| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this research is to reveal the mechanism of precipitation and dissolution in the anaerobic digester. To investigate the thixotropic behavior of high concentration anaerobic digested sludge, effecting the mixing of anaerobic digestion sludge for the reaction, a mathematical model was developed to express the thixotropic behavior, abatement and recovery caused by past shear application and rest. A laboratory scale experiment was also operated where Mg and Ca ions were added to the digester. Based on the solution’s thermodynamic equilibrium the data was analyzed to determine the change in precipitation complexes with elapsed time. The mathematical model that expresses anaerobic digestion and dissolution and precipitation of the inorganic component was constructed.
