Microwave radiation and reactor design influence microbial communities during methane fermentation

掲載誌: J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol 2012; 39 (9): 1397-1405

この研究は、メタン発酵の効率および微生物集団(特にメタン生成古細菌)の組成に対して、リアクタの設計および加熱方法がどのように影響するかを調べた。研究は、廃水処理用の浸漬型リアクタまたは散水床型リアクタで実施され、リアクタへの熱供給は、対流加熱法およびマイクロ波照射法を検討した。ポリメラーゼ連鎖反応PCR)−変性剤濃度勾配ゲル電気泳動法(DGGE法:変性剤の濃度勾配を利用してDNA断片を分離する方法)および相対的リアルタイムPCRを用いて、バイオフィルム集団を評価した。その結果、最高の発酵結果およびバイオマス中のメタン生成古細菌の最高量は、マイクロ波加熱を用いた散水床型リアクタで観察された、などの知見を報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To determine the effect of reactor design and method of heating on the efficiency of methane fermentation and composition of microbial communities, especially methanogenic Archae.

詳細情報

Methane fermentation is a process used to manage diversified industrial wastewater (removal of organic compounds) as well as biogas production. In this study, two different reactor types (trickling-bed reactor and submerge-bed reactor) were put in chambers, heated by microwaves or by hot air (control group).

チャンバの詳細 trickling-bed reactor or submerge-bed reactor with a diameter of 3 cm and a working volume of 0.5 l
ばく露装置の詳細 two reactors of each type were placed in a chamber; in the trickling-bed reactors, wastewater from retention tanks located below the reactor was pumped to the surface of the bed (down-flow); in the submerge-bed reactors, wastewater from the reservoir was pumped from the bottom of the bed and returned to the reservoir (up flow)
Additional information fermentation was carried out at 35 +/- 1.5 °C.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

In both fermenter types heated by microwaves, statistically significant higher values for biogas production were found compared to heating with hot air. The highest biogas production was observed in the trickling-bed reactor with microwave heating, while the highest diversity of methanogenic Archae was found in the microwave heated submerge-bed reactor.
The authors conclude that heating with microwaves increased the efficiency of methan fermentation.
