Abstract:In order to solve the problems of low dissolution rate of carbon source and low availability of released carbon source of waste activated sludge (WAS) with high solid content in microwave pretreatment, the method of elutriation was adopted, and zero valent iron (ZVI) was added to the mixture and supernatant of elutriated sludge for anaerobic fermentation to enhance the availability of carbon source. The results showed that elutriation significantly improved the carbon dissolution rate of microwave-pretreated WAS with high solid content (TS=11%~17%). Compared with non-elutriaton, the dissolution rate of carbon source of elutriating with water and alkali increased by 13%~68% and 146%~308% respectively. The addition of ZVI not only significantly improved the dissolution rate of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), but also transformed macromolecular carbon sources into low molecular carbon sources such as acetic acid and propionic acid. In the mixture, supernatant and ZVI fermentation, the dissolving-out amount of VFAs was 317and 354mg/g VSS respectively, which were 30 times higher than that in the microwave-pretreated WAS. After adding ZVI, the proportion of propionic acid, acetic acid and butyric acid respectively increased to 34%, 26% and 18% in the mixture, and 39%, 27% and 20% in the supernatant, which enhanced the utilization value of carbon source in WAS. The research showed that microwave-elutriation pretreatment combined with ZVI anaerobic fermentation technology could effectively improve the dissolution rate of efficient carbon source in WAS, which provided a new idea for the transformation of carbon source in WAS.
