| Abstract | Membrane contactor is a promising technology for ammonia recovery from the anaerobic digestion centrate. However, high suspended solids and dissolved organic matter concentrations can reduce the effectiveness of the technology. In this study, coagulation-flocculation (C/F) and aeration pre-treatments were evaluated to reduce chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity, suspended solids and alkalinity before the ammonia recovery stage using a membrane contactor. The mass transfer coefficient (Km) and total ammonia (TAN) recovery efficiency of the membrane contactor increased from 7.80 x 10(-7) to 1.04 x 10(-5) m/s and from 8 to 67%, respectively, after pre-treating the real sidestream centrate. The pre-treatment results showed that dosing aluminium sulphate (Al-2(SO4)(3)) at 30 mg Al/L was the best strategy for the C/F process, providing COD, turbidity and TSS removal efficiencies of 50 +/- 5, 95 +/- 3 and 90 +/- 4%, respectively. The aeration step reduced 51 +/- 6% the HCO3- content and allowed reducing alkaline consumption by increasing the pH before the membrane contactor. The techno-economic evaluation showed that the combination of C/F, aeration and membrane contactor can be economically feasible for ammonia recovery. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that C/F and aeration are simple and effective techniques to improve membrane contactor performance for nitrogen recovery from the anaerobic digestion centrate. |
