Effect of bioaugmentation on digestate metal concentrations in anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge

et al. 2020

This study examined the influence of bioaugmentation on metal concentrations (aluminum, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, molybdenum, nickel and zinc) in anaerobically digested sewage sludge. To improve the digestion efficiency, bioaugmentation with a mixture of wild-living Archaea and Bacteria (MAB) from Yellowstone National Park, USA, was used. The total concentration of all metals was higher in the digestate than in the feedstock. During anaerobic digestion, the percent increase in the concentration of most of metals was slightly higher in the bioaugmented runs than in the un-augmented runs, but these differences were not statistically significant. However, the percent increase in cadmium and cobalt concentration was significantly higher in the bioaugmented runs than in the un-augmented runs. At MAB doses of 9 and 13% v/v, cadmium concentration in the digestate was 211 and 308% higher than in the feedstock, respectively, and cobalt concentration was 138 and 165%, respectively. Bioaugmentation increased over 4 times the percentage of Pseudomonas sp. in the biomass that are able to efficiently accumulate metals by both extracellular adsorption and intracellular uptake. Biogas production was not affected by the increased metal concentrations. In conclusion, bioaugmentation increased the concentration of metals in dry sludge, which means that it could potentially have negative effects on the environment.
