Pretreatment of Slaughterhouse Effluent Treatment Plant Sludge Using Electro-Fenton Process for Anaerobic Digestion
Sludge management is an integral process of an effluent treatment plant (ETP). This study aimed at using the electro-Fenton (EF) process for pretreatment of a cattle-based slaughterhouse ETP sludge to enhance biogas production from anaerobic digestion. EF-oxidation experiments were conducted in 0.5 L beakers with mild-steel electrodes, to study the effect of factors, viz., H2O2 concentration, current density and reaction time on soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) concentration, soluble extracellular polymeric substances (sEPS) concentration and volatile suspended solids (VSS) removal efficiency. This was followed by the quantification of biogas production from the raw and pretreated sludge in anaerobic digestion (AD). Experimental conditions for the EF process were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). At optimized experimental conditions, EF pretreatment resulted in an increase in sCOD and sEPS concentrations, from 0.91 g/L to 6.1 g/L and 0.18 g/L to 1.4 g/L, respectively. VSS removal efficiency was 68.1%. Batch anaerobic digestion studies demonstrated an enhancement in the specific biogas yield, from 110 NmL/g-VS to 460 NmL/g-VS.
