Abstract

Abstract

Treatment of organic waste with anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the most important steps in achieving carbon neutrality, but the treatment of biogas digestate limits the application and development of AD. In this paper, four typical types of organic waste digestate (i.e., food waste, sewage sludge, agricultural waste, and organic fraction of municipal solid waste) were studied. Their characteristics, nutrient and heavy metals concentrations were investigated, with the data derived from literature and internal unpublished databases of large and medium-sized AD plants. Furthermore, the bottleneck and future development of digestate treatment were discussed, by comparing the differences in policies, regulations, and standards from China and overseas. The opportunities and challenges of traditional digestate disposal means and the emerging resource-based technologies were evaluated, with a focus on transportation distance, scale-up capability, operation cost, and carbon emission, aiming to provide new information for policy formulation, technological development, and industrial applications.
