在蓝藻厌氧发酵过程中,由于蓝藻密度较小,容易在反应器中上浮而结壳,从而降低反应器产气效率。该文以蓝藻为原料,研究机械搅拌对其厌氧发酵产沼气的影响。分别选取不同的搅拌周期、搅拌持续时间及搅拌强度3个因素,在试验的基础上采用响应曲面法确定蓝藻厌氧发酵产气的最佳搅拌因素,为蓝藻厌氧发酵产沼气技术应用提供技术参数。以模拟得到的二次多项式回归方程,从而预测得到蓝藻最佳搅拌条件为:搅拌周期6 h、搅拌持续时间20 min/次、搅拌强度56 r/min。中试中,在最佳搅拌条件下,蓝藻的比产气速率、比产甲烷速率最大,分别为0.39、0.236 L/(L·g)。研究发现:搅拌强度对蓝藻厌氧发酵产沼气影响最大,搅拌周期其次,搅拌持续时间最小;搅拌强度过大、搅拌频繁将会破坏适于特定厌氧微生物生长的微环境,使系统中不同种属厌氧微生物的协同作用受到局部破坏,反应器中污泥的蛋白酶、脱氢酶及辅酶活性下降,产气率降低;搅拌强度小、搅拌周期长,蓝藻容易上浮,与污泥中微生物接触有效接触减少,蓝藻转换效率低,微生物活性降低。适当的搅拌混合可以破坏蓝藻上浮结壳,同时提高蓝藻与微生物之间接触效果及产气效率。
Water pollution caused by the excessive growth of blue-green algae has become a growing environmental problem. One current approach to reducing the algae in Taihu Lake is to refloat the algae after a bloom has occurred. It can remove nitrogen and phosphorus in the lake simultaneously. The amount of algae-laden water collected from Taihu Lake can be up to approximately several thousand tons in wet weight per day. And they needs timely and effective treatment. The algae can be effectively degraded and produced into methane by anaerobic fermentation technology. The algae is easy to float and crust in the reactor, thus affecting the efficiency of the gas production and reducing the processing effect of the reactor. In anaerobic reactors, proper stirring can prevent algae floating and facilitate contact between the algae and other microbes, thereby improving gas production efficiency. This paper designed experimental device for optimizing the stirring of blue-green algae anaerobic
