Unraveling the role of polyferric chloride in anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge

Sijing Zhu et al.

Summary: The study showed that polyferric chloride (PFC) has an inhibitory effect on methane production during waste activated sludge anaerobic digestion. PFC released hydroxy polymers and Fe(III), leading to a decrease in methane production by inducing dissimilar iron reduction processes and altering microbial communities. This innovative insight could guide flocculant selection in wastewater treatment.

Thermal Hydrolysis Pretreatment-Anaerobic Digestion Promotes Plant-Growth Biostimulants Production from Sewage Sludge by Upregulating Aromatic Amino Acids Transformation and Quinones Supply

Yanfei Tang et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the production of micromolecular plant-growth biostimulants (micro-PBs) from sewage sludge and explores the regulatory mechanisms involved. The results showed that the highest production of effective micro-PBs was achieved through thermal hydrolysis pretreatment-anaerobic digestion at a temperature of 160 degrees C. The effective micro-PBs originated from aromatic amino acids (AAAs), and the upregulation of AAAs biosynthesis was found to be crucial for their production. Furthermore, the study revealed the important role of quinones in enhancing AAAs biosynthesis and stabilization of micro-PBs during sludge anaerobic digestion.

Evaluating the Effects of Different Pretreatments on Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Activated Sludge Containing Polystyrene Microplastics

Yanjing Zeng et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of physical and chemical pretreatments on the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge containing polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs). The results showed that thermal and chemical pretreatments significantly improved sludge disintegration and increased methane production. Chemical pretreatment had an impact on the leaching of microplastics, but did not affect the generation of reactive oxygen species. In terms of long-term effects, thermal pretreatment had the greatest influence on the proportion of methanogens. Considering the anaerobic digestion performance and the toxic alteration of microplastics, thermal pretreatment is recommended.

How Does Chitosan Affect Methane Production in Anaerobic Digestion?

Xuran Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that chitosan in sewage sludge anaerobic digestion could inhibit methane production by restricting the transfer of organic substrates and reducing microbial activities. Chitosan also suppressed the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances and increased mass transfer resistance, leading to a lower metabolic rate of anaerobes.

Influence of phenols and furans released during thermal pretreatment of olive mill solid waste on its anaerobic digestion

E. Caroca et al.

Summary: Thermal pretreatment in anaerobic digestion creates phenols and furans, which can inhibit methane production. However, some compounds can also improve methane production, and the negative effects of certain compounds can be counteracted by the positive effects of others.

Rhamnolipid pretreatment enhances methane production from two-phase anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge

Qiuxiang Xu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that rhamnolipid (RL) pretreatment has a promoting effect on methane production in two-phase anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge, although methane production may be inhibited in the presence of RL during the acidogenic phase. Further analysis shows that the addition of RL can increase methane production throughout the entire two-phase anaerobic digestion process.
