Abstract
Study on Anaerobic Treatment of Effluent Obtained from
SCR Processing and Water Hyacinth
The preparation of biogas using anaerobic
fermentation of effluent obtained from Standard Chinese Rubber processing and
water hyacinth planted in an oxidation pond was studied. The results showed
that water hyacinth was a satisfactory raw material for the production of
biogas using fermentation method. In batch fermentation, a gram of dried water
hyacinth produced 0.3444 L biogas, of which the methane content was 62.6%. At
ambient temperature (27ºC ~ 34ºC), by mixing the pre-fermented water hyacinth
with effluent in a ration of 1:3 (calculated in COD), a gram of COD of the
mixture produced 0.556 L biogas (of which the methane content was 62.8%)
through continuous fermentation. The volume output of biogas was 1.78 L/(L. d).
This study provides an effective method for treating water hyacinth planted in
oxidation pond.
