ResumenLa digestión anaerobia es un proceso ampliamente utilizado para el tratamiento de los lodos producidos en las plantas de tratamiento de agua residual, debido a sus ventajas técnicas y económicas. Este artículo presenta un estudio en el que se evaluó la co-digestión de lodos de aguas residuales con residuos de alimentos (RA) como una estrategia para optimizar la digestión de los lodos. Se realizaron mono-digestiones y co-digestiones de los sustratos en condiciones mesofílicas (35°C) usando reactores por lotes. Los lodos utilizados fueron: lodo primario (LP), lodo secundario espesado (LSE) y una mezcla de LP con LSE en la proporción 60:40 con base en sólidos totales (LP:LSE). Las co-digestiones se realizaron usando distintas proporciones de mezclas de los sustratos con base en sólidos volátiles totales: LP:RA=30:70, LP:RA=50:50, LP:RA=70:30 y (LP+LSE):RA=70:30. La máxima producción de metano, 0,25LCH 4 /gSVadicionado, se obtuvo para la mezcla LP:RA=30:70, presentando una producción 32% mayor que la obtenida en la mono-digestión del lodo primario. Palabras clave: co-digestión, producción de metano, lodo primario, lodo secundario espesado, residuos de alimentos. AbstractAnaerobic digestion is a process widely used for the treatment of sludge generated during wastewater treatment, due to its technical and economic advantages. This paper presents a study in which the co-digestion of sewage sludge with food waste (FW) was evaluated as a strategy for optimizing the digestion of sludge. Mono-digestions and co-digestions of the substrates were performed under mesophilic conditions (35°C) using batch reactors. The sludge used were: primary sludge (PS), thickened secondary sludge (TSS), and a mixture of PS with TSS in a ratio 60:40 based on total solids (PS:TSS). The co-digestions were performed using different ratios of mixtures of the substrates based on total volatile solids: PS:FW=30:70, PS:FW=50:50, PS:FW=70:30 y (PS+TSS):FW=70:30. The maximum methane yield, 0,25LCH 4 /gVSadded, was obtained for the mixture PS:FW=30:70, showing a yield 32% higher than the one obtained in the mono-digestion of PS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
