This study aimed to determine the best fungi to form the algal-bacterial-fungal symbionts and identify the optimal conditions for the synchronous processing of biogas slurry and biogas. Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) and endophytic bacteria (S395-2) isolated from it, and four different fungi (Ganoderma lucidum, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus geesteranus, and Pleurotus corucopiae) were used to form different symbiotic systems. Four different concentrations of GR24 were added to systems to examine the growth characteristics, the content of chlorophyll a (CHL-a), the activity of carbonic anhydrase (CA), the photosynthetic performance, the removal of nutrients, and the biogas purification performance. The results suggested that the growth rate, CA, CHL-a content, and photosynthetic performance of the C. vulgaris-endophytic bacteria-Ganoderma lucidum symbionts were higher than the other three symbiotic systems when 10 M GR24 was added. The highest nutrients/CO removal efficiency 78.36 ± 6.98% for chemical oxygen demand (COD), 81.63 ± 7.35% for total nitrogen (TN), 84.05 ± 7.16% for total phosphorus (TP), and 65.18 ± 6.12% for CO was obtained under the above optimal conditions. This approach will provide a theoretical basis for the selection and optimization of the algal-bacterial-fungal symbionts for biogas slurry and biogas purification. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Algae-bacteria/fungal symbiont presents superior nutrients and CO2 removal capacities. The maximum CO2 removal efficiency was 65.18 ± 6.12%. The removal performance was affected by fungi type.

In response to the challenges of nutrient limitations and low efficiency in synthesizing artificial humic acid (AHA) during the resource utilization of agricultural wastes, this study innovatively developed a process that integrates biogas slurry (BS) impregnation pretreatment with hydrothermal humification (HTH). Using steam-exploded corn straw (SES) as the raw material, the impregnation parameters were optimized (40 °C, liquid-to-solid ratio of 15:1, 18 h, 3 cycles), achieving an AHA yield of 40.61 %, which was over 15 % higher than that of the untreated group.

To achieve the simultaneous recycling of biogas slurry and anaerobic sludge, the sludge was used to synthesize sludge-based iron-carbon composite mediators (SICM), which were applied to enhance the performance of anaerobic digestion coupled with microbial electrolysis cell (AD-MEC) for biogas slurry degradation. By comparing four preparation methods, it was found that SICM oxygen-containing functional groups and different valence states of iron in SICM played active roles in facilitating electron transfer. Fe@C-B had the best performance of biogas slurry degradation, achieving a COD removal rate of 86.

Separation and pyrolysis of the solid fractions of biogas digestate and animal slurry offer potential solutions to environmental and logistical challenges associated with direct slurry application as fertilizer. However, thermochemical transformations during pyrolysis typically reduce P availability. This study evaluated biochars produced at 400°C, 500°C, and 600°C from the solid fractions of biogas digestate (BDF) and pig manure (PMF) for their P-fertilization effects using a pot experiment with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne var.

This study provides an uncertainty analysis for a simplified anaerobic digestion model in agricultural biogas production, with implications for model output prioritization during parameter identification. Uncertainty in feed measurements is identified as a primary source of parameter uncertainty, magnifying and cascading into model output uncertainty. Experimental co-digestion of maize silage and cattle slurry is used for model validation.

The biochemical conversion of biomass waste and organic slurries into clean methane is a valuable strategy for both reducing environmental pollution and advancing alternative energy sources to support energy security. Anaerobic digestion (AD), a mature renewable technology operated in high-performance bioreactors, continues to attract attention for improvements in energy efficiency, profitability, and long-term sustainability at scale. Recent efforts focus on optimizing biochemical reactions throughout all phases of the anaerobic process while mitigating the production of inhibitory compounds that reduce biodegradation efficiency and, consequently, economic viability.
