Abstract
The accumulation of organic waste, including by-products of animal husbandry and food waste, is a serious environmental problem, and at the same time, organic waste is a major source of renewable energy. For the disposal of organic waste, an experimental setup for two-stage anaerobic bioconversion of organic waste was developed within the framework of the RSF project No. 22-49-02002 (https://rscf.ru/project/22-49-02002/) to produce biohydrogen at the stage of dark fermentation and biomethane at the stage of methanogenesis. This study is aimed at assessing the effect of using a microbial electrolysis cell on the intensity of biomethane production from the effluent of a dark fermentation reactor during two-stage anaerobic digestion of a food waste model pretreated in an ABC. According to the obtained data, the use of a microbial electrolysis cell in a two-stage anaerobic digestion system of a food waste model pretreated in an ABC allows to increase the yield of gaseous hydrogen carriers in the form of biomethane by 57% with a potential difference on the MEY electrodes of 1,2 V. The energy contribution of dark fermentation to the total volumetric energy yield was 58.8-66.2%. Thus, the use of a microbial electrolysis cell with a potential difference of 1,2 V allows to increase the energy yield of the two-stage anaerobic digestion system of a food waste model pretreated in an ABC by 33%.
