ABSTRACT
Anaerobic digestion of food waste can recover carbon in the form of biogas, while the high concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the digestion effluent becomes troublesome. Therefore, some new treatment plants use three-phase centrifugation to separate homogenized food waste into nitrogen-rich fine slag for insect cultivation and carbon-rich liquid for anaerobic digestion. To analyze the effects of the carbon-nitrogen separation, an upgraded plant's material and elementary flows were investigated. The three-phase separation process redistributed carbon and nitrogen, and the biogas slurry was the primary output. The principal endpoint for C was the crude oil, capturing 57.1 ± 13.1 % of the total input; the find slag collected 48.3 ± 6.9 % of the total N input, and the biogas slag accepted 52.9 ± 4.4 % of the P input. The carbon-nitrogen separation strategy can improve digestion efficiency and increase treatment benefits significantly, marking a promising direction for future developments in food waste utilization.
