Resumo
Neste trabalho, avaliou-se a eficiência do tratamento de águas residuárias do beneficiamento de café por via úmida em reatores anaeróbios de fluxo ascendente com manta de lodo (UASB), em dois estágios, em escala de bancada, submetidos a tempos de detenção hidráulica (TDH) de 4,0; 5,2 e 6,2 dias e cargas orgânicas volumétricas (COV) de 5,8; 3,0 e 3,6 g DQO total (L d)-1, no primeiro reator (R1), e TDH de 2,0; 2,6 e 3,1 dias e COV de 5,8; 0,5 e 0,4 g DQO total (L d)-1, no segundo reator (R2). Os valores médios de DQO do afluente variaram de 15.440 a 23.040 mg O2 L-1. As eficiências médias de remoção de DQO total e SST foram de 66 a 98% e de 93 a 97%, respectivamente, nos reatores UASB, em dois estágios. O teor médio de metano no biogás variou de 69 a 89%, no reator R1, e de 52 a 73%, no reator R2. A produção volumétrica máxima de metano de 0,708 L CH4 (L reator d)-1 foi obtida com COV de 3,6 g DQO (Ld)-1 e TDH de 6,2 d, no reator R1. Os valores médios de pH variaram de 4,7 a 7,7 e de 4,9 a 8,0 nos efluentes dos reatores R1 e R2, respectivamente. As concentrações de ácidos voláteis totais nos efluentes mantiveram-se estáveis com valores inferiores a 100 mg L-1, com TDH de 5,2 e 6,2 dias, no reator R1, e TDH de 2,6 e 3,1 dias, no reator R2. As concentrações médias de fenóis totais no afluente variaram de 80 a 97 mg L-1 e as eficiências médias de remoção nos reatores UASB, em dois estágios, foram de 72 a 90%.
In this work, it was evaluated the efficiency of two stage up flow anaerobic sludge blanquet (UASB) reactors, in bench scale, treating a liquid effluent from the coffee pulping, submitted to hydraulic detention time (HDT) of 4.0; 5.2 and 6.2 days, resulting in organic loading rate (OLR) of 5.8; 3.6 and 3.0 g COD (L d)-1 in the first reactor (R1) and HDT of 2.0; 2.6 and 3.1 days with OLR of 5.8; 0.5 and 0.4 g DQO total (L d)-1 in the second reactor (R2). The medium values of total COD affluent varied from 15,440 to 23,040 mg O2 L-1. The medium values of removal efficiencies of total COD and TSS varied from 66 to 98% and 93 to 97%, respectively, in the system of treatment with the UASB reactors in two stages. The content of methane in the biogas varied from 69 to 89% in the R1 and from 52 to 73% in the R2. The maximum volumetric methane production of 0.708 L CH4 (L reactor d)-1 was obtained with OLR of 3.6 g total COD (Lreactor d)-1 and HDT of 6.2 days in the R1. Average pH values ranged from 4.7 to 7.7 and 4.9 to 8.0 in the effluents of R1 and R2, respectively. Total volatile acids concentrations was kept below 100 mg L-1 with HDT of 5.2 and 6.2 days in the R1 and HDT of 2.6 and 3.1 days in the R2. The medium values of total phenols of affluent ranged from 80 to 97 mg L-1 and the average removal efficiencies ranged from 72 to 90% in the UASB reactors in two stages.
