Rice straw and pig manure pellets (RPP) and sorghum straw and pig manure pellets (SPP) were used to identify their competition as the flexible feedstock of anaerobic digestion with one-year indoor storage. The results indicated the effect of time on their characteristic was tiny during storage period, such as density, calorific value, total solid, volatile solid, ratio of carbon and nitrogen, and lignocellulosic components. Biogas yields of stored RPP and SPP were 8.8% and 26.7% lower than that of fresh pig manure (PM), and 45.4% and 56.1% higher than the sum of corresponding straw and PM digestion alone, respectively. Improvements in biodegradability were observed in co-densified biomass anaerobic digestion. Net biogas yield of RPP was 24.2% higher than that of rice straw, considering volatile matter loss and biogas yield decline during densification and storage stage. Priority of manure and supplement of co-densified biomass were proposed for feedstock supply on demand.

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are innovative environmental engineering systems that harness the metabolic activities of microbial communities to convert chemical energy in waste into electrical energy. However, MFC performance optimization remains challenging due to limited understanding of microbial metabolic mechanisms, particularly with complex substrates under realistic environmental conditions. This study investigated the effects of substrate complexity (acetate vs.

Anaerobic digestion is a crucial process in wastewater treatment, renowned for its sustainable biogas production capabilities and the simultaneous reduction of environmental pollution. However, dysregulation of vital biological processes and pathways can lead to reduced efficiency and suboptimal biogas output, which can be seen through low counts per million of sequences related to three critical control points for methane synthesis. Namely, tetrahydromethanopterin S-methyltransferase (MTR), methyl-coenzyme reductase M (MCR), and CoB/CoM heterodisulfide oxidoreductase (HDR) are the last reactions that must occur.

This work evaluated the effect of zero-valent iron (ZVI) particle size (150 μm-100 nm) on the performance of food waste anaerobic digestion (AD) under various acid stress conditions. The results indicated that ZVI significantly improved the AD performance, ensuring successful CH production even under high acid stress. However, the extent of this promoting effect was highly dependent on the particle size.

Anaerobic digestion (AD), which relies on a complex microbial consortium for efficient biogas generation, is a promising avenue for renewable energy production and organic waste treatment. However, understanding and optimising AD processes are challenging because of the intricate interactions within microbial communities and the impact of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) on biogas production. To address these challenges, this study proposes the application of graph convolutional networks (GCNs) to comprehensively model AD processes.
