Abstract
Two-phase anaerobic digestion (AD) is a promising technology, but its performance is sensitive to methanogen. In this study, the effect of cobalt (Co) on two-phase AD was investigated and the enhanced mechanism was revealed. Though no obvious effect of Co2+ was observed in acidogenic phase, the activity of methanogens was significantly affected by Co2+ with an optimal Co2+ concentration of 2.0 mg/L. Ethylenediamine-N'-disuccinic acid (EDDS) was the most effective for improving Co bioavailability and increasing methane production. The role of Co-EDDS in improving methanogenic phase was also verified by operating three reactors for two months. The Co-EDDS supplement increased the level of Vitamin B12 (VB12) and coenzyme F420, and enriched Methanofollis and Methanosarcina, thereby successfully improving methane production and accelerating reactor recovery from ammonium and acid wastewater treatment. This study provides a promising approach to improve the efficiency and stability of anaerobic digester.
