Abstract
Microaeration and iron dosing are promising in situ desulfurization methods for anaerobic digestion (AD). However, limited reports exist on their systematic comparison. Consequently, this study investigated liquid-phase microaeration (60–106 mL air/L reactor /d) and ferric chloride (250–650 mg FeCl 3 /L) dosages in mesophilic AD of sewage sludge operated at a solid residence time of 20 days. Both methods provided up to 88% H 2 S removal and moderate siloxane removal (30–37%) but had no apparent impact on mercaptan removal from biogas. However, the control and test reactors demonstrated equivalent AD performance in terms of biomethane yields, chemical oxygen demand, and total/volatile solids degradation efficiencies, indicating that air and iron dosages were primarily utilized for biogas desulfurization. Still, both methods resulted in substantial changes in microbial community composition. Notably, the indication of syntrophy between facultative microbes and hydrogenotrophic methanogens was intensified by both methods. For both methods, antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) and mobile genetic element (MGE) abundances in digestate decreased considerably due to the decrease in the abundance of potential ARG hosts. Compared to iron dosing, MGE removal was slightly higher in the microaeration reactor. These findings provide valuable insights into the efficacy of these two approaches in desulfurization and the reduction of antibiotic resistance in AD.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
