Analysis and treatment of cellulosic fuel ethanol wastewater
Currently, technologies of ethanol production from inexpensive lignocellulosic biomass (i.e corn stover) are gradually shifted into the industrialization due to the ever-increasing demand of fuel ethanol. Hence, treatment of wastewater from cellulosic ethanol production is a feasible solution. A cellulosic ethanol pilot plant with a processing capability of 500 t/a, which use acid pretreated corn stover as substrate, has been built in COFCO, Zhaodong, China in 2006. The wastewater from the plant was analyzed and two-phase anaerobic (CSTR+EGSB) -aerobic (SBR) process was designed to treat this wastewater in this study. The wastewater quality analysis followed the Chinese National Standard, and the suspended substances ( SS ) in the wastewater were around 187060 mg/L, chemical oxygen demands ( COD ) were around 294129 mg/L. biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) were around 115444 mg/L, pH was around 4.17, total salinity (TDS) was around 82677 mg/L. 64 kinds of volatile organic compounds, most of which were organic acids, were detected in the waste water according to the results of qualitative analysis by full-scan GC-MS. The biological wastewater treatment reactors were run for 81 days. The total COD removal rate can be reached to around 80％ with the inflow of 8.64L/d and the inlet COD around 8000 mg/L. According to the results the water is a kind of high concentrated organic wastewater with high salinity, the relative lower removal rate of COD may be caused by high salinity.
