Résumé :
|
This research explored the effect of certain operational and environmental parameters on the acid-phase anaerobic digestion of primary municipal sludge. The operational parameters included the hydraulic retention time (HRT) and the solids retention time (SRT), while pH, reactor configuration and influent characteristics were the environmental factors of interest. Moreover, an attempt was made to identify the most significant metabolic pathways involved in the conversion of the major components of primary sludge (carbohydrates, proteins and lipids) to short-chain volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and other soluble en-products.
