This investigation explores the effects of integrating acid-alkali treated biochar into anaerobic digestion chicken manure. Digesters containing manure with addition exhibited an 8.4-fold improvement in methane production compared to untreated digesters. In addition, porous structure promoted microbial acclimation, facilitated direct interspecies electron transfer, and provided anchoring points for immobilisation. Anaerobic digesters amended also demonstrated increased chemical oxygen demand removal, up 81.8 %, maintained lower total ammonia concentrations (2,478 mg/L) levels control reactors (4418 mg/L). terms community, propidium monoazide minimised errors live population estimation, providing new insights capacity shield microbes from stress.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been recognized as one of the most viable options for treatment a wide range waste materials. Complex structure wastes is safely broken down to destroy pollutants and pathogens. Biogas produced by-product this process which considered clean energy resource. However, provision controlled environment microbial activities critical ensure required efficiency. This can only be achieved with efficient design vessels used anaerobic digestion, termed AD reactors. functions such mixing, hydrodynamics, multiphase interaction, heat transfer, temperature distribution bio kinetics are significantly affected by reactor shape, configurations, hence making it essential optimize before installation at large scale. Mostly, optimization carried out help lab scale experimentations testing protocols result in high costs repeating several experiments. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) an applied mathematical tool helps understand predict dynamics, flow well species transport different domains. approach contributes minimize experimental while optimizing configurations less time. The current review presented summarize discuss core characteristics followed concerned CFD attributes. Research gaps challenges identified aspects design, configuration, flow, biokinetics machine learning approaches.

Fe/Co-modified Enteromorpha bio-hydrochar enhanced anaerobic digestion of chicken manure with sulfadimethazine: focusing on synergistic mechanism and microbial community succession

Biochar, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 6(1)

Опубликована: Ноя. 11, 2024

Abstract Residual antibiotics in chicken manure may interfere with the stability of anaerobic digestion (AD) and inhibit resource utilization efficiency. In this study, we aimed to enhance bio-methanation AD high-concentration sulfamethazine (SMZ) by adding metal (Fe, Co)-modified Enteromorpha -based hydrochar (Co-HC, Fe-HC). The results showed that Fe-HC Co-HC increased degree acidogenesis 1.25 times 1.58 times, respectively. maximum protein concentration EPS was 47.64% 72.5% after Co-HC. However, only demonstrated notable improvements both methane production SMZ removal Electrochemical analysis possessed a richer variety oxygen nitrogen functional groups, along superior electron exchange capabilities compared Fe-HC. Furthermore, microbiological assessments revealed enriched syntrophic bacteria (such as Syntrophomonas Mesotoga ), facilitating direct interspecies transfer (DIET) subsequently enhancing biomethane production. abundance genes involved significantly Co-HC, increase 75.86% Co1.5-HC treatment. Additionally, elimination antibiotic resistance ( sul1 , sul2 ) 65.66% This study offers theoretical foundation empirical support for synergistic improvement livestock poultry containing high concentrations, thereby helping overcome challenges posed recalcitrant substances.

The physiochemical and biological properties of animal manures are crucial factors in resource utilization. Herein, the characteristics pig manure during anaerobic digestion sheep composting were investigated. rich heavy metals. Zn was most abundant metal, range 586.9–2069 mg/kg manures. After digestion, contents cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin increased by 59.97%, 6.90%, 171.81%, respectively, while NH4+-N, NO3−-N, total nitrogen, phosphorus, K decreased 5.50–48.27% manure. 20.56–61.82% after composting. all metals compost, especially content which 145.6%. Potential pathogenic bacteria including Pseudomonas, Clostridium sensu stricto 1, Acholeplasma, Tissierella, Halomonas Composting could inactivate well, a large number still remained digestate if solid retention time short digestion. findings would be helpful for understanding developing effective treatment utilization technologies.

The process of breaking down chicken manure through anaerobic digestion is an effective waste management technology. However, can be a challenging feedstock, causing ammonia stress and digester instability. This study examined the impacts adding wood biochar acid-alkali-treated to anaerobically digest under conditions inhibition. results highlighted that only addition 5 % by volume achieve cumulative methane production close typical potential range manure. treated also exhibited highest total nitrogen removal compared Control treatment. Scanning Electron Microscope revealed growing interactions between methanogens over time. Real-time polymerase chain reaction showed produced number bacterial biomass. In addition, 16S amplicon-based sequencing identified more robust archaeal community from addition. Overall, acid-alkali treatment represents method modifying improve its performance in digestion.
