Abstract
This study presents the effect of mechanical, chemical, thermal, and hybrid pretreatment on anaerobic digestion of fruit-juice industrial waste (FW) co-digested with municipal sewage sludge (MSS). The pretreatment of the substrates with ultrasonication, microwave, weak alkali-acid caused an increase in cumulative biogas production of approximately 20.9, 14.9, 8.1, and 5.2%, respectively. Beside this, thermal and strong acid-alkali pretreatment reduced biogas production. The highest cumulative biogas and methane yield was increased with hybrid pretreatment which contains ultrasonication (US) and alkali (AL) pretreatment by 36% and 49%, respectively. Also, compared to untreated mixture, the soluble COD, carbohydrate, and protein removal efficiencies were increased from 42.6% to 65.6%, 65.1% to 86.6%, and 17.3% to 62.4%, respectively for US-AL pretreatment. The kinetic parameters of cumulative biogas production for the selected reactors were further estimated with Monod, Cone, and Transference Function models.
