NOVELTY - Disclosed is a method to determine effect of bioaugmentation on the convertibility of anaerobically transformed intermediates of antibiotic pharmaceutical waste sludge into residuals and biocompost. Cephalosporin is a common name refers to cephradine (C16H19N3O4S) and cephalexin (C16H17N3O4S.H2O). The presence of cephalosporin in increased strength (chemical oxygen demand) of the effluent, indirectly increases cost of the treatment. Based on the critical examination, a biochemical pathway is determined to further degrade 7-amino-3-deacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA) and phenyl acetic acid to bioenergy residuals and recovery for reuse. Hence the biotransformation of cephalosporin either alone or in combination with other energetic compounds, offers potential for an economical and environmentally-friendly disposal alternative with bioenergy residuals recovery. The conventional treatment process is improved by adopting bioaumentation method for increased conversion to bioenergy residuals. The cephalosporin does not undergo either degradation or conversion into bioenergy residuals in conventional process, where it is converted into bioenergy residues in improved effluent treatment process.

The voltage electrolysis circuit set uses a buffering loop as the input ends for two poles of the electrolysis tank. For the two pole ends of the electrolysis tank electrically connected with the voltage electrolysis circuit, the anode end is a zinc oxide rod inserted into one end of the tank opposite to an oxygen outlet, and the cathode end is a carbon rod inserted into the other end of the tank opposite to a hydrogen outlet, wherein a water inlet is provided on the tank for receiving liquid. Thus, when the oxygen outlet and the hydrogen outlet of the electrolysis tank output oxygen (O2+O2) and hydrogen (2H2) to an internal combustion engine for producing energy by combustion, the zinc oxide rod of the electrolysis tank is used as the electrode to increase the amount of oxygen output and reduce zinc fuel rod, and the first and second infinite resonant cabins of the voltage electrolysis circuit produce resonance and damping effect to enable the electrolysis tank to utilize voltage electrolysis for producing gas in a power-efficient and low-temperature manner. Furthermore, the voltage electrolysis allows nonlinear control of the gas production, thereby increasing the performance of the internal combustion engine.
