Nanobubble water (NBW) can improve methane production from anaerobic digestion (AD) of corn straw without causing secondary contamination. The addition of carbon dioxide nanobubble water (CO2-NBW) enhances methane production, promotes substrate degradation, acts as a buffer to mitigate pH decrease, and enhances microorganism activity in the AD process.
Nanobubble water (NBW) could improve methane production from anaerobic digestion (AD) of corn straw without secondary contamination. In this study, the effect of carbon dioxide nanobubble water (CO2-NBW) volumes (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) on methane production from corn straw was investigated. The results showed that addition of CO2-NBW could improve methane production and promote substrate degradation in AD process. The highest cumulative methane production of 132.16 mL g(-1)VS(added) was obtained in the 100% CO2NBW added reactor, which was 17% higher than that in the control group. Additionally, the addition of CO2NBW could mitigate the sharp decrease in pH by acting as a buffer. CO2-NBW could also enhance microorganism activity throughout the AD process. The electron transport system (ETS) activity was increased by 23%, while the beta-glucosidase, dehydrogenase (DHA), and coenzyme F420 activities were increased by 15%, 23%, and 11%, respectively, at optimum addition of CO2-NBW. Meanwhile, addition of CO2-NBW accelerated the production and consumption of reducing sugar and volatile fatty acids (VFAs), promoting the reduction rates of TS (Total solid) and VS (Volatile solid).
