20 results about "Methanogen" patented technology

Methanogens are microorganisms that produce methane as a metabolic byproduct in hypoxic conditions. They are prokaryotic and belong to the domain of archaea. They are common in wetlands, where they are responsible for marsh gas, and in the digestive tracts of animals such as ruminants and humans, where they are responsible for the methane content of belching in ruminants and flatulence in humans. In marine sediments the biological production of methane, also termed methanogenesis, is generally confined to where sulfates are depleted, below the top layers. Moreover, methanogenic archaea populations play an indispensable role in anaerobic wastewater treatments. Others are extremophiles, found in environments such as hot springs and submarine hydrothermal vents as well as in the "solid" rock of Earth's crust, kilometers below the surface.

A method for simultaneously producing medium-chain fatty acids and hydrogen by enhancing anaerobic fermentation of sludge

The present application belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment, and discloses a method for simultaneously producing medium-chain fatty acids and hydrogen by enhancing sludge anaerobic fermentation. The sludge is concentrated and mixed with alkaline biochar, and then potassium ferrate is added for reaction to obtain pretreated sludge. After adjusting the pH, the sludge is mixed with an electron donor and inoculated sludge for anaerobic fermentation to obtain a fermentation liquor rich in medium-chain fatty acids and hydrogen. The alkaline biochar-potassium ferrate coupling system is used to break down the extracellular polymeric substance and cell wall of the sludge, drive the dissolution of particulate organic matter, and inhibit the activity of methanogens. Fe2O3 derived from potassium ferrate forms an iron-carbon composite with biochar in situ, and by enhancing the efficiency of electron transfer and enzyme activity, the acidification process of organic matter and the carbon chain extension reaction are promoted, forming a composite technology with three functions of "pretreatment-electron regulation-methane inhibition", realizing the simultaneous recovery of medium-chain fatty acids and hydrogen, and improving the sludge treatment efficiency.
