Methanogenesis from wastewater stimulated by addition of elemental manganese

چکیده
This study presents a novel procedure for accelerating methanogenesis from wastewater by adding elemental manganese into the anaerobic digestion system. The results indicated that elemental manganese effectively enhanced both the methane yield and the production rate. Compared to the control test without elemental manganese, the total methane yield and production rate with 4 g/L manganese addition increased 3.4-fold (from 0.89 ± 0.03 to 2.99 ± 0.37 M/gVSS within 120 h) and 4.4-fold (from 6.2 ± 0.1 to 27.2 ± 2.2 mM/gVSS/h), respectively. Besides, more acetate consumption and less propionate generation were observed during the methanogenesis with manganese. Further studies demonstrated that the elemental manganese served as electron donors for the methanogenesis from carbon dioxide, and the final proportion of methane in the total generated gas with 4 g/L manganese addition reached 96.9%, which was 2.1-fold than that of the control (46.6%).

BIOLOGICAL SULFATE REDUCTION IN SULFATE-RICH INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATERS BY ANAEROBIC FLUIDIZED-BED REACTORS: EFFECTS OF ELECTRON DONORS High sulfate wastewaters are a major problem in industry because they increase the total dissolved solid content, and interfere with methanogenesis resulting in decrease in production of methane, which is a valuable fuel. A large variety of industries including: pu...
متن کاملMethanogenesis In Mclean Bog, An Acidic Peat Bog In Upstate New York: Stimulation By H2/CO2 In The Presence Of Rifampicin, Or By Low Concentrations Of Acetate
Acidic peat bog soils produce CH4 and although molecular bio-logical studies have demonstrated the presence of diverse methano-genic populations in them, few studies have sustained methano-genesis by adding the CH4 precursors H2/CO2 or acetate, and few indigenous methanogens have been cultured. McLean Bog is a small (ca. 70 m across), acidic (pH 3.4–4.3) Sphagnum-dominated bog in upstate New Yo...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Removal from Water and Wastewater Using Raw and Modified Diatomite (TECHNICAL NOTE)
heavy metal removal from water and wastewater was investigated by using raw and modified diatomite from Iranian mines. Modification of diatomite was done by impregnating the diatomite surface with 0.35 g of manganese oxide in one gram of diatomite. This modified diatomite was named Mn-Diatomite. The surface area measurements for Mn-diatomite showed a 2.2 fold increase, hence higher removal capa...

Due to insufficient clean water resources wastewater is largely used for irrigation of vegetables in many developing countries, particularly in Pakistan. As a result, vegetables in spite of providing nutrients also accumulate toxic metals and causes health risks. In the present study, comparison of heavy metal contents, using two digestion methods, in fresh and wastewater-irrigated vegetables w...

BACKGROUND Manufactured silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most commonly used nanomaterials in consumer goods and consequently their concentrations in wastewater and hence wastewater treatment plants are predicted to increase. We investigated the fate of AgNPs in sludge that was subjected to aerobic and anaerobic treatment and the impact of AgNPs on microbial processes and communities....
