This invention belongs to the field of
solid waste
resource utilization technology, and relates to a method for synergistic reduction of
antibiotic resistance genes in anaerobic digester residues through hydrothermal-induced iron-
calcium-
magnesium-
silicon-aluminum mineralization. Anaerobic digester residues are used as the treatment target. After screening, homogenization, and solids content adjustment, a composite mineralization
inducer is added and the pH is adjusted, and a mineralization reaction is carried out under closed hydrothermal conditions. During the reaction, the hydrothermal effect promotes the rupture of resistant bacterial cells, the deconstruction of
extracellular polymers, and
DNA strand breaks in the digester residues. Simultaneously, iron,
calcium,
magnesium,
silicon, and aluminum components undergo in-situ mineralization with phosphates, carbonates, humic substances, and dissolved
organic matter in the digester residues, forming a composite mineral phase. This complexes, precipitates, encapsulates, and passivates
antibiotic resistance gene fragments, mobile genetic elements,
extracellular DNA, antibiotic residues, and
heavy metals. This method achieves synergistic reduction of resistance genes, decrease in migration risk, weakening of selection pressure, and
resource utilization of digester residues, and has advantages such as short treatment cycle, high reduction efficiency, good product stability, and strong
engineering applicability.
