This study investigates the effect of alkyl polyglycosides (APG) on hydrogen production from excess sludge and plant waste. The results show that APG can increase hydrogen yield, with a recommended dosage of 0.15 g/g. APG promotes the dissolution, hydrolysis, and acidification of complex organic matter, leading to higher concentrations of dissolved chemical oxygen demand (COD) and improved output of volatile fatty acids (VFA). Additionally, APG reduces hydrogen consumption and accumulates hydrogen, providing an alternative strategy for organic waste recycling and enhanced hydrogen generation.
Alkyl polyglycosides (APG), a biodegradable biosurfactant, have been widely used in environmental pollution control. However, the application of APG to enhance anaerobic dark fermentation of excess sludge (ES) and plant waste (PW) to improve hydrogen production has not been reported so far. In order to fill this gap, the effect of APG on hydrogen production from ES and PW was studied in mesophilic (30 degrees C) environment. The results showed that APG increased the yield of hydrogen, and the recommended dose was 0.15 g/g (calculated as volatile suspended solids), accompanied by 18.7 mL/g. The contribution of APG self-degradation to hydrogen can be ignored. Mechanism investigation revealed that APG promoted the dissolution, hydrolysis, and acidification of complex organic matter, and when the content of APG was 0.15 g/g, the concentration of dissolved chemical oxygen demand (COD) was as high as 3151 mg/L; however, the dissolved concentration of COD in the blank group was only 1548 mg/L. In addition, APG improved the output of volatile fatty acids (VFA). APG promoted the proportion of acetate and butyrate in VFA, which was conducive to hydrogen production. As for the process of methanogenesis, APG reduced the consumption of hydrogen and accumulates hydrogen. This work provides an alternative strategy for the recycling of organic waste and the enhanced generation of hydrogen.
