Abstract
Human urine has a high chemical oxygen demand (COD) content which makes anaerobic treatments potentially appropriate for the management of yellow waters, allowing for energy recovery. However, its high N content makes this treatment challenging. The present work studied the viability of performing an anaerobic digestion process for COD valorization on a real (not synthetic) urine stream at laboratory scale. To deal with nitrogen inhibition, two different ammonia extraction systems were proposed and tested. With them, a proper evolution of acidogenesis and methanogenesis was observed. Nitrogen was recovered in the form of ammonium sulphate, which could be used for agriculture, in two different ways: ammonia extraction from the urine stream before feeding the reactor and in situ extraction in the reactor. The first method, which proved to be a better strategy consisted in a desorption process (NaOH addition, air bubbling and acid (H2SO4) absorption column, HCl for final pH adjustment) whereas the in situ extraction in the reactor consisted of an acid (H2SO4) absorption column installed in the biogas recycling line of both reactors. Stable methane production over 220 mL/g COD was achieved and methane content in the biogas was stable around 71%.

A comprehensive dataset for assessing the impact of ammonium salts and zeolite on anaerobic digestion performance, microbial dynamics, and metabolomic profiles. Data Brief 2024; 54:110357. [PMID: 38623544 PMCID: PMC11017268 DOI: 10.1016/j.dib.2024.110357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
This article presents comprehensive data derived from lab-scale batch anaerobic digesters that were subjected to inhibition by various sources of ammonia. To counter this inhibition, zeolite was introduced into selected digesters. The provided dataset offers a detailed depiction of degradation performance dynamics over time, as well as insights into both microbial and metabolic changes during the inhibition. In detail, 10 conditions were tested in triplicate. In a first series of 15 bioreactors ammonia was introduced to achieve a TAN concentration of 8 g/L, utilizing NH3 solution, NH4Cl salt, (NH4)2CO3 salt, or (NH4)2PO4 salt as inhibitors. A control condition without ammonia was also set up. A second series of 15 bioreactors was set up exactly as the first one, with the addition of zeolite at a concentration of 15 g/L. The data provided includes information on operational conditions, degradation performance measurements throughout the entire process (using biogas production and composition, dissolved organic and inorganic carbon, volatile fatty acids, pH, free and total ammonia nitrogen, apparent isotopic fractionation of biogas as indicators), microbial community analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing (50 samples analysed), and metabolomic analysis through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) (108 samples analysed). Sequencing data were generated by using IonTorrent PGM sequencer. The sequencing data have been deposited with links to project PRJEB52324, in ENA database from EBI (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB52324). Sample accession numbers go from SAMEA14277573 to SAMEA14277621. The metabolomic data were generated using an LTQ Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, US). The metabolomic data have been deposited to the EMBL-EBI MetaboLights database with the identifier MTBLS7859 (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS7859). This data can be used as a source for comparisons with other studies focusing on the inhibition of anaerobic digestion by ammonia, particularly in the context of exploring microbial or metabolomic dynamics during inhibition. Additionally it provides a multi-omic dataset (metataxonomic and metabolomic) with detailed associated metadata describing anaerobic digesters. The dataset is directly is associated to the research article titled "Inhibition of anaerobic digestion by various ammonia sources resulted in subtle differences in metabolite dynamics." [1].

Generic role of zeolite in enhancing anaerobic digestion and mitigating diverse inhibitions: Insights from degradation performance and microbial characteristics. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 356:120676. [PMID: 38520850 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
Zeolite was shown to mitigate anaerobic digestion (AD) inhibition caused by several inhibitors such as long-chain fatty acids, ammonia, and phenolic compounds. In this paper, we verified the genericity of zeolite's mitigating effect against other types of inhibitors found in AD such as salts, antibiotics, and pesticides. The impacts of inhibitors and zeolite were assessed on AD performance and microbial dynamics. While sodium chloride and erythromycin reduced methane production rates by 34% and 32%, zeolite mitigated the inhibition and increased methane production rates by 72% and 75%, respectively, compared to conditions without zeolite in the presence of these two inhibitors. Noticeably, zeolite also enhanced methane production rate by 51% in the uninhibited control condition. Microbial community structure was analyzed at two representative dates corresponding to the hydrolysis/fermentation and methanogenesis stages through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The microbial characteristics were further evidenced with common components analysis. Results revealed that sodium chloride and erythromycin inhibited AD by targeting distinct microbial populations, with more pronounced inhibitory effects during hydrolysis and VFAs degradation phases, respectively. Zeolite exhibited a generic effect on microbial populations in different degradation stages across all experimental conditions, ultimately contributing to the enhanced AD performance and mitigation of different inhibitions. Typically, hydrolytic and fermentative bacteria such as Cellulosilyticum, Sedimentibacter, and Clostridium sensu stricto 17, VFAs degraders such as Mesotoga, Syntrophomonas, and Syntrophobacter, and methanogens including Methanobacterium, Methanoculleus, and Methanosarcina were strongly favored by the presence of zeolite. These findings highlighted the promising use of zeolite in AD processes for inhibition mitigation in general.

Environmental impact of sewage sludge co-digestion with food waste and fat-oil-grease: Integrating plant-wide modeling with life cycle assessment approach. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 394:130198.

Abstract
Anaerobic co-digestion of fat-oil-grease (FOG) and food waste (FW) with sewage sludge (SS) in wastewater treatment plants is a method used to increase biogas production. In this study, digestion scenarios were compared using plant-wide modeling and life cycle assessment: Scenario-0 (mono-digestion of waste-activated sludge (WAS)), Scenario-1 (co-digestion of WAS with FOG), and Scenario-2 (co-digestion of WAS with FW). Scenario-0, with the highest energy use and landfilling of FOG/FW, has the worst environmental impact. Scenario-1 and Scenario-2 minimize the environmental load by energy recovery and avoiding landfilling of organic waste. Scenario-wise, the change in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from treatment was negligible. However, due to the impact of landfilling, GHG emissions in Scenario-0 were 21% and 30% higher than in Scenario-1 and 2, respectively. The environmental benefit of anaerobic co-digestion of FOG/FW with SS is not only in the contribution to energy production but also in the recycling of organic waste.

Abstract
Energy crisis and increasing rigorous management standards pose significant challenges for solid waste management worldwide. Several emerging diseases such as COVID-19 aggravated the already complex solid waste management crisis, especially sewage sludge and food waste streams, because of the increasingly large production year by year. As mature waste disposal technologies, landfills, incineration, composting, and some other methods are widespread for solid wastes management. This paper reviews recent advances in key sewage sludge disposal technologies. These include incineration, anaerobic digestion, and valuable products oriented-conversion. Food waste disposal technologies comprised of thermal treatment, fermentation, value-added product conversion, and composting have also been described. The hot topic and dominant research foci of each area are summarized, simultaneously compared with conventional technologies in terms of organic matter degradation or conversion performance, energy generation, and renewable resources production. Future perspectives of each technology that include issues not well understood and predicted challenges are discussed with a positive effect on the full-scale implementation of the discussed disposal methods.

Abstract
The unprecedented demand for seafood has resulted in land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), a highly intensive but sustainable fish farming method. However, intensification also results in concentrated waste streams of fecal matter and uneaten feed. Harvesting and processing vast quantities of fish also leads to the production of byproducts, further creating disposal challenges for fish farms. Recent research indicates that anaerobic digestion (AD), often used for waste treatment in agricultural and wastewater industries, may provide a viable solution. Limited research on AD of freshwater, brackish, and saline wastewater from RAS facilities and co-digestion of seafood byproducts has shown promising results but with considerable operational and process stability issues. This review discusses challenges to AD due to low solid concentrations, salinity, low carbon/nitrogen ratio, and high lipid content in the waste streams. Opportunities for recovering valuable biomolecules and nutrients through microbial treatment, aquaponics, microalgae, and polyhydroxyalkanoate production are also discussed.

Abstract
Sewage-water treatment comprehends primary, secondary, and tertiary steps to produce reusable water after removing sewage contaminants. However, a sewage-water treatment plant is typically a power and energy consumer and produces high volumes of sewage sludge mainly generated in the primary and secondary steps. The use of more efficient anaerobic digestion of sewage water with sewage sludge can produce reasonable flowrates of biogas, which is shown to be a consolidated strategy towards the energy self-sufficiency and economic feasibility of sewage-water treatment plants. Anaerobic digestion can also reduce the carbon footprint of energy sources since the biogas produced can replace fossil fuels for electricity generation. In summary, since the socio-economic importance of sewage treatment is high, this review examined works that contemplate: (i) improvements of sewage-water treatment plant bioenergy production and economic performances; (ii) the exploitation of technology alternatives for the energy self-sufficiency of sewage-water treatment plants; (iii) the implementation of new techniques for sewage-sludge management aiming at bioenergy production; and (iv) the implementation of sewage-water treatment with bioenergy production and carbon capture and storage.

Abstract
The status, recent trends and future perspectives in modelling and optimisation of anaerobic co-digestion is investigated. Areas that can be focused on and those which need further research towards enhancing biogas production are pointed out. Co-digestion, modelling and optimisation of anaerobic digestion as well as techno-economic aspects are reviewed in this paper. It was noted that co-digestion requires more research into a variety of bio-resources and their specific blend proportions. Modelling and optimisation of co-digestion with substrate seasonal fluctuations has not been addressed in previous studies. Controlling key process factors including temperature, pH, and carbon to nitrogen ratio is critical in improving biogas yield. Biogas hybridisation is yet to be explored in depth. The majority of researches are focused on mono-digestion, feedstock co-digestion, modelling, and optimisation of anaerobic digestion needs significant further investigations. A multi-objective approach taking all technical and economic parameters in the modelling and optimization is essential.

Abstract
Omics longitudinal studies are effective experimental designs to inform on the stability and dynamics of microbial communities in response to perturbations, but time-course analytical frameworks are required to fully exploit the temporal information acquired in this context. In this study we investigate the influence of ammonia on the stability of anaerobic digestion (AD) microbiome with a new statistical framework. Ammonia can severely reduce AD performance. Understanding how it affects microbial communities development and the degradation progress is a key operational issue to propose more stable processes. Thirty batch digesters were set-up with different levels of ammonia. Microbial community structure and metabolomic profiles were monitored with 16 S-metabarcoding and GCMS (gas-chromatography-mass-spectrometry). Digesters were first grouped according to similar degradation performances. Within each group, time profiles of OTUs and metabolites were modelled, then clustered into similar time trajectories, evidencing for example a syntrophic interaction between Syntrophomonas and Methanoculleus that was maintained up to 387 mg FAN/L. Metabolites resulting from organic matter fermentation, such as dehydroabietic or phytanic acid, decreased with increasing ammonia levels. Our analytical framework enabled to fully account for time variability and integrate this parameter in data analysis.

Abstract
Zeolite addition has been widely suggested for its ability to overcome ammonia stress occurring during anaerobic digestion. However little is known regarding the underlying mechanisms of mitigation and especially how zeolite influences the microbial structuration. The aim of this study was to bring new contributions on the effect of zeolite on the microbial community arrangement under a low ammonia stress. Replicated batch experiments were conducted. The microbial population was characterised with 16S sequencing. Methanogenic pathways were identified with methane isotopic fractionation. In presence of ammonia, zeolite mitigated the decrease of biogas production rate. Zeolite induced the development of Izimaplasmatales order and preserved Peptococcaceae family members, known as propionate degraders. Moreover methane isotopic fractionation showed that hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis was maintained in presence of zeolite under ammonia low stress. Our results put forward the benefit of zeolite to improve the bacteria-archaea syntrophy needed for propionate degradation and methane production under a low ammonia stress.

Assessment of substrate biodegradability improvement in anaerobic Co-digestion using a chemometrics-based metabolomic approach. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 254:126812.

Abstract
Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) can increase methane production of anaerobic digesters in plants treating wastewater sludge by improving the nutrient balance needed for the microorganisms to grow in the digesters, resulting in a faster process stabilization. Substrate mixture proportions are usually optimized in terms of biogas production, while the metabolic biodegradability of the whole mixture is neglected in this optimisation. In this aim, we developed a strategy to assess AcoD using metabolomics data. This strategy was explored in two different systems. Specifically, we investigated the co-digestion of wastewater sludge with different proportions of either grass or fish waste using untargeted High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS) metabolomics and chemometrics methods. The analysis of these data revealed that adding grass waste did not improve the metabolic biodegradability of wastewater sludge. Conversely, a synergistic effect in the metabolic biodegradability was observed when fish waste was used, this effect being the highest for 25% of fish waste. In conclusion, metabolomics can be regarded as a promising tool both for characterizing the biochemical processes occurring during anaerobic digestion, and for providing a better understanding of the anaerobic digestion processes.

Microbial community dynamics during anaerobic co-digestion of corn stover and swine manure at different solid content, carbon to nitrogen ratio and effluent volumetric percentages. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND HEALTH. PART A, TOXIC/HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING 2020; 55:1111-1124. [PMID: 32460612 DOI: 10.1080/10934529.2020.1771975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2020] [Revised: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/15/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The methane production and the microbial community dynamics of thermophilic anaerobic co-digestion (AD) of corn stover, swine manure and effluent were conducted at total solid (TS) content of 5%, 10% and 15%, the carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) of 20, 30 and 40 and the effluent volumetric percentage (EVP) of 20%, 40% and 60%. For batches with 5% TS, the highest methane yield of 238.5-283.1 mL g-1 volatile solid (VS) and the specific methane productivity of 138.5-152.2 mL g-1 initial VS were obtained at the C/N ratios of 20 and 30. For the mixtures with 10% and 15% TS, the highest methane yield was 341.9 mL g-1 VS and 351.2 mL g-1 VS, respectively, when the C/N ratio of 20% and 60% EVP conditions were maintained. Co-digestion of swine manure with corn stover caused an obvious shift in microbial population, in which the archaeal population changed from 0.3% to 2.8% and the bacterial community changed from 97.2% to 99.7%. The experimental batches with the highest relative abundance of the archaeal population (2.00% of total microbial population for 5% TS, 1.74% for 10% TS and 2.76% for 15% TS) had the highest rate of methanogenesis subsequently enhancing methane production (283.08 mL g-1 VS for 5% TS, 341.91 mL g-1 VS for 10% TS and 351.23 mL g-1 VS for 15% TS). The results of microbiome analysis enabled understanding the key populations in biomethane generation.

Assessment of the microbial interplay during anaerobic co-digestion of wastewater sludge using common components analysis. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0232324. [PMID: 32357180 PMCID: PMC7194399 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0232324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2020] [Accepted: 04/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is used to minimize solid waste while producing biogas by the action of microorganisms. To give an insight into the underlying microbial dynamics in anaerobic digesters, we investigated two different AD systems (wastewater sludge mixed with either fish or grass waste). The microbial activity was characterized by 16S RNA sequencing. 16S data is sparse and dispersed, and existent data analysis methods do not take into account this complexity nor the potential microbial interactions. In this line, we proposed a data pre-processing pipeline addressing these issues while not restricting only to the most abundant microorganisms. The data were analyzed by Common Components Analysis (CCA) to decipher the effect of substrate composition on the microorganisms. CCA results hinted the relationships between the microorganisms responding similarly to the AD physicochemical parameters. Thus, in overall, CCA allowed a better understanding of the inter-species interactions within microbial communities.
