Study of thermophilic anaerobic cleaning systems; Studier av termofila anaeroba reningssystem

Abstract

The aim of this study was to indicate how mesophile and thermophilic anaerobic systems differ in their capacity to degrade persistent organic compounds. The experiments were carried out in semi-batch lab.scale reactors working at 35, 55 and 70 degrees C and were evaluated by recording pH, COD, TSS, redox potential, fatty acids, gas production, methane concentration and the concentration of specific organic compounds. Totally, seven different reactors and four different specific organic compounds were used in this study. The microbial activity within the semi-batch reactors showed a pronounced tendency to oscillate in an irregular and unpredictable way. This behaviour stressed the difficulties in running the decided experiments. These experiences are unfortunately confirmed by many other investigators within the present field. The results do not indicate differences between mesophile and thermophilic anaerobic reactors in terms of `not degradable-degradable` but only as differences in degree of degradation rates. 6-chlorovanillin and 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid showed increasing degradation rate in the thermophilic range while no differences could be detected for 4,5-dichloroguaiacol. In the case of {beta}-sitosterol the mesophile reference reactor crash. 14 refs, 6 figs, 3 tabs
