Abstract

In this study, a high frequency monitoring method was used to assess how semi-continuous feeding affects H2S production in high solid anaerobic digestion. The results showed that H2S characteristics at a monitoring frequency of 1 point/3 h were different to that of 1 point/24 h, its concentration decreased from 3449 ± 227 mg/m3 at 0 h to 298 ± 45 mg/m3 at 3 h. H2S concentration was negatively correlated with volatile fatty acids (VFAs), and oxidation reduction potential (ORP). 72–82% of H2S reduction in the first 3 h resulted from the introduction of O2 during feeding, and 18–28% of that was closely related to the production of a large quantity of soluble acidic matter, such as VFAs. A more accurate H2S release model was established according to the content of VFAs. Totally, this study implies that feed carrying air is a promising method for in situ control of H2S production in anaerobic digestion.Graphical
