Thermal hydrolysis (TH) has been used to improve anaerobic digestion performance as well as the stability of heavy metals in sludge. Because the toxicity of heavy metals is closely related to both the concentration and the chemical speciation, more exhaustive studies on speciation distribution are urgently needed. This research aimed to investigate the effects of TH treatment (especially the time and temperature) on the concentration and stability of heavy metals in sludge, and to define the optimal TH conditions. The TH experiment indicated that the content of the stable form of Cu and Zn reached 83% and 47.4%, respectively, with TH at 210°C and 30 min. Compared with the raw sludge, the proportion of Cu and Zn increased by 11.88% and 7.3%, respectively. Results indicated that the heavy metals were combined with sludge in a more stable form with the pretreatment of TH, which improved the stability of heavy metals.

Thermal Phenomena

Feasibility of anaerobic digestion of pig slurry is dependent, among other factors, on the biogas production rate, which is low compared with other organic wastes, and on the profitable uses of surplus thermal energy produced, a limiting factor in warm geographical areas. The objectives of this work are determining whether low temperature thermal pretreatment (<90°C) improves pig slurry anaerobic digestion, and determining whether organic matter degradation during the thermal pretreatment is due to thermal phenomena (80°C) or to enzymatic ones (60°C). The thermal degradation tests showed that hydrolysis occurring during the thermal pretreatment is due to thermal phenomena. The increase in soluble substances were significantly larger at 80°C than at 60°C (both during 3 h). Two types of slurry were used in the batch anaerobic digestion tests. The effect of thermal pretreatment differed with the type of slurry: it was positive with almost non-degraded slurries containing low NH4+-N concentration, and negative (inhibition of the anaerobic digestion process) when using degraded slurries with high NH4+-N content.
