Article Abstract
Biopolymers with different biodegradability result in the asynchronous production of humus precursors during anaerobic digestate composting, which hinders humus formation. This study aimed to improve the humification process of digestate composting with Humus Soil Biomaterial (HSB) as ameliorant, and unveiled corresponding humification mechanisms. Results indicated that HSB containing pumice stone, phenolics, and native microbes promoted the humification process of digestate composting and contributed to higher aromaticity and humification degree. HSB provided additional phenolics as aromatic skeleton to polymerize with amine-N to rapidly form humic substances, which avoided the adverse effects of lignin rate-limiting decomposition on humification process while reducing mineralization of amine-N precursors. Pumice stone and native microbes in HSB improved microbial composition by increasing microbial abundance and diversity, respectively, which strengthened the interactions between microorganisms and organics to accelerate humus formation and composting maturity. This study proposed a novel rapid humification option for the resourceful treatment of anaerobic digestate.

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.

Small cascade dams drive spatial divergence in the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in local sediments. Taking Xixi River in the southeast of China, a representative small cascade-dammed watershed, as an example, this study explored the spatial variations of DOM components and its interactions with microbial communities under the influence of cascade dams. Results revealed that DOM composition differed significantly, i.

Phenolic compounds are persistent pollutants in industrial effluents, necessitating integrated strategies for their detection, degradation, and transformation. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and their calcined derivatives, layered double oxides (LDOs), are promising multifunctional catalysts for addressing these challenges. LDHs/LDOs can be engineered and modified to enhance surface adsorption and facilitate efficient electron transfer.

The lignin was degraded into phenol and then oxidized into quinones of chemical structure of humic substances (HS) in the polyphenol pathway, and it was considered a crucial process contributing to redox capabilities of HS. However, the microbial formation and degradation of lignin phenol monomers, and their effects on the humification process remains unclear. In this study, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, syringic acid), 4-coumaric acid, and ferulic acid were found to significantly influenced the electron transfer capacity (ETC) of HS.
