Abstract
In this study, effects of three iron (oxyhydr)oxides on the biogas residue composting, i.e., composting with goethite (CFe1), hematite (CFe2) or magnetite (CFe3), were investigated. Results showed that composting performance of CFe1 was much better than those of CFe2 and CFe3. Addition of goethite increased temperature of CFe1 and enhanced lignin humification. More than 31.49% of Fe(III) in goethite was reduced to amorphous Fe (II) during the composting, suggesting that goethite worked as electron acceptor for microbial metabolism and heat generation. The functional bacteria Chloroflexi and Actinobacteria, and genes encoding key enzymes (AA1 family), which play essential roles in humification of lignin, were enriched in CFe1. Besides, goethite reduced 10.96% organic matter (OM) loss probably by increasing the molecular size and aggregation of OM for its protection during the composting. This study shows that adding goethite is an efficient strategy to enhancing the humification of lignin-rich biowaste.
