Bio-electrochemically assisted microbial reactor that generates hydrogen gas and methods of generating hydrogen gas

Systems and processes for producing hydrogen using bacteria are described. One detailed process for producing hydrogen uses a system for producing hydrogen as described herein, the system including a reactor. Anodophilic bacteria are disposed within the interior of the reactor and an organic material oxidizable by an oxidizing activity of the anodophilic bacteriais introduced and incubated under oxidizing reactions conditions such that electrons are produced and transferred to the anode. A power source is activated to increase a potential between the anode and the cathode, such that electrons and protons combine to produce hydrogen gas. One system for producing hydrogen includes a reaction chamber having a wall defining an interior of the reactor and an exterior of the reaction chamber. An anode is provided which is at least partially contained within the interior of the reaction chamber and a cathode is also provided which is at least partially contained within the interior of the reaction chamber. The cathode is spaced apart at a distance in the range between 0.1-100 centimeters, inclusive, from the anode. A conductive conduit for electrons is provided which is in electrical communication with the anode and the cathode and a power source for enhancing an electrical potential between the anode and cathode is included which is in electrical communication at least with the cathode. A first channel defining a passage from the exterior of the reaction chamber to the interior of the reaction chamber is also included.

Anaerobic digester system and method

An anaerobic digester system has a vertically upright vessel, a matrix arranged in the vessel supporting a microorganism biomass thereon, an input for supplying an input slurry of liquid and suspended solids at an upper portion of the vessel above the matrix, a gas output at the top of the vessel for withdrawing gas generated by anaerobic digestion of solids, and an effluent output at the bottom of the vessel for withdrawing liquid and remaining solids. The vessel has a preferred liquid height to diameter ratio of 2 to 1, and is constructed of inert fiberglass-reinforced plastic coated with a translucent blue gel pigment layer for filtering light at wavelengths that promote biomass cultivation. The matrix is formed as an array of panels mounted to a spindle with wheels fixed at spaced intervals along its vertical height, and the panel are made of a polyethylene grass matting providing a high surface area to volume ratio of at least 20 to 1. Gas from the top of the vessel is recycled to the bottom to generate bubbles for mixing the feedstock. The related method of anaerobic digestion includes comminuting input wastes with a slurry grinder into a pumpable slurry 8-10 % by weight solids, and providing as the biomass hydrolytic bacteria, and fermentative bacteria including acetogenic and methanogenic bacteria to produce a methane gas product. Other products include an organic soil additive, bacterial solids plant food, and a filtrate used as plant tonic.

Apparatus and Process for Production of Biogas

A process and an apparatus for the manufacture of biogas and a solids fraction from an organic waste feedstock is provided. The process involves thermal hydrolysis of the organic waste feedstock at a temperature from about 100 to about 220° C., a pressure from about 5 to about 20 bars, for a period of time from about 15 minutes to 4 hours, to produce a hydrolysate. The hydrolysate undergoes anaerobic digestion at a temperature from about 25 to 60° C., for a period of time from about 1 to 35 days to produce a biogas stream and a digestate. The digestate is separated into a solids fraction and a liquid fraction, and a portion of the solids fraction is recycled for further anaerobic digestion. The biogas stream, characterized as having a methane content from between 55 to 80% by volume, and the solids fraction, are recovered. The apparatus includes a receiving bin for receiving and supplying organic waste feedstock to a thermal hydrolysis reactor. The thermal hydrolysis reactor for processing the organic waste feedstock at a temperature from about 100 to about 220° C., a pressure from about 5 to about 20 bars, for a period of time from about 15 minutes to 4 hours to produce a hydrolysate. An anaerobic digester for processing the hydrolysate at a temperature from about 25 to 60° C., for a period of time from about 1 to 35 days to produce the biogas and a digestate, and a solids thickening tank for separating the digestate into the solid fraction, a liquid fraction and a secondary biogas fraction.

Reutilization treatment method of kitchen waste

The invention discloses a reutilization treatment method of kitchen waste, belonging to the technical field of rubbish treatment; the kitchen waste is treated by such procedures as pre-sorting, hydraulic pulping, anaerobic fermentation, organic fertilizer preparation by residues and oil-water separation, and the like, so that the grease in the kitchen waste is recycled, the organic matters are prepared to marsh gas by hydrolytic acidification and anaerobic fermentation, and the marsh gas is purified to be used as fuel, power generation or automobile fuel gas; in the whole treatment process, the liquid part in the kitchen waste except the removed grease is used for pulping in a pulp homogenizing system, all pulp participate in the anaerobic fermentation process, and the fermented biogas slurry is after-treated to prepare nutrient solution so as to realize the recycle of resources and zero release of pollutants; the treatment process is completely sealed, and the collected off-flavor is collected and treated by a deodorization system to be exhausted after reaching to the discharge standard. The method of the invention has the advantages of maximally recycling the resources, recycling the kitchen waste, guaranteeing non-pollutant discharge during the whole treatment process, and realizing the efficiency, reclamation and harmlessness of kitchen waste treatment.

Anaerobic fermentation-incineration combined treatment method for organic wastes

The invention discloses an anaerobic fermentation-incineration combined treatment method for organic wastes. The anaerobic fermentation-incineration combined treatment method is characterized by comprising the following steps of: firstly, crushing the organic wastes, feeding the crushed organic wastes into a slurry mixing pool to be mixed with water or a methane solution to form a fermentation raw material, and feeding the fermentation raw material into an anaerobic fermentation tank for anaerobic fermentation treatment; secondly, performing solid-liquid separation treatment on residual slurry to form the methane solution and dehydrated methane slag; thirdly, making partial methane solution flow back to the slurry mixing pool, discharging surplus methane solution outwards to a sewage treatment facility; fourthly, feeding the dehydrated methane slag into a methane slag drying machine by taking methane generated by the anaerobic fermentation tank as fuel for heating, wherein the moisture content of the dried methane slag is made lower than 40%; fifthly, incinerating the dried methane slag subjected to drying treatment by using the methane collected from the anaerobic fermentation tank as auxiliary fuel for methane slag combustion; and sixthly, producing steam or hot water by a waste heat boiler by using high-temperature flue gas discharged from a methane slag incineration furnace, and supplying the steam or the hot water to the fermentation tank to serve as a hot source for heating or heat insulating. According to the invention, the anaerobic fermentation and the incineration treatment are organically combined, the advantages of the anaerobic fermentation and the incineration treatment are fully exerted, and the reduction, harmlessness and the recycling of rubbish are facilitated.
