Abstract:Batch experiments of dynamic hydrolysis at different hydrolysate replacement frequencies in 96h were conducted to evaluate the effects on anaerobic hydrolysis of organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) caused by homogenization pretreatment, overturn, methanogenic effluent and hydrolysate replacement frequency (12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 96 h ). It showed that the operation of overturn mixing improved the hydrolysis efficiency of OFMSW by 42.7% at the most which happened in the methanogenic-buffered scenario without homogenization, and the hydrolysis efficiency in the scenario without the operation of overturn mixing can only be 22.3%. Comparing with the distilled water, using methanogenic effluent as buffer increased the hydrolysis rate of un-homogenized OFMSW by 40.6%. However, the increment was only 3.6% in the hydrolysis of homogenized OFMSW, which indicated that the homogenization had not significantly improved the hydrolysis efficiency, but increased the energy consumption. Hydrolysate replacement to some extent eliminated the inhibition of organic acid. The increments of weight loss by 11.4% and 40.7% were accomplished in the scenarios with hydrolysate replacement frequencies of 24 h·run-1 and 48 h·run-1, comparing with that of 12 h·run-1. However, the energy consumptions increased by 100% and 300%, respectively, suggesting that the hydrolysate replacement frequency of 12 h·run-1 is optimal.
