제목 Bio-upgrading of anaerobic digestion effluent CO2 into CH4 using a microbial electrosynthesis
초록 Biogas upgrading of anaerobic digestion (AD) effluent gas has gained great attention in recent years as a natural gas substitute and sustainable organic waste reuse. The AD effluent consists of CO2 and balanced CH4. In this study, biomethane upgrading using microbial electrosynthesis (MES) system was examined with synthetic CO2 gas and AD effluent gas sample. The fabricated MESs was operated with mixed anaerobic culture as cathodic biocatalysts. An applied potential of -1.0V (vs. Ag/AgCl) to the cathode provides sufficient reducing power to convert CO2 to CH4. The morphological analyses and next-generation sequencing results support that the cathode attached methanogens play a key role in the bio-upgrading of methane in the MES system. The biocathode produced methane at a maximum rate of 10.55L CH4/ m2 cathode/ day at −1.0 V (versus Ag/AgCl). The bio-upgrading methane production in real AD biogas samples showed 8.8L CH4/ m2 cathode/ day. These results suggest that microbial electrosynthesis improve methane content of AD plant and simultaneous CO2 valorization.
