RESUMO
The interactive effects between the emerging contaminant antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the traditional pollutant total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in contaminated soils remain unclear. The synergistic removal of TPHs and ARGs from composted contaminated soil, along with the microbial mechanisms driven by the addition of biogas slurry, have not yet been investigated. This study explored the impact of biogas slurry on the synergistic degradation mechanisms and bacterial community dynamics of ARGs and TPHs in compost derived from contaminated soil. The addition of biogas slurry resulted in a reduction of targeted ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) by 9.96%-95.70% and 13.32%-97.66%, respectively. Biogas slurry changed the succession of bacterial communities during composting, thereby reducing the transmission risk of ARGs. Pseudomonas, Cellvibrio, and Devosia were identified as core microorganisms in the synergistic degradation of ARGs and TPHs. According to the partial least squares path model, temperature and NO3- indirectly influenced the removal of ARGs and TPHs by directly regulating the abundance and composition of host microbes and MGEs. In summary, the results of this study contribute to the high-value utilization of biogas slurry and provide methodological support for the low-cost remediation of contaminated soils.

Single-cell protein (SCP) is a vital supplement for animal protein feed. This study utilized biogas slurry and sugarcane molasses to ferment Nectaromyces rattus for the production of SCP. The optimal batch fermentation conditions were obtained in a 5L jar with a tank pressure of 0.1 MPa, an initial speed of 300 rpm, and an inoculum volume of 30%. The highest cell dry weight concentrations of the fed-batch fermentation without reflux and the fed-batch fermentation with reflux were 46.33 g/L and 29.71 g/L, respectively. The nitrogen conversion rates (47.05% and 44.12%) and the cell yields of total organic carbon (1 g/g and 1.17 g/g) of both fermentation modes were compared. The SCP contained 42.32% amino acids. Its high concentrations of potassium (19859.96 mg/kg) and phosphorus (7310.44 mg/kg) present a novel approach for the extraction of these essential nutrients from biogas slurry. The enrichment of K was related to the H+ efflux and sugar transport.

The biogas plant plays a dual role: it directly provides energy and indirectly promotes organic farming through outlet slurry. However, agricultural biomass wastes such as rice straws (RS) and pressmud (PM), which can't be used as fertilizers on their own, were vermicomposted (60 days) with biogas slurry (BS), using earthworm, into four blends: T1(BS, 100%), T2(3:2, BS: RS), T3(3:2, BS: PM), and T4(3:1:1, BS: RS: PM). The characterization, elemental analysis, and toxicological risk assessment of derived vermimanure were carried out using various analytical tools, such as an organic elemental analyzer such as CHNS, FT-IR, FESEM-EDXA, XPS, and ICP-OES. The pH, electrical conductivity, and C/N values were within 7.1-7.8, 3.2-6.0 dSm-1, and 12-15, respectively, for all treatments. The proportions of N (38%), P (70%), K (58%), Mg (67%), Ca (42%), and ash (44%), increased significantly (P < 0.05) over the initial feedstocks. The ecological risks of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Cd, and Cr) in all feedstocks were found to be under WHO-permitted levels. The growth performance of earthworms was also considerably higher (P < 0.05) over the control feedstock group. The analytical methods verified that feedstock T4 (3:1:1, BS: RS: PM) was more porous, containing NH4+, PO43-, K+, and other nutrients. Pellets of all vermimanure groups keep 65-75% of the original volume. As well, when these pellets have been employed for agronomy and dispersed in the field, they will cause less dust than traditional or powdered compost or manure. In comparison to the control group, the synergistic approach of RS, PM, and BS in vermimanure significantly (P < 0.05) enhanced seed germination (83%), vigour index (42.5%), and decreased mean germination time by 27%. Furthermore, pot trials with Abelmoschus esculentus seed indicated that seedlings cultivated with 40% vermimanure of T4 (3:1:1, BS: RS: PM) mixed soil showed high growth in shoot, root, and plant yield.

The bioavailability for varied-size phosphorus (P)-binding colloids (Pcoll) especially from external P sources in soil terrestrial ecosystems remains unclear. This study evaluated the differential contribution of various-sized biogas slurry (BS)-derived colloids to plant available P uptake in the rhizosphere and the corresponding patterns of phosphatase response. Keeping the same content of total P input (15 mg kg-1), we applied different size-fractioned BS-derived colloids including nanosized colloids (NCs, 1-20 nm), fine-sized colloids (FCs, 20-220 nm), and medium-sized colloids (MCs, 220-450 nm) respectively to conduct a 45-day rice (Oryza sativa L.) rhizotron experiment. During the whole cultivation period, the dynamics of chemical characteristics and P fractions in each experimental rhizosphere soil solution were analyzed. The spatial and temporal dynamics examination of P-transforming enzymes (acid phosphatases) in the rice rhizosphere was visualized by a soil zymography technique after 5, 25, and 45 days of rice transplantation. The results indicated that the acid phosphatase activities and its hot spot areas were significantly 1) correlated with the relative bioavailability of colloidal P (RBAcoll), 2) increased with the colloid-free (truly dissolved P) and BS-derived NC addition, and 3) affected by the plant growth stage. With the nanosized BS colloid addition, the RBAcoll and plant biomass were respectively found to be the highest (64% and 1.22 g plant-1), in which the acid phosphatase-catalyzed hydrolysis of organic Pcoll played an important role. All of the above suggested that nanosized BS-derived colloids are an effective alternative to conventional phosphorus fertilizer for promoting plant P uptake and P bioavailability.

Biogas slurry is a nutrient-rich secondary product of livestock feces digestion which is recycled as a crop plantation fertilizer and provides exogenous microbes to the soil. However, the effects of biogas slurry microbes on the soil resident community remain unknown. In this study, we examined the ecological consequences of long-term biogas slurry pulse on the soil resident community and found that it promoted crop yield and altered soil characteristics. The soil microbial ecosystem was altered as a result of organic amendments due to the exogenous input of microbes and nutrients. Nevertheless, the soil resident communities were highly resilient to long-term organic pulses, as evidenced by community diversity and composition. The two dominant bacterial species in biogas slurry were Sterolibacterium and Clostridium. Notably, the abundance of Clostridium in biogas slurry increased following long-term amendments, while other species such as GP1 and Subdivision3_genera_incertae_sedis decreased; which was consistent with the results of module-eigengene analysis. Long-term organic pulses shifted the balance of microbial community assembly from stochastic to deterministic processes. Overall, our findings indicated that organic pulses accompanied with bacterial invasion could be alleviated by the resilience of soil microbial communities, thereby emphasizing the importance of microbiota assemblage and network architecture.

Biogas slurry drip irrigation can mitigate environmental pollution and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers to enable sustainable development. However, the stability of the biogas slurry drip irrigation system (BSDIS) is disrupted by emitter clogging; hence, it is essential to explore the flushing control strategy of BSDIS. By means of combining actual measurement and simulation, this study investigates the BSDIS stability based on the three technical parameters of the flushing control strategy. Appropriate flushing control strategies can improve system stability and cause spatial differences on the drip irrigation tape. Under various flushing control strategies, the system stability primarily undergoes delays, sensitivity, and ineffectiveness of flushing with time. Compared with the without flushing and emitter outlet downward-oriented treatment, the optimal flushing combination (the high frequency flushing + emitter outlet upward-oriented treatment) reduces the emitter clogging content by approximately 70.97% and increases system stability by 189.1%. In the internal hydrodynamics, the laying direction of emitters does not change the movement characteristics of water flow, although the clogging particles do not completely follow the water flow, with some particles settling owing to gravity, thereby clotting the emitters. When clogging occurs, the increase in flushing speed is conducive to the increase in turbulent kinetic energy on the inlet surface of the emitter, which facilitate the flushing of clogged substances. This study proposes optimal flushing strategy parameters along with a new management mode for the waste liquid represented by biogas slurry.

The safe and robust yeast Candida utilis was employed for nitrogen recovery as single cell protein from biogas slurry. The maximum biomass of 6.2 g/L with protein content of 53.5% was produced in batch cultivation with glucose as the carbon source, C/N ratio of 3:1, NH4+-N concentration of 3000 mg/L, initial pH of 8.0, and the addition of 0.35% (w/v) Na2HPO4. It was speculated that C. utilis can grow well with free ammonia below 197 mg/L. In fed-batch fermentation, a biomass of 14.8 g/L was obtained, and the maintenance of aerobic conditions was critical to improving the production of single cell protein. The sterilized and non-sterilized biogas slurry can be used as an effective pH regulator. The obtained single cell protein was a nutritious, safe, and reliable protein source. This study provides novel insights into nitrogen recovery via C. utilis as a single cell protein from biogas slurry.

Regularly adding biogas slurry into fermentation reactors is an effective way to enhance hydrogen or methane production. However, how this method affects the production of valuable organic acids and alcohols is still being determined. This study investigated the effects of different addition ratios on semi-continuous fermentation reactors using food waste as a substrate. The results showed that an addition ratio of 0.2 increased lactic acid production by 30% with a yield of 0.38 ± 0.01 g/g VS, while a ratio of 0.4 resulted in mixed acid fermentation dominated by n-butyric acid (0.07 ± 0.01 g/g VS) and n-caproic acid (0.06 ± 0.00 g/g VS). The introduction of Bifidobacteriaceae by biogas slurry played a crucial role in increasing lactic acid production. In contrast, exclusive medium-chain fatty acid producers enhanced the synthesis of caproic acid and heptanoic acid via the reverse ß-oxidation pathway. Mechanism analyses suggested that microbial community structure and activity, substrate hydrolysis, and cell membrane transport system and structure changed to varying degrees after adding biogas slurry.

This study investigated hydrothermal humification of corn straw acid hydrolysis residue with biogas slurry impregnation, aiming at producing water-soluble artificial humic acid fertilizer for fertilizer application and soil remediation. Hydrothermal humification parameters, including potassium hydroxide concentration (1-3 mol/L), retention time (2-6 h), and temperature (140-180 °C), were investigated using water as the liquid phase. The selected hydrothermal humification condition was 1.5 mol/L potassium hydroxide at 180 °C for 4 h. Moreover, biogas slurry impregnation (0-30 days) was evaluated to improve humic acid yield without introducing additional chemicals or energy input. Biogas slurry as the liquid phase increased the humic acid production by 73.24% with 5 days of impregnation compared to the control due to the alkalinity. The humic acid concentration was sufficient for China's national standard of water-soluble humic acid fertilizers in such conditions. The organic components in biogas slurry were involved in artificial humification as a precursor, forming C-N bonds with humic acid. The product with fortified nitrogen-containing functional groups enhanced the nutrient slow-release characteristics and water retention capabilities. The pot experiment further confirmed that artificial humic acid prepared in this study not only promoted the growth of plants but also achieved soil remediation.

The use of organic fertilizer for agricultural production can reduce the use of chemical fertilizer (CF), reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and maintain crop production. However, biogas slurry (BS), a liquid with a high moisture content and a low C/N ratio, differs from commercial organic fertilizer and manure in terms of its impact on the soil N cycle. Replacing CF with BS needs to be reconsidered regarding soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and crop production in terms of fertilization, agricultural land type, and soil characteristics. For this systematic review, the results of 92 published studies worldwide were collected. Based on the findings, the combined application of BS and CF can significantly increase soil total N (TN), microbial biomass N (MBN), and soil organic matter (SOM) levels. The Chaol and ACE index values of soil bacteria were increased by 13.58% and 18.53%, whereas those of soil fungi were decreased by 10.45% and 14.53%, respectively. At a replacement ratio (rr) ≤ 70%, crop yield was promoted by 2.20%-12.17%, and soil N2O emissions were reduced by 1.94%-21.81%. A small rr (≤30%) was more conducive to growth, and a moderate rr (30% < rr ≤ 70%) was more favorable for N2O emission reduction, especially in the dryland crop system. However, at rr = 100%, soil N2O emissions in neutral and alkaline dryland soil were increased by 28.56%-32.22%. The importance analysis of the influencing factors showed that the proportion of BS, the N application rate, and the temperature were the factors affecting soil N2O emissions. Our results provide a scientific basis for the safe use of BS in agricultural systems.

Worldwide physiological research has aimed to decelerate the aging of crop leaves by optimizing fertilization measures to improve crop or biomass yield. Solid organic fertilizers can be combined with chemical fertilizers to delay the aging of crop leaves. Biogas slurry is a liquid organic fertilizer produced by the anaerobic fermentation of livestock and poultry manure and other resources, and it can partially replace chemical fertilizers in field application via drip irrigation systems. However, the impact of biogas slurry topdressing on leaf aging remains unclear. This study investigated treatments with no topdressing (control, CK) and five topdressing patterns of biogas slurry replacing chemical fertilizer (nitrogen) at 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0% (100%BS, 75%BS, 50%BS, 25%BS, CF). The effects of different proportions of biogas slurry on leaf senescence rate, photosynthetic pigments, osmotic adjustment substances, antioxidant defense enzymes, and nitrogen metabolism related enzyme activities of maize were analyzed. Subsequently, the mechanisms of biogas slurry topdressing on the leaf senescence rate of maize were explored. The results showed that the mean decreasing rate of relative green leaf area (Vm) treated with biogas slurry decreased by 3.7%-17.1% and the duration of leaf area duration (LAD) increased by 3.7%-17.1% compared with the results for CK. The maximum senescence rate of 100%BS was delayed by 4.4 and 5.6 d compared to the results for CF and CK, respectively. During the senescence of maize leaves, the use of biogas slurry topdressing increased the content of chlorophyll, decreased the water loss and the accumulation rate of malondialdehyde and proline in leaves, and increased the activities of catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase in the later growth and development periods of maize. In addition, biogas slurry topdressing improved the nitrogen transport efficiency of the leaves and ensured continuous and efficient ammonium assimilation. Furthermore, there was a strong correlation between leaf senescence and the investigated physiological indices. Cluster analysis showed that the 100%BS treatment exhibited the most prominent effect on leaf senescence. Biogas slurry topdressing as a substitute for chemical fertilizer can be potentially used as an anti-aging regulation measure for crops to decrease the damage induced by senescence.

Algae symbiosis technology shows great potential in the synchronous treatment of biogas slurry and biogas, which has promising applications. For improving nutrients and CO2 removal rates, the present work constructed four microalgal systems: Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) monoculture, C. vulgaris-Bacillus licheniformis (B. licheniformis), C. vulgaris-activated sludge, and C. vulgaris-endophytic bacteria (S395-2) to simultaneously treat biogas as well as biogas slurry under GR24 and 5DS induction. Our results showed that the C. vulgaris-endophytic bacteria (S395-2) showed optimal growth performance along with photosynthetic activity under the introduction of GR24 (10-9 M). Under optimal conditions, CO2 removal efficiency form biogas, together with chemical oxygen demand, total phosphorus and total nitrogen removal efficiencies from biogas slurry reached 67.25 ± 6.71%, 81.75 ± 7.93%, 83.19 ± 8.32%, and 85.17 ± 8.26%, respectively. The addition of symbiotic bacteria isolated from microalgae can promote the growth of C. vulgaris, and the exogenous addition of GR24 and 5DS can strengthen the purification performance of the algae symbiosis to achieve the maximum removal of conventional pollutants and CO2.

Biogas slurry (BS) and hydrothermal carbonization aqueous products (HAP), which are rich in nitrogen (N) and dissolved organic matter (DOM), can be used as organic fertilizer to substitute inorganic N fertilizer. To evaluate the effects of co-application of BS and HAP on the ammonia (NH3) volatilization and soil DOM content in wheat growth season, we compared six treatments that substituting 50%, 75%, and 100% of urea-N with BS plus HAP at low (L) or high (H) ratio, named BCL50, BCL75, BCL100, BCH50, BCH75, BCH100, respectively. Meanwhile, urea alone treatment was set as the control (CKU). The results showed that both BCL and BCH treatments significantly mitigate the NH3 volatilizations by 9.1%-45.6% in comparison with CKU (P < 0.05), whose effects were correlated with soil NH4+-N content. In addition, the decrease in soil urease activity contributed to the lower NH3 volatilization following application of BS plus HAP. Notably, BS plus HAP applications increased the microbial byproduct- and humic acid-like substances in soil by 9.9%-74.5% and 100.7%-451.9%, respectively. Consequently, BS and HAP amended treatments significantly increased soil humification index and DOM content by 13.7%-41.2% and 38.4%-158.7%, respectively (P < 0.05). This study suggested that BS and HAP could be co-applied into agricultural soil as a potential alternative of inorganic fertilizer N, which can decrease NH3 loss but increase soil fertility.

A hydrothermal oxygen uncoupling (HTOU) method which combines aqueous phase reforming (APR) and oxygen uncoupling was proposed to treat biogas slurry (BS). Based on Le Chatelier's principle, this novel approach was constructed and realized by Cu-α-Fe2O3·α-MoO3 catalyst with van der Waals heterojunction-redox property. Additionally, the catalyst was synthesized by integrating a simple one-pot sol-gel method and thermal hydrogenating. Results indicated that the optimal removal efficiencies of non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC) (76.29%), total nitrogen (TN) (45.56%), and ammonia nitrogen (AN) (29.03%) were achieved on the Cu-α-Fe2O3·α-MoO3 catalyst at 225.00 °C for 30.00 min, respectively. The significant performance of Cu-α-Fe2O3·α-MoO3 could be attributed to three aspects. (1) The α-MoO3 nanosheets with van der Waals heterostructures obtained at the calcination temperature of 600.00 °C, which can provide the superior performance of APR for hydrogen generation. (2) The adsorbed oxygen species were eliminated by thermal hydrogenating which had a surface passivation effect. (3) The effect of oxygen uncoupling in the lattice oxygen and gaseous oxygen release reaction was beneficial to the degradation of organic matter. Moreover, the reuse of catalysts studies further revealed that the deactivation of catalysts originated from carbon deposition of aromatic polymers and heavy metals oxides pollution. Overall, these findings disclosed that the HTOU could be a promising alternative to the treatment of high-concentration organic wastewater.

Nutrient-rich biogas slurry shows favorable prospects for application as an organic fertilizer in farmland. At the same time, due to differing sources and treatment methods, the C/N ratio of biogas slurry varies greatly. The effect of differences in C/N of biogas slurry on soil organic matter properties remains unclear. In this experiment, pig farm biogas slurry differing in C/N (3, 6, 8.84 and 12) was applied instead of fertilizer. Fluorescence spectroscopy combined with parallel factor analysis and principal component analysis were used to determine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) in soil dissolved organic matter (DOM). The experimental results showed that the DOC and FDOM contents of soil could be significantly increased at the initial stage of biogas slurry application. Compared with CK, on the 60th day, biogas slurry with a C/N of 12 exhibited the greatest improvement in DOC, FDOM as well as for Component 1, Component 2 and Component 3 contents in soil FDOM, 40.93%, 66.25%, 65.35%, 40.47%, and 78.42% respectively. However, compared with the 0th day, by the 60th day, biogas slurry with a C/N of 8.84 exhibited the greatest decrease in Component 4 content in soil FDOM, 74.68%. Biogas slurry with a C/N of 8.84 exerted the greatest promotion effect on corn growth, the utilization and transformation of Component 4 by plants and microorganisms in the soil. And it showed the strongest improvement in the degree of FDOM humification in the soil, the humiï¬cation index increased from 4.16 ± 0.17 to 4.92 ± 0.58, compared with CK. This study provided new insights for the utilization of biogas slurry with respect to soil physical and chemical properties and maize plant growth.

Large molecular weight pig biogas slurry (L-PBS) and small molecular weight pig biogas slurry (S-PBS) were separated from original pig biogas slurry (O-PBS) using a 100 kDa membrane. The original bioavailability and biosafety of L-PBS was very low. In order to enhance the total bioavailable dissolved organic nitrogen (TB-DON) and total bioavailable dissolved organic phosphorus (TB-DOP), optimum catalytic ozonation of L-PBS conditions were determined using Box-behnken design models (P < 0.0001) and intersection tests. The optimal values for ozone concentration, pH value, active catalyst concentration and reaction time were 2.63 mg·L-1, 6.48, 1.43 g·L-1 and 40 min, respectively. Catalytic ozonation can effectively decompose and transform 68.07% of L-PBS into S-PBS to improve content organic bioavailability, with a molecular weight distribution of 0-1 kDa (13.53%), 1-5 kDa (16.62%), 5-10 kDa (11.16%), 10-30 kDa (11.73%), 30-100 kDa (15.04%). Catalytic ozonation of L-PBS can reduce protein levels from 85.28% to 47.18%, but increases the proportion of fulvic and humic components from 10.22% to 32.67% and 4.51%-20.15%, respectively. Because catalytic ozonation changes the internal components and molecular weights of L-PBS, both saw increases in TB-DON and TB-DOP from 3.33% to 41.12% and 2.43%-37.88%, respectively, with a large number of TB-DON and TB-DOP derived from hydrophilic organic components during catalytic ozonation. These important internal mechanisms changed by catalytic ozonation can effectively reduce the ecotoxicity (IR, from 76.5% to 33.1%) and phytotoxicity (GI, enhanced from 35.4% to 70.3%) of L-PBS. Therefore, catalytic ozonation combined with membrane separation is a choice technology in improving the nutrition of biogas slurry and reduce its ecological risk.

The application of biogas slurry as an organic fertilizer is a promising method for utilizing breeding manure wastewater. At present, the impact of biogas slurry on the properties of organic matter in soil is not clear. In this study, a pot experiment in which chemical fertilizers were replaced with biogas slurry from a swine farm was performed. The fluorescence spectra combined with parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to explore the influence of biogas slurry on the protein and humic substance contents in the dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil. The results showed that there were two proteins (component 3 (C3) and component 4 (C4)) and two humic substances ( component 1 (C1) and component 2 (C2)) in the DOM of the experimental soil. The application of swine biogas slurry can significantly increase the content of DOM in soil, but the increase was weakened with extended time. Compared with the CKA, the biogas slurry significantly increased the C1, C2, C3 and C4 contents in the initial stage by 116.17%, 76.41%, 578.71% and 278.13%, respectively. Within 28 days of planting corn, proteins with simple molecular structure in the DOM in the soil began to be transformed into humic substances with high molecular weight and more complex molecular structures. On the 60th day, the contents of C1 and C2 in the DOM of the treated treatments soil increased by 13.72%-34.40% and 5.05%-17.78% respectively, and tyrosine content decreased by 90.11%-94.41%. This study provides a new perspective on the effects of biogas slurry application on soil properties and sustainable utilization of soil.

Biogas slurry (BS) is a main byproduct of biogas production that is commonly used for agricultural irrigation because of its abundant nutrients and microelements. However, direct application of BS may cause quality decline and nitrate and heavy metal accumulation in crops. To address this issue, a microalgae culture experiment and an irrigation experiment were performed to evaluate the removal efficiencies of nutrients and heavy metals from diluted BS by microalgae Scenedesmus sp. and to investigate the effects of irrigation with microalgae-treated BS (MBS-25, MBS-50, MBS-75, and MBS-100) on nutritional quality, oxidation resistance, and nitrate and heavy metal residues in Chinese cabbage. After 8 days of continuous culture, a ratio of 1/1 for BS/tap water mixture (BS-50) was the optimal proportion for microalgal growth (3.73â¯g dry cell L-1) and efficient removal of total nitrogen (86.1%), total phosphorus (94.3%), COD (87.5%), Cr (50%), Pb (60.7%), and Cd (59.7%). The pH in MBS-50 medium recovered to the highest level in a shorter period of time and accelerated the gas stripping of ammonia nitrogen and the formation of insoluble phosphate and metals, which partly contributed to the high removal efficiencies. MBS irrigation significantly promoted crop growth; improved nutritional quality, edible taste, and oxidation resistance; and reduced nitrate and heavy metal residues in Chinese cabbage at a large scale. Therefore, microalgae culture was beneficial to reduce negative impacts of BS irrigation in crop growth and agricultural product safety. This study may provide a theoretical basis for the safe utilization of BS waste in agricultural irrigation.

Biogas slurry, an inevitable outcome of anaerobic digestion (AD), is a treatment burden for urban environmental management. In this study, two kinds of biogas slurry (slurry J and slurry C), collected from the AD plants in Japan and China, were treated using novel TiZrO4 @Cu and TiZrO4 @Cu@SiO2 multilayered hollow spheres containing Cu sub-nanoclusters as the catalyst. The results showed that the chemical oxygen demand (COD) was removed by 63 % for slurry J and 44 % for slurry C after 5 h. The Cu sub-nanoclusters acted as co-catalysts and active centers, facilitating rapid electron transfer to oxygen molecules and forming highly reactive â¢O2- and â¢OH species (Use slurry J as the based solution). These free radicals cleaved the interconnecting bonds between benzene rings, disintegrated the ring structure, formed intermediate compounds such as n-hexylic acid, and ultimately mineralized organic pollutants in biogas slurry into CO2 and H2O. At the same time, TiZrO4 @Cu@SiO2 had excellent stability due to the protection of the SiO2 shell and reduced threefold Cu leaching than TiZrO4 @Cu. The COD removal rate was always 60 % in six cycles in the slurry J. The new catalyst ensured the high performance of catalytic air oxidation at low temperatures, which has significant potential as an environmentally friendly and energy-saving method for organic wastewater treatment.
RESUMO
Production of single cell protein (SCP) by recovering ammonia nitrogen from biogas slurry shows great potential against protein scarcity and unsustainable production of plant and animal proteins. Herein, a high-alkali-salt-tolerant yeast strain, Debaryomyces hansenii JL8-0, was isolated and demonstrated for high-efficient SCP production. This strain grew optimally at pH 8.50 and 2500 mg/L NH4+-N, and it could efficiently utilize acetate as the additional carbon source. Under optimal conditions, SCP biomass of 32.21 g/L and productivity of 0.32 g/L·h-1 were obtained in fed-batch fermentation. Remarkably, nearly complete (97.40 %) ammonia nitrogen from biogas slurry was recovered, probably due to its high affinity for NH4+-N. Altogether, this strain showed advantages in terms of cell biomass titer, productivity, and yield. A cultivation strategy was proposed by co-culturing D. hansenii with other compatible yeast strains to achieve high-efficient SCP production from biogas slurry, which could be a promising alternative technology for biogas slurry treatment.
