Abstract
Metagenomic sequencing technology was applied to evaluates the microbial diversity, functional activity, and synergistic relationships during the anaerobic fermentation process of landfill leachate and weathered coal, aiming to assess the key metabolic pathways in the combined anaerobic fermentation process of leachate and weathered coal. The results indicate that co-fermentation significantly enhances the production of biogenic methane. Furthermore, co-fermentation promotes the abundance of Paracoccus that involved in the degradation of organic pollutants, and enriches methane-producing archaea such as Methanothrix and Methanoculleus. Significant increases in carbohydrate enzymes such as lignin-degrading enzyme AAs, as well as GH2, GH43, GT4. The relative abundance of genes related to toluene degradation in co-anaerobic fermentation is 2.5 times and 1.3 times that of singular weathered coal and landfill leachate, respectively. The addition of leachate promotes the metabolic pathway of acetate conversion to methane. This research provides mechanistic studies on the treatment of waste leachate and weathered coal, and provides new ideas for environmental protection and clean energy.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
