Previous studies have found that magnetite can promote the hydrolysis-acidification but inhibit the methanogenesis, while zero-valent iron (ZVI) only promoted the methanogenesis. Therefore, a new two-phase anaerobic digestion model, in which magnetite was added to the first phase, and ZVI was added to the second phase, was proposed to promote both hydrolysis-acidification and methanogenesis and avoid magnetite inhibition. The results showed that in the new model, methane production was improved by 10.2% and 18.1% and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was improved by 7.9% and 10.9% compared with reactors that included only magnetite and only ZVI, respectively. In the new model reactors, inhibition of methanogenesis by magnetite was avoided compared with that of the magnetite-only reactors, and hydrolysis efficiency was improved via dissimilatory iron reduction (DIR) compared with that of ZVI-only reactors. The data on volatile fatty acids (VFAs), coenzyme F and electron transfer system (ETS) further confirmed these conclusions.

Zero-valent iron (ZVI) has been confirmed in enhancing methane production by improving interspecies electron transfer during anaerobic digestion (AD) of waste activated sludge (WAS). In this study, we suppose that sulfidated zero-valent iron (S-ZVI), a semiconductor material, has better property of electron transfer in AD process. Based on two-phase anaerobic digestion process, nitrite and S-ZVI were used separately for improving acidogenic phase and methanogenic phase of anaerobic sludge digestion.

A short heat treatment (HT, 90 °C-100 °C, 5 min) was applied to two-phase anaerobic digestion (TPAD) of pig manure (PM) to investigate its effect on microbial inactivation in the acidified feedstock during the methanogenic phase. The results showed that no differences in biogas production at organic loading rate (OLR) below 4.28 g volatile solid (VS)/(L·d).

An obligately anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming and non-motile rod (strain LPYR103-Pre) was isolated from a two-phase methane fermentation system. Using 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis, strain LPYR103-Pre was classified in the genus . The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization between strain LPYR103-Pre and its phylogenetically nearest species JCM 30867 - were 94.

Different combinations of operating temperature and solids retention time during two-phase anaerobic digestion impacts removal of antibiotic resistance genes.

Two-phase anaerobic digestion (AD) performance is significantly influenced by operating parameters such as temperature and solids retention time (SRT), while their impact on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during the acidogenic (AP) and methanogenic (MP) phases remains unclear. This study assessed the abundance of eight ARGs in full-scale two-phase AD, then operated lab-scale two-phase AD systems to evaluate temperature combinations (thermophilic-thermophilic, thermophilic-mesophilic, mesophilic-thermophilic, and mesophilic-mesophilic) at a constant SRT (AP = 2/MP = 13d) and to further assess different SRTs (AP = 2/MP = 13d and AP = 4/MP = 11d). qPCR results revealed that full-scale two-phase AD reduced total ARGs abundance by 87.
