Coupling hydrothermal carbonization with anaerobic digestion: an evaluation based on energy recovery and hydrochar utilization

Abstract: This work evaluates the effect of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) as a pretreatment and post-treatment technique to anaerobic digestion (AD) of dairy sludge. HTC's effect on AD was evaluated based on energy recovery, nutrient transformation, and hydrochar utilization. The first approach was executed by performing HTC under a range of temperatures before mesophilic AD. HTC optimal pretreatment temperature was 210 °C for 30 min residence time. HTC pretreatment significantly increased the methane yield potential… Show more

“…The evolved syngas can be used to synthesize liquid transportation fuels and fine valuable chemicals using chemical and biological routes. The generated hydrochar can be utilized for soil amendment, carbon sequestration, wastewater pollution remediation, and energy carriers production [223,224]. The main advantage of hydrothermal processing over other thermochemical methods is the lower emissions of harmful gases to the atmosphere (particularly SOX) [225].…”

“…Efficient management of organic waste is a global imperative, posing challenges to both environmental sustainability and resource utilization. Addressing this challenge, innovative approaches, such as the integration of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) with anaerobic digestion (AD), have been explored in recent studies (Li et al, 2023;Zhu et al, 2021;Al Ramahi et al, 2021). HTC, involving the carbonization of organic materials is a process where biodegradable wastes are treated in hot water at temperatures between 180 and 250 °C in closed reactors with residence times between 0.5 and 9 hours and steam pressures between 10 and 50 bar.…”
