestate fertilizer based nutrition serves the key deliverables of natural resource management, ecofriendly rapid disposal of biowaste and quality organic fertilizer for banana in Ultisols.

Identification and Quantification of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Polyhydroxyalkanoates Produced from Mixed Microbial Cultures and Municipal Organic Wastes at Pilot Scale. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26030539. [PMID: 33494198 PMCID: PMC7864499 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26030539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Revised: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are well-known biodegradable plastics produced by various bacterial strains, whose major drawback is constituted by the high cost of their synthesis. Producing PHAs from mixed microbial cultures and employing organic wastes as a carbon source allows us to both reduce cost and valorize available renewable resources, such as food waste and sewage sludge. However, different types of pollutants, originally contained in organic matrices, could persist into the final product, thus compromising their safety. In this work, the exploitation of municipal wastes for PHA production is evaluated from the environmental and health safety aspect by determining the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in both commercial and waste-based PHA samples. Quantification of PAHs by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry on 24 PHA samples obtained in different conditions showed very low contamination levels, in the range of ppb to a few ppm. Moreover, the contaminant content seems to be dependent on the type of PHA stabilization and extraction, but independent from the type of feedstock. Commercial PHA derived from crops, selected for comparison, showed PAH content comparable to that detected in PHAs derived from organic fraction of municipal solid waste. Although there is no specific regulation on PAH maximum levels in PHAs, detected concentrations were consistently lower than threshold limit values set by regulation and guidelines for similar materials and/or applications. This suggests that the use of organic waste as substrate for PHA production is safe for both the human health and the environment.

Abstract
Municipal solid waste is an environmental threat worldwide; however, the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OF-MSW) has a great potential for the generation of fuels and high-value products. In the current study, OF-MSW was utilized for the production of ethanol, hydrogen, as well as 2,3-butanediol, an octane booster, by using Enterobacter aerogenes. Furthermore, a promising alternative to non-biodegradable petrochemical-based polymers, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), was produced. The OF-MSW was first pretreated by an acetic acid catalyzed ethanol organosolv pretreatment at 120 and 160 °C followed by enzymatic hydrolysis of the residual solids. The residual unhydrolyzed solids resulting from enzymatic hydrolysis were further anaerobically digested for methane production. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the solids prepared at 120 °C for 60 min led to the production of hydrolysate with the highest glucose production yield of 498.5 g/kg dry untreated OF-MSW, which was fermented to 139.1 g 2,3-butanediol, 98.3 g ethanol, 28.6 g acetic acid, 71.4 L biohydrogen, and 40 g PHAs. Moreover, 23.1 L biomethane was produced through the anaerobic digestion of the enzymatic hydrolysis residue solids. Thus, appreciable amounts of energy (8236.9 kJ) and an eco-friendly bioplastic were produced by the valorization of carbon sources available in OF-MSW.

Abstract
The utilisation of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste as feedstock for bioethanol production could reduce the need for disposal of the ever-increasing amounts of municipal solid waste, especially in developing countries, and fits with the integrated goals of climate change mitigation and transport energy security. Mixed culture fermentation represents a suitable approach to handle the complexity and variability of such waste, avoiding expensive and vulnerable closed-control operational conditions. It is widely accepted that the control of pH in these systems can direct the fermentation process toward a desired fermentation product, however, little empirical evidence has been provided in respect of lignocellulosic waste substrates and different environmental inocula sources. We evaluated ethanol production from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste using five different inocula sources where lignocellulose degradation putatively occurs, namely, compost, woodland soil, rumen, cow faeces and anaerobic granular sludge, when incubated in batch microcosms at either initially neutral or acidic pH and under initially aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Although ethanol was produced by all the inocula tested, their performance was different in response to the imposed experimental conditions. Rumen and anaerobic granular sludge produced significantly the highest ethanol concentrations (∼30 mM) under initially neutral and acidic pH, respectively. A mixed-source community formed by mixing rumen and sludge (R + S) was then tested over a range of initial pH. In contrast to the differences observed for the individual inocula, the maximal ethanol production of the mixed community was not significantly different at initial pH of 5.5 and 7. Consistent with this broader functionality, the microbial community analyses confirmed the R + S community enriched comprised bacterial taxa representative of both original inocula. It was demonstrated that the interaction of initial pH and inocula source dictated ethanologenic activity from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste. Furthermore, the ethanologenic mixed-source community enriched, was comprised of taxa belonging to the two original inocula sources (rumen and sludge) and had a broader functionality. This information is relevant when diverse inocula sources are combined for mix culture fermentation studies as it experimentally demonstrates the benefits of diversity and function assembled from different inocula.

Abstract
Among the organic contaminants that could pass from waste to polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), there are the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). For this reason, we have developed a rapid analytical method for the determination of sixteen PAHs in PHAs. PAHs were extracted by n-hexane, after matrix dispersion and crumbling into sand; the extract was purified by solid phase extraction using florisil as adsorbent. Recoveries in the range of 89-101% were obtained for the deuterated analytes, except for the two with the lowest molecular weight. Trueness between 92% and 108% and within-laboratory precision (expressed as relative standard deviation) ≤ 18% were estimated for all the analytes. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used for analyte determination. Method limits of quantification were suitable to assure that PAH presence in PHA biolpolymers is much below the limits set by European law for plastic materials. Indeed, analysis of two different PHA samples showed that contamination is limited to few compounds at non-concerning levels.
