Abstract

Effects of salt on anaerobic digestion are dosage-dependent. As salt is a widely used condiment in food processing, effects of salt are bound to be considered when food waste is digested. In this study, salt addition effects (0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 g∙L −1 ) on biogas and methane yields and kinetics of biogas production were researched. Meanwhile, component characteristics (food waste featured in carbohydrate, protein and fat, respectively) and fermentation concentrations (5 and 8 gVS∙L −1 ) were also taken into consideration. Results showed that 2–4 g∙L −1 salt addition was the optimal addition dosage for AD systems as they not only have the maximum biogas and methane yields, but also the maximum vs. removal in most cases. Also, according to the results of a modified Gompertz model, which is used to predict biogas and methane production rates, suitable salt addition can accelerate biogas production, improving the maximum biogas production rate ( R max ). Factorial design (2 × 2) proved that interaction of salt and fermentation concentrations was significant for food waste featured with carbohydrate and with protein ( p < 0.05). High salt addition and fermentation concentration can break the AD system when the feeding material was food waste featured with carbohydrate, but for food waste featured with protein, interaction of fermentation concentrations and salt addition can alleviate inhibition degrees.
