RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Enhancement of swine manure anaerobic digestion using membrane-based NH3 extraction A1 Rivera Mejía, Fanny Maritza A1 Villareal, Luis A1 Prádanos del Pico, Pedro Lourdes A1 Hernández Giménez, Antonio A1 Palacio Martínez, Laura A1 Muñoz Torre, Raúl K1 Ammonia K1 Amoniaco K1 Anaerobic digestion K1 Digestión anaeróbica K1 Biogas K1 Biogás K1 Bioreactors K1 Biorreactores AB The influence of suspended solids and pH in anaerobically digested piggery wastewater on membrane-based NH3 extraction was evaluated in batch tests. The increase in pH in the anaerobic broth from 8 to 9 resulted in an increase in NH3 removal efficiencies from 15.8 % ± 0.1 % to 20.9 % ± 0.4 % regardless of the suspended solids. The influence of membrane based NH3 extraction on piggery wastewater treatment was also assessed in a CSTR interconnected with PTFE membrane modules. The decrease in TKN concentrations mediated by membrane operation induced an increase in CH4 yield from 380.4 ± 84.9 up to 566.1 ± 7.8 NmLCH4 g VS fed−1. Likewise, COD and VS removal efficiencies significantly increased from 33.0 % ± 2.0 % and 25.7 % ± 2.3 % up to 61.8 % ± 1.3 % and 37.9 % ± 1.8 %, respectively. Interestingly, the decrease in NH3 concentration entailed a complete assimilation of VFA.
