RESUMEN

The valorization of agricultural waste peels as a low-cost biosorbent is a promising approach to water treatment. In this work, the improvement of the adsorption capacity of lemon peel to remove Ni (II) from aqueous effluents was explored using several chemical modifiers: HNO3, HCl, H3PO4, CaCl2, NH3 and NaOH. The surface pretreatment using NaOH was selected as the best option because of the improvement of the maximum adsorption capacity. The maximum adsorption capacity was of 36.74 mg g-1 according to the Langmuir model at optimum conditions (pH = 5, S/L = 5 g L-1, 25 °C). The pseudo-first order model of biosorption kinetics provides the best fit for experimental data. From thermodynamic studies, it was concluded that Ni (II) biosorption by modified lemon peel was endothermic and spontaneous. After five consecutives adsorption-desorption cycles using 0.1 M of HNO3 and H2SO4, a recovery of 90% of Ni (II) was obtained. Regarding characterization of the biosorbent, the surface morphology was studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy while the functional groups responsible for Ni (II) adsorption were evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

RESUMEN

Clear economic advantages may be obtained from the management of seasonal fruit wastes by codigestion at existing facilities which are working throughout the year with other residues. We have explored the biomethanization of pear residues in a 5L stirred reactor loaded with sludge from the anaerobic digester of a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Different organic loading rates (OLRs) of fruit waste were tested with two delivery procedures: a discontinuous one (fed once a day) and a pseudocontinuous one. For both procedures, as the OLR increases the pH of the digester drops to acidic values and large OLRs may cause the reactor failure. Nevertheless, the pseudocontinuous delivery allows the treatment of more residue, (10.5 versus 6.0 g of volatile solids per litre of reactor and day), maintaining the specific biogas production (0.44 L of biogas per gram of volatile solids), with some improvement in methane concentration (44% vs 39%).
