Promotion of Sugar Extraction from Sewage Sludge by Microwave Combined with Thermal-Alkaline Pretreatment
A large amount of sludge is produced in the process of municipal sewage treatment. The recovery and utilization of large amounts of sugar, protein, lipids and other organic matter from sewage sludge (SS) is of great significance for reducing environmental pressure and producing clean energy. In this study, microwave combined with thermal-alkaline pretreatment was used to accelerate the dissolution of primary sedimentation sludge and the release of intracellular substances, and to promote the extraction of sugar from SS. The results showed that the yield of crude sugar and the extraction efficiency of pure sugar increased with the increase in NaOH dosage. The extraction of crude sugar reached the equilibrium at about 30 min. During the response surface analysis, the optimal pretreatment conditions were determined as follows: the dosage of NaOH was 9.93 mL, and the leaching time and the microwave time were 27.65 min and 33.2 s, respectively. The crude sugar yield and extraction efficiency obtained under this condition were 39.80 ± 3.57% and 89.74 ± 3.61%, respectively. The pretreated sludge and crude sugar were characterized with scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that the combined use of thermal-alkaline and microwave effectively destroyed the structure of the sludge and increased the yield of crude sugar.
