Augmentation of psychrophilic anaerobic digestion with psychrotolerant Serratia marcescens, calcium phosphate (CaHPO4·2H2O) and hematite (α-Fe2O3) nano-additives

Résumé

Psychrophilic anaerobic digestion (PAD) requires optimization to improve methane production at low temperatures (<20 °C). This study aimed to improve methane production via bioaugmentation with psychrotolerant Serratia marcescens (SM) and biostimulation with nano-additives, comprising calcium phosphate (CaP) and hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles (NPs), during batch PAD of cattle manure and food waste at 15 °C. The highest methane yields were obtained from treatment with SM and both NPs (163.9 ± 18.0 mL CH 4 g −1 VS), thereafter with the combination of CaP and α-Fe 2 O 3 NPs (143.9 ± 50.2 mL CH 4 g −1 VS). The lowest yield was observed in the control (70.2 ± 4.9 mL CH 4 g −1 VS) followed by treatment with SM alone (124.6 ± 20.3 mL CH 4 g −1 VS). Treatment with CaP and α-Fe 2 O 3 NPs reduced the lag phase more than the other treatments. Moreover, the addition of nano-additives biostimulated PAD without significantly altering the microbial community composition. The dominant genera included Bacteroides, Acinetobacter , and Methanosarcina (a mixotrophic methanogen) after batch PAD across all treatments. This research provides new insights on the augmentative effect of SM, CaP and α-Fe 2 O 3 NPs on methane production and microbial community dynamics during PAD.
