Description        

Anaerobic digestion's limited range of applications has always been hampered by its low efficiency and instability. The anaerobic digester is inhibited and acidified as a result of the accumulation of volatile fatty acids. Under normal conditions, the endergonic conversion of some VFAs to acetate, CO2, and H2 is difficult to spontaneously occur in the AD system. As a result, AD's rate-limiting step is thought to be the degradation of VFAs. Studies demonstrated that bacteria and methanogens could work together synergistically to degrade VFAs.

In order to boost AD's effectiveness, it is necessary to gain a clear understanding of the syntrophic methanogenesis mechanism and optimize syntrophic metabolism of VFAs' processes. Syntrophic methanogens and metabolism pathways, biochemical reactions, microorganism characteristics, substrate oxidation, and electron transfer in syntrophic methanogenesis were all covered in this review, which summarized their roles in the AD process. There was a comprehensive and in-depth description of the primary forms and mechanisms of interspecies electron transfer. The review also provided a summary of the process control and optimization of VFA syntrophic metabolism for increasing syntrophic methanogenesis’s effectiveness.

A deeper comprehension of syntrophic metabolism efficiency enhancement in the AD system is provided by this review. Syntrophic systems contain bacteria from all over the microbial world, not just from a specific phylogenetic group of microorganisms. Microorganisms fill in unadulterated culture utilized sugars, amino acids, and natural acids as the substrates. As the electron acceptor for NADH oxidation, these substrates can be oxidized into carbonyl compounds like pyruvate or acetaldehyde. Methanogenesis has always been regarded as an AD rate-limiting step due to the energetically advantageous oxidation of NADH and reduction of carbonyl compounds. The syntrophic conservation of VFAs was found to be an important rate-limiting step as our knowledge of syntrophic bacteria's metabolic process grew. In order to increase AD effectiveness, syntrophic bacteria and methanogen as a whole must be analyzed.

Running Period of Four Anaerobic Digestion Systems

 This study sought to evaluate the effects of typical exogenous materials addition on the performances of kitchen waste thermophilic anaerobic digestion in a semi-continuous system, as syntrophic metabolism of VFAs is mediated by anaerobic microorganisms. Using a microbiological approach, the expression of important enzymes in methanogenesis was demonstrated, and the regulating effects of Fe and C addition on the methanogenic metabolism pathway were specifically investigated. The running period of four anaerobic digestion systems lasted 120 days and was divided into four stages based on organic loading rates. According to the findings of this study, the addition of Fe facilitated the subsequent degradation of volatile fatty acids, while the addition of C enhanced hydrolase activities, soluble protein concentrations, and soluble total organic carbon concentrations. The resulting increase in average methane yields was from, respectively. C addition increased the relative abundances of hydrolytic bacteria in microbial communities, while Fe addition realized the directional enrichment of Methano thermobacter and raised the ratios of hydro geostrophic methanogenesis from 30.81 percent to 64.40 percent. Fe addition enhanced the syntrophic acetic acid oxidation and hydrogen trophic methanogenesis pathway, realizing the conversion of the dominant methanogenic metabolism pathway from aceticlastic methanogenesis to hydrogen trophic methanogenesis, as indicated by the expression of key enzymes in methanogenic metabolism pathways. The results of this study will shed light on the behaviors of conductive materials during the thermophilic digestion of kitchen waste, which is extremely important. One important technology for a highly efficient coal-based energy system is sulfur removal from hot coal gas. This study looked at how Ni-doped ZnO-based sorbents supported on SBA-15 absorbed H2S and behaved during oxidation and regeneration. When used for desulfurization at 500 °C, the results show that has the highest H2S-uptake capacity and produces the least COS Sorbents’ have the lowest breakthrough sulfur capacity when H2S is removed at 700 °C. It is attributed to the loss of SBA-15's typical microscopic morphology. The H2S-absorption behavior can be modeled using the Boltzmann function.H2S-CO2 reactions both contribute to the formation of COS at the stage of H2S-absorption saturation and the evolution rate of H2S for sorbents varies from. The regenerated ZnNi or SBA-15 begins to vanish at temperatures between 550 and 600 °C. In addition, after regeneration at 600 °C, the majority of the plugged pore structure caused by the sulfidation reaction could be restored. Regeneration efficiency decreases and the sorbent become less porous as regeneration temperature rises further. Additionally, during multiple sulfidation-regeneration cycles, the sorbents exhibit stable desulfurization capability and low COS emission.

Conductive Materials during the Thermophilic Digestion

 With urine or feces, up to 95% of hormones are excreted into household wastewater, but their macromolecules are difficult to biodegrade. This project investigates a novel approach for oriented bio-feeding to regulate the anaerobic biodegradation process and the treatment of ethinyl estradiol in swine wastewater in an Upstream Solids Reactor. Changes in EE2 content were found to accompany the metabolism of propionic acid and lactic acid; however, since lactic acid molecules were not readily bioavailable, adding propionic acid was preferable. However, the removal of EE2 was hindered by the inhibition of further fermentation of acetic acid and propionic acid by adjusting the pH to lower or higher values. This is simply because the microbes' preference for consuming EE2 is altered when propionic acid is used as a carbon source. The following was the order in which the removal of EE2 was affected by the addition of propionic acid: From 60% to 85%, the removal efficiency increased. Dienoic acid and oleic acid were produced in the metabolism of EE2 following oxidation, hydrolysis, ketosis, hydroxylation, and enzymatic action. There was no secondary pollution from EE2 metabolites. In feeding microorganism’s propionic acid can boost EE2's anaerobic biodegradation, offering a novel approach for the bioremediation of refractory pollutants.
