    Abstract:

    A batch experiment for hydrogen generation from apple waste and excess sludge by anaerobic digestion was conducted at the mesophilic temperature of 37 ℃ and with the initial pH of 8.0. Results showed that hydrogen yield was 11.5 mL/gVS and 8.6 mL/gVS with single-digestion of apple waste and excess sludge,respectively. The hydrogen yield of co-digestion group reached 16.9 mL/gVS,which was increased by 68.16% as compared with the calculated value of co-digestion group. The pH value of excess sludge group was the highest,while the SCOD of apple waste group was the highest.Values of pH and SCOD of co-digestion group were between those for two single-digestion groups due to the well-balanced nutrients of two organic wastes,and the strong buffer capacity of the reactor system. These indicated that co-digestion was not just the simple sum of the two organic matters,and there was a certain synergic effect in the co-digestion process,which made the hydrogen production efficiency of co-digestion group enhanced. In addition,the dehydrogenase activity of co-digestion group was significantly higher than that of apple waste group during the whole process. The dehydrogenase activity of co-digestion group maintained around 340 TFμg/(mL·h),with a maximum value of 384 TFμg/(mL·h).
