Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biochar preparation and application, and in particular to a method for reducing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in biogas residue and liquid produced by anaerobic fermentation of pig manure by utilizing modified biochar. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as the use of antibiotics has become increasingly widespread across various industries, including medicine, animal husbandry, and aquaculture, the problem of antibiotic abuse has become increasingly serious. In the livestock industry, the misuse of antibiotics not only leads to high concentrations of antibiotic residues in livestock manure but also induces the production of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in livestock. ARGs are a class of genes that confer resistance to antibiotics in bacteria. These genes typically encode specific proteins or enzymes that, through various mechanisms, enable bacteria to survive and reproduce in the presence of antibiotics. ARGs can persist, spread, and proliferate in various environmental media, such as soil, water, and air, and enter the human body through the food chain, posing a threat to human health. Due to insufficient assimilation, antibiotics that enter livestock and are not fully absorbed are excreted in the form of feces, resulting in a high abundance of ARGs in livestock and poultry manure. The abundance of ARGs in pig manure is higher than in chicken and cattle manure.

[0003] Chinese patent CN116462181A discloses a potassium dihydrogen phosphate-modified biochar material, preparation method, and application. Rice husks are placed in a tubular furnace, nitrogen is introduced, and the temperature is raised to 500-600°C for carbonization. CO2 is then introduced to the furnace to produce rice husk-based biochar. The material is then placed in a potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, stirred, allowed to stand, filtered, and centrifuged. The solution is then rinsed with water until the pH is near neutral and dried to produce potassium dihydrogen phosphate-modified biochar. This patent uses potassium dihydrogen phosphate-modified biochar as an enhancer, added to a substrate with a total solids content of 7%-9%, to reduce the abundance of resistance genes in pig manure. However, this treatment process has low efficiency and high energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the problems of low treatment efficiency and high energy consumption in the existing methods for reducing the abundance of resistance genes in pig manure, the present invention provides a method for reducing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in sludge and liquid from anaerobic fermentation of pig manure using modified biochar. Biochar modified with citric acid solution is mixed with pig manure and anaerobically fermented, which significantly reduces the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in pig manure.

[0005] The technical solutions of the present invention are as follows: A method for reducing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in biogas residue and liquid from anaerobic fermentation of pig manure using modified biochar comprises the following steps: Step 1: Preparation of raw biochar: pyrolysis of biomass raw materials under anaerobic conditions, followed by screening, washing and drying to obtain raw biochar; Step 2: modification of the original biochar, chemically modifying the original biochar obtained in step 1 using a citric acid solution to obtain modified biochar; Step 3: The modified biochar is dried, crushed, ground, and sieved in sequence, and then the pig manure and the sieved modified biochar are evenly mixed in a mass ratio of 9-11:1. The moisture content of the mixture of pig manure and modified biochar is adjusted to 65%-75% to obtain a semi-fluid mixture. The mass ratio of pig manure to modified biochar is preferably 10:1. Step 4: Anaerobic fermentation of the mixed material, controlling the temperature of the anaerobic fermentation at 31°C-55°C, and controlling the time of the anaerobic fermentation at 25-45 days.

[0006] Furthermore, in step 1, the biomass raw material is corn stalks and / or rice husks. Corn stalks are widely available, and rice husks are a byproduct of rice processing. The present invention uses corn stalks and / or rice husks as biomass raw materials, which helps reduce raw material costs.

[0007] Furthermore, in step 1, the high-temperature pyrolysis temperature is 400-650°C, preferably 420-500°C, the high-temperature pyrolysis time is 1-2.5 hours, the sieve mesh size is 80 mesh, and the drying temperature is 50-110°C. High-temperature pyrolysis not only enables the raw biochar to form a high specific surface area, a multi-level pore structure, and a highly stable aromatized structure, but also destroys residual antibiotics, pathogens, and weed seeds in the raw biomass, reducing the risk of secondary contamination.

[0008] Furthermore, in step 2, the concentration of the citric acid solution is 1-3 mol / L, preferably 1 mol / L. The use of citric acid solution to modify the original biochar can add organic groups such as carbonyl, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups to the original biochar, while allowing the biochar to form more micropores and mesopores, significantly increasing the specific surface area, and providing a large number of adsorption sites for resistance genes and their host microorganisms, making them easier to be captured by biochar. The carbonyl groups added to the original biochar play an important role in the degradation of antibiotics in the fermentation material, and the decrease in the level of antibiotics is very beneficial to the reduction of resistance gene levels. Since citric acid solution is green and environmentally friendly, the use of citric acid solution to modify the original biochar can avoid the risk of secondary pollution.

[0009] Furthermore, in step 2, the chemical modification method is: the original biochar is evenly dispersed and soaked in a citric acid solution. The original biochar is immersed in the citric acid solution in a dispersed state, allowing it to fully contact the citric acid solution, thereby improving the modification efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the soaking time is 2-5 hours, preferably 3 hours.

[0011] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the raw biochar to the citric acid is 1:1 to 4. When 50 g of the raw biochar is immersed in a citric acid solution with a concentration of 1 mol / L, the amount of the citric acid solution used is preferably 500-1000 ml.

[0012] Furthermore, in step three, the particle size of the modified biochar after sieving is 0.9-1.5 mm, preferably 1 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, in step 4, anaerobic fermentation is carried out in a one-way exhaust tank. The one-way exhaust tank includes a glass tank body with a single-hole one-way air release valve at the bottle mouth of the glass tank body. The one-way exhaust tank can balance the requirements of airtightness of the anaerobic fermentation environment and gas release, playing the dual role of preventing oxygen from entering and removing metabolic gases generated during the anaerobic fermentation process, providing a stable oxygen-free environment for anaerobic microorganisms, and ensuring the efficient and safe anaerobic fermentation process.

[0014] Furthermore, the antibiotic resistance gene includes a tetracycline resistance gene and / or a sulfonamide resistance gene. The tetracycline resistance gene may be one or more of tetW, tetA and tetM, and the sulfonamide resistance gene may be at least one of sul1 and sul2.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention provides a method for reducing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in biogas residue and liquid from anaerobic fermentation of pig manure using modified biochar. The method comprises the following steps: chemically modifying the original biochar using a citric acid solution, introducing functional groups such as carbonyl, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups into the original biochar, thereby improving the specific adsorption capacity of the biochar for tetracycline antibiotics and / or sulfonamide antibiotics remaining in pig manure, reducing the selection pressure of tetracycline antibiotics and / or sulfonamide antibiotics on host bacteria of antibiotic resistance genes, inhibiting the enrichment of resistance genes from the source, and facilitating the reduction of the abundance of tetracycline resistance genes and / or sulfonamide resistance genes in pig manure; using the citric acid solution as a modifier for the original biochar can also improve the biogas yield while avoiding the risk of secondary pollution, thereby achieving coordinated resource utilization; and controlling the temperature of the anaerobic fermentation at 35-55°C is conducive to inhibiting the activity of pathogens carrying tetracycline resistance genes and / or sulfonamide resistance genes, thereby reducing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes.

[0017] Example 1 A method for reducing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in biogas residue and liquid from anaerobic fermentation of pig manure using modified biochar comprises the following steps: Step 1: Preparation of raw biochar: Corn stalks were selected as the biomass feedstock. Nitrogen was first introduced into the pyrolysis furnace for 10 minutes to expel oxygen from the furnace. The pyrolysis was then carried out at 500°C for 2 hours in the absence of oxygen. After pyrolysis, the stalks were sieved through an 80-mesh sieve and rinsed with deionized water. The stalks were then oven-dried at 50-110°C to produce the raw biochar. To ensure an oxygen-free environment, the nitrogen flow rate was controlled at 1.5-2.0 L / min during the initial heating phase (within 10 minutes). After stabilization, the nitrogen flow rate was adjusted to 0.5-1.0 L / min.

[0018] Step 2: Modification of the original biochar. 50 g of the original biochar obtained in step 1 was evenly dispersed in 500 ml of 1 mol / L citric acid solution and soaked for 3 hours. After taking it out, it was washed with deionized water and filtered with quantitative filter paper, and then dried in an oven at 105°C to constant weight to obtain modified biochar.

The particle size of the modified biochar obtained after sieving is about 1 mm. Then, fresh pig manure with a moisture content of 54% and the sieved modified biochar are evenly mixed in a mass ratio of 10:1. Water is added to dilute the mixture of fresh pig manure and modified biochar, and the moisture content of the mixture of fresh pig manure and modified biochar is adjusted to 65% to obtain a semi-fluid mixture.

[0020] Step 4: Anaerobic fermentation of the mixture: Add the mixture to a 2L anaerobic fermentation tank, seal it, and perform anaerobic fermentation at 35°C for 30 days. During this period, the pH value and methane production are regularly monitored to maintain the pH between 6.5 and 7.5, and the methane production is 132ml / kg. After anaerobic fermentation, biogas residue and biogas liquid are obtained. The anaerobic fermentation tank is a one-way exhaust tank. The one-way exhaust tank consists of a glass tank body with a single-hole one-way vent valve at the bottle mouth of the glass tank body.

[0021] Step 5: Collect biogas residue and biogas slurry samples and use real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR to determine the absolute abundance of the tetracycline resistance gene tetW and the sulfonamide resistance gene sul1 in the biogas residue and biogas slurry samples.
