Abstract
- Investigating the effect of butyric acid concentration on anaerobic digestion systems in complex systems is important for the efficient degradation of butyric acid and improving the efficiency of anaerobic digestion. In this study, different loadings of butyric acid with 2.8, 3.2, and 3.6 g/(L·d) were added to the anaerobic reactor. At a high organic loading rate of 3.6 g/(L·d), methane was efficiently produced with VBP (Volumetric Biogas Production) of 1.50 L/(L·d) and biogas content between 65% and 75%. VFAs concentration remained below 2000 mg/L. Metagenome sequencing revealed changes in the functional flora within different stages. Methanosarcina, Syntrophomonas, and Lentimicrobium were the main and functional microorganisms. That the relative abundance of methanogens exceeded 35% and methanogenic metabolic pathways were increased indicated the methanogenic capacity of the system significantly improved. The presence of a large number of hydrolytic acid-producing bacteria also indicated the importance of the hydrolytic acid-producing stage in the system.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
