RESUMEN

This study compared the effects of alkaline, thermal, thermal-peroxymonosulfate (PMS), and alkyl polyglucose (APG) pretreatments on volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production from refinery waste activated sludge (RWAS), including VFAs yield, composition, organics components, microbial communities, and the potential improvement of mechanisms. All pretreatments effectively enhanced the bioconversion of RWAS and consequently promoted the hydrolysis process, which inhibited the methanogenesis process. However, the release of lignin/carboxyl-rich alicyclic molecules (CRAM)-like compounds and tannin substances in Thermal-PMS and APG groups significantly influenced the acidogenesis and acetogenesis processes. Among all pretreatments, alkaline pretreatment showed the highest VFAs yield of 95.06 mg/g volatile solids (VS) and VS removal of 17%. This result could be associated with the enrichment of functional hydrolytic-acidification bacteria, such as Planococcus and Soehngenia, and increased metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, and nucleotides. By considering an economical and efficient perspective, this study recommended the alkaline pretreatment for the anaerobic fermentation of RWAS.

RESUMEN

Volatile fatty acids (VFA), produced from waste activated sludge (WAS), provide unique opportunities for resource recovery in wastewater treatment plants. This study investigates the potential of refinery spent caustic (RSC) on VFA production during refinery WAS (RWAS) alkaline fermentation. The highest VFA yield was 196.3 mg/g-VS at a sludge retention time of 6 days. Amplicon sequencing revealed the enrichment of Soehngenia (20.21%), Bacilli (11.86%), and Brassicibacter (4.17%), which was associated with improved activities of protease (626%) and α-glucosidase (715%). Function prediction analysis confirmed that acetyl-CoA production and fatty acid biosynthesis were enhanced, while fatty acid degradation was inhibited. Accordingly, hydrolysis, acidogenesis, and acetogenesis were improved by 6.87%, 10.67%, and 28.50%, respectively; whereas methanogenesis was inhibited by 28.87%. The sulfate and free ammonia in RSC likely contributed to increased acetic acid production. This study showcases that RWAS alkaline fermentation mediated by RSC for VFA production is the practicable approach.
