Abstract:In order to increase the CH4 content in the biogas, the food waste was treated by high-solid anaerobic digestion, and the biogas was ex-suit upgraded through the metabolism of hydrogenotrophic methanogens by exogenous H2 injection. The gas composition in the coupling reaction was analyzed, the results showed that the content of CH4 and CO2 was 52.4% and 22.8% in the biogas produced from anaerobic digestion, respectively. The CH4 increased by 36.3% after biological upgrading, while CO2 decreased of 42.1%. H2 was consumed completely at the biogas upgrading stage, but 13.2% of CO2 was remained. The optimal injection gas ratio (H2∶CO2) in the upgrading stage was further studied. The CH4 yield, gas composition, H2 conversion rate and volatile fatty acids during the reaction process were indicated. The results showed that the H2∶CO2 injection gas ratio of 5∶1 was the optimum rate for biogas upgrading, the CH4 yield, CH4 content and H2 conversion rate were the highest of 693.7 mL·(L·d)?1, 69.4% and 98.7%, respectively. The optimum injection gas ratio was utilized to the coupling experiment, the volume rate of CH4, H2 and CO2 was 96.1%, 0.3% and 1.8%, respectively. The experiment results showed that biogas produced from anaerobic digestion can be upgraded to the biomethane when H2 and CO2 injection gas ratio was 5∶1. Key words:food waste/ anaerobic digestion/ biogas/ biological upgrading/ injection gas ratio.
