Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is promising for treating waste with high moisture, such as municipal sludge, and producing biocrude (a petroleum-like biofuel). However, a large amount of wastewater byproduct, HTL aqueous, generated. The presence hazardous compounds (e.g., phenolic nitrogenous organics) makes aqueous the biggest bottleneck full-scale implementation at treatment plants. This study investigated adsorption various pollutants, focusing on chemical oxygen demand (COD), in to...
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a promising method for municipal sludge valorization through waste minimization and biofuel production. The process wastewater, HTL aqueous, presents significant challenge scale-up due to recalcitrant compounds. In this study, granular activated carbon (GAC) was used remove potential inhibitors from aqueous adsorption enhance aerobic anaerobic biological treatment. GAC removed up 61 % chemical oxygen demand (COD), 50 biochemical (BOD) inhibitors, such as...
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) aqueous phases derived from mixed sludge and digested of two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) were characterized considering variations in primary-secondary ratios, an aspect previously overlooked the literature. Mixed was obtained by mixing primary secondary to simulate high sludge, average, cases. Aerobic mesophilic/thermophilic anaerobic biodegradability tests conducted. Higher chemical oxygen demand, total ammonium-N, orthophosphate-P, fatty acids,...
