The study was based on the inoculation of anaerobic granule sludge in anaerobic compartments and the installation of combination filler in aerobic compartments. The performance of reactor system was studied regarding the hydraulic retention time （HRT）, microbial characteristics and the gas water ratio （GWR）. When the HRT was 24h and the GWR was 20：1, total ammonia and chemical oxygen demand （COD） of the effluent were reduced by 99% and 91.8%, respectively. The reactor performed stably for treating decentralized molasses wastewater. The good performance of the reactor can be attributed to the high resistance of COD and hydraulic shock loads. In addition, the high solid retention time of contact oxidation biofilm contributed to stable performance of the reactor.展开更多

The ACR wasoperated at various volumetric loading rates (VLRs) of20-44 kgCOD·m^(-3)·d^(-1) with constant HRT of 6 h undermesophilic conditions of 35°C. The SRTwas maintained atabout 46-50 h in the system. At the initial VLR of20 kgCOD·m^(-3)·d^(-1), the hydrogen production rate droppedfrom 22.6 to 1.58 L·d^(-1) as the hydrogen was consumed bythe hydrogentrophic methanogen. After increasing theVLR to 28 kgCOD·m^(-3)·d^(-1) and discharging the sludge for6 consecutive times, the hydrogentrophic methanogenswere eliminated, and the hydrogen content reached 36.4%.As the VLR was increased to 44 kgCOD·m^(-3)·d^(-1), thehydrogen production rate and hydrogen yield increased to42.1 L·d^(-1) and 1.40 mol H2·molglucose-consumed^(-1),respectively. The results showed that a stable ethanoltypefermentation that favored hydrogen production inthe reactor was thus established with the sludgeloading rate (SLR) of 2.0-2.5 kgCOD·kgMLVSS-1·d^(-1).It was found that the ethanol increased more than otherliquid fermentation products, and the ethanol/acetic acid(mol/mol) ratio increased from 1.27 to 2.45 when the VLRincreased from 28 to 44 kgCOD·m^(-3)·d^(-1), whereas thehydrogen composition decreased from 40.4% to 36.4%.The results suggested that the anaerobic contact reactorwas a promising bioprocess for fermentative hydrogenproduction.展开更多
