摘要：Suspended biofilm carriers mediating direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET)-based syntrophic metabolism is a promising strategy to enhance anaerobic digestion and methane production by associating the advantages of conductive suspended biofilm carriers and anaerobic integrated floating fixed-film and activated sludge (An-IFFAS) process. However, the current knowledge of DIET using conductive suspended biofilm carrier is still limited. In this study, novel electron mediator suspended biofilm carriers had been prepared by introducing a series of graphite powders (3 wt%, 5 wt% and 7 wt%) into high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and applied in An-IFFAS reactors. Results showed that An-IFFAS reactors filled with graphite-modified carriers could enhance the degradation of organic matters and the production of methane significantly in comparison with the control reactor filled with conventional HDPE carriers at organic loading rates (OLRs) of 5.9-23.7 kg COD/m3/d. Microbial analysis proved that 7 wt% graphite-modified carrier improved approximately 4.2% abundance of Geobacter and 7.3% abundance of electrotrophic methanogens (Methanothrix) that exchange electron via DIET comparing with that of HDPE carriers, respectively. These findings demonstrated that electron mediator suspended biofilm carrier was able to potentially proceed DIET and enhance the efficiency of anaerobic digestion and recover CH4-related energy.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
