  • 本研究涵蓋厭氧生物對葡萄糖(glucose)與蛋白胨(peptone)產氫動力探討,醋酸與溫度對厭氧生物產氫的影響,與啟動厭氧生物產氫發酵槽,並探討三種不同薄膜對厭氧產氫發酵槽操作的影響。三種薄膜包括:以全蒸發膜分離氫氣,降低醱酵槽氫分壓以促進產氫,以微過濾膜回收產氫菌增加產氫發酵槽的功能;以電透析膜分離醋酸與氨氮降低抑制性,利於厭氧生物產氫,同時減少醱酵液中氨氮對後續厭氧光合產氫菌的抑制,進一步被厭氧光合產氫菌利用產生氫氣。
    氫氣、二氧化碳、乙酸、丁酸與乙醇是厭氧氫醱酵的主要產物,過度累積將減緩產氫效率與產氫菌生長,如能快速將生成物分離將有助於生物產氫。在批次厭氧產氫試驗,基質產氫率與產物生成的比例受基質與微生物濃度 (So/Xo) 比值的影響。當 So/Xo 比值從 5 增加到333 g COD/g VSS,醱酵產物中的丙酸與甲酸減少, 但是乙酸、丁酸與乙醇增加。 使用強化產氫培養的污泥對葡萄糖的產氫率比使用熱處理的後的產氫污泥為高,產氫速率與基質濃度有關,呈現Monod 經驗式的關係。同樣對peptone 進行批次厭氧產氫試驗,單位peptone的產氫率較葡萄糖為低,但是微生物增殖率較葡萄糖為高。
    研究乙酸對厭氧生物產氫的影響發現,在中性pH下乙酸高達2,500 mg/L,只有輕微的影響產氫量與產氫速率。當pH在5時,乙酸非常明顯產生抑制作用降低基質產氫率與減少產氫速率。使用吸附劑(γ-alumina) 可以減少溶液中分子態乙酸增加產氫速率。在溫度影響方面,高溫厭氧產槽(thermophilic anaerobic hydrogen fermentor , TAHF, 55±2 oC)的基質產氫率為 8.4 mmol H2/g COD ,高於中溫厭氧氫醱酵槽(mesophilic anaerobic hydrogen fermentation, MAHF, 35±2 oC)的基質產氫率 5.6 mmol H2/g COD。高溫厭氧產槽的比產氫速率(specific H2-producing rate) 為7.1 mmol H2/g VSS-hr 也高於中溫厭氧氫醱酵槽的比產氫速率(5.8 mmol H2/g VSS-hr)。中溫厭氧醱酵液相產物以乙酸與丁酸居多,而高溫厭氧醱酵以乙醇與乙酸居多。
    研究啟動厭氧產氫槽,以厭氧產甲烷污泥床的顆粒污泥為植種源,在35oC批次培養中添加 28 mg/L 的氯仿(chloroform)於植種污泥中,成功抑制甲烷菌活性,基質產氫率為1.48 mmol H2 /g peptone。因此,可使用氯仿經由批次或半批次培養啟動產氫槽。厭氧產甲烷污泥床的顆粒污泥也是具有很好產氫活性的植種菌源。
    將產氫反應槽裝設全蒸發薄膜(pervaporation membrane),可迅速將氫氣分離。氣體的質傳係數與薄膜之cross-flow velocity成正比,亦即利用中空纖維膜的表面切線速度可以增加質傳效率。當斷面流速增加, CO2質傳係數由0.81×10-7 增加至 3.19×10-7 cm/sec-KPa, H2 的質傳係數由0.55×10-8 升高至1.96×10-8 cm/sec-KPa。就矽膠膜的質傳特性而言,二氧化碳質傳速率大於氫氣的質傳速率。實驗結果顯示,降低H2與CO2的分壓增加10% 的產氫速率與15%.的基質產氫率。
    研究以微過濾薄膜(microfiltration membrane)進行高溫厭氧產氫槽回收產氫菌體,薄膜反應槽確實能達到污泥截留之功能,有效提昇反應槽中污泥濃度由 500 mg/L 增加至 5,200 mg VSS/L。厭氧產氫槽採用混合菌種發酵蔗糖與蛋白胨的複合基質,在55oC與體積負荷80 g COD/L-day條件下,反應槽最大的產氫為28 mmol H2/L-hr,比產氫速率為4.6 mmol H2/g VSS-hr,基質產氫率為8.41 mmol H2/g COD。當食微比在4 到 16 g COD/g VSS-day之間,產氫速率與食微比成正比。 厭氧產氫槽體積負荷由20 升高至 80 g COD/L-day時,丁酸濃度也從50 升高至 2,800 mg/L。雖然高污泥量會降低產氫速率,但對於反應槽的穩定卻是有幫助的,這也是薄膜反應槽優於CSTR 反應槽的優點之一。
    利用電透析的原理將厭氧產生成的產物(包含揮發酸與氨),藉帶電荷不同經由陰陽離子交換膜,予以分離,可以降低發酵液體中產物抑制的情形。研究顯示在電透析反應槽中不同的停留時間與端電壓,影響液相中有機酸與氨氮的分離效果。當HRT愈長分離效果愈好,在兩小時的HRT已經有70%的分離效果。同樣的電壓愈高分離效果也愈好。因此以電透析膜分離醱酵產物中的乙酸與氨氮是具有可行性。

    This research includes to investigate biokinetics of hydrogen fermentation in glucose and peptone and effects of acetate and temperature in hydrogen fermentation, and to start up a fermentative hydrogen reactor using a granular sludge as seeding sludge, as well as to investigate effects of three types of membranes installed with a hydrogen fermentor. The membranes include a pervaporation membrane to separate H2 to reduce hydrogen partial pressure, and a microfiltration membrane to recover biomass, and an electrodialysis membrane to separate fermented products.
    Hydrogen, volatile acids, ammonium and alcohol are products of hydrogen fermentation. The products will retard the growth and metabolism of cells to decrease hydrogen production, once they accumulate in the reactor. If they can be separated immediately, hydrogen production can increase significantly. Hydrogen yield is also affected by the ratio of substrate and biomass concentrations in batch fermentation of glucose. The portions of fermentation products are also varied with the ratios. When the So/Xo escalates from 5 to 333, the portions of propionate and formate decrease, but the acetate, butyrate and ethanol increase. Hydrogen yields of glucose fermentation using enhanced sludge exceed that of using preheated sludge. Hydrogen-producing rates are correlated with the concentrations of glucose, and hence they can be depictured with Monod equation. Hydrogen fermentation of peptone has a less hydrogen yield but a higher growth yield than glucose based on one gram of substrate.
    Investigation of factors affecting anaerobic hydrogen production shows that acetate affects biohydrogen production slightly at neutral pH, but it significantly depresses the hydrogen-producing rate and hydrogen yield at pH 5. To useγ-alumina as an absorbent in serum bottles to decrease volatile acids in bulk solution can enhance hydrogen-producing rate and yield for peptone and. However, to remove the acids of bulk solution immediately could promote the hydrogen production rates. The thermophilic anaerobic hydrogen fermentor (TAHF, 55±2 oC ) obtained a hydrogen yield of 8.4 mmol H2/g COD larger than 5.6 mmol H2/g COD of the mesophilic anaerobic hydrogen fermentation (MAHF, 35±2 oC). The specific H2-producing rate of 7.1 mmol H2/g VSS-hr of the TAHF bioreactor exceeds 5.8 mmol H2/g VSS-hr of MAHF. The recovery of electron flow is 88.7% in converting one gram of substrate in the TAHF bioreactor, and 73.2 % in the MAHF bioreactor. Acetic acid and butyric acid predominated in the MAHF bioreactor, but ethanol and acetic acid predominated in the TAHF. The thermophilic bioreactor achieves higher specific H2-producting rates and hydrogen yields.
    Investigating hydrogen production of granular sludge via inhibition of methanogensis shows that 28 mg/L of chloroform in the mixed liquor of 10 g VSS/L was effective in inhibiting methanogenic activity in batch incubation at 35oC. No methane was produced from the bottle with adding of chloroform and the hydrogen yield was 1.48 mmol H2 /g peptone. Batch incubation with chloroform and semi-batch running for start-up might demolish the methanogens. Consequently, the vital anaerobic granular sludge from a UASB reactor can be used as a good source of hydrogen-fermentation consortia.
    This investigation examines the effectiveness of a silicone rubber membrane to separate biogas from the liquid medium in the hydrogen fermentation reactor. When the culture liquid circulates through the shell side of the hollow fibers, the biogas diffuses into the lumen of the hollow fibers and is removed by a vacuum pump. When the cross flow velocity along the module increases, the CO2 mass transfer coefficient increases from 0.81×10-7 to 3.19×10-7 cm/sec-KPa, and the H2 mass transfer coefficient increases from 0.55×10-8 to 1.96×10-8 cm/sec-KPa. The mass transfer coefficients of CO2 and H2 are directly proportional to the cross flow velocity. However, silicone rubber effectively reduces the biogas partial pressure in the hydrogen fermentor, and improves the hydrogen- producing rate by 10% and the hydrogen yield by 15%.
    Using a microfiltration membrane to recover cells of hydrogen-producing bacteria succeeds to accumulate biomass from 500 mg/L to 5,200 mg VSS/L. The fermentor employed mix-cultured consortia to ferment multiple substrate including peptone and glucose at 55oC. The maximum H2-producing rate is 28 mmol H2/L-hr and the maximum specific H2-producing rate is 4.6 mmol H2/g VSS-hr when the fermentor was operated at more than 80 g COD/L-day. The hydrogen yield is 8.41 mmol H2/g COD. Excepting H2, the other fermented products included acetic acid, butyric acid, and ethanol. The concentration of butyric acid increased from 50 to 2,800 mg/L when the loading increased from 20 to 80 g COD/L-day. The results show that specific H2-producing rates directly proportion to F/M ratios from 4 to 8 g COD/g VSS-day.
    Using an electrodialysis membrane succeeds to separate acetate and ammonium. The removal of acetate reaches 70% at a HRT of 2 hr. When the HRT is longer than 2 hr, it will attain higher efficiency in separating acetate as well as ammonium. The voltage of the electrodialysis cell significantly determines the efficiency of separation, too. High voltage achieves a high efficiency of separation. The parameters of HRT and voltage govern the separation, and the results shows the possibilities of separation acetate and ammonium with an electrodialysis membrane.
