- Abstract
In this study, a batch of acid-tolerant inoculation sludge was domesticated as inoculum, and different concentrations of nano-magnetite were added to the propionic acid (PA) anaerobic digestion system to explore its effect on the PA degradation. It was found the PA degradation rates of nano-magnetite groups were 10.96-74.62% higher than the control group without magnetite in the 6th day, especially with the dosage of 100 mg/L. Microbial community analysis showed some potential DIET participants of Chloroflexi, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes had the highest abundance, while metabolite analysis showed that nano-magnetite promoted the transformation of malic acid to oxaloacetic acid and the PA disproportionation to butyric acid. It indicated that nano-magnetite could effectively promote the early degradation of PA in the sludge acclimation system by accelerating DIET or PA disproportionation, so as to prevent the PA accumulation, which could provide reference for the acid accumulation regulation of anaerobic digestion system., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
