The dramatic increase of textile wastes has led to concerns about environmental pollution and resource waste. Anaerobic digestion is a cost-effective and eco-friendly method to convert organic wastes into clean energy. This study applied anaerobic digestion to 11 commonly available textile wastes and found that it could effectively decompose the wastes and produce methane. The study also provided important data on the degradation mechanism and methane production from textile wastes.
The dramatic increase of textile wastes has become a major global concern, which calls for alternative practices to alleviate severe environmental pollution and waste of resources due to their improper disposal and management. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a cost-effective and eco-friendly technology that allows the bioconversion of organic wastes into clean energy (methane), which might be potentially useful for recycling textile wastes. In this study, AD was applied to 11 commonly available textile wastes in daily life to explore their feasibility, along with the methane production efficiency, biodegradability (B-D), degradation mechanism, and microbial community dynamics during AD. The results showed that all textile wastes presented an obvious decomposition from an integrated shape to fragmented pieces within 18 days except blue denim. The highest experimental methane production (EMP) of 356.0 mL/g volatile solids (VS) and BD of 78.0 % were obtained with flax. The degradation mechanism could be concluded that predominant bacteria, especially Clostridium sensu stricto, first attached to the surface of textile waste and converted its main compositions cellulose and hemicellulose into acetate as the core intermediate. Then, acetate was utilized by the major methanogen, Methanothrix, through the acetoclastic methanogenesis pathway to produce methane. This study not only enriches the understanding of textile wastes degradation mechanisms during AD and provides very useful data on methane production from commonly available textile wastes but also proposes a promising method for efficiently recycling and utilizing the diverse range of textile wastes to reduce waste pollution and generate clean energy simultaneously.
