Abstract:To explore the effects of velocity variation on methane and sulfide generation in urban sewage pipes, the distribution characteristics of the flora and functional genes of methanogens (MA) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were investigated by controlling the flow velocity of sewage pipes in the pilot system. The results showed that methane and sulfide were mainly distributed in solid sediment interstitial water and liquid sewage, which were transferred to the liquid phase and the gas phase with the velocity was increased from 0.1m/s to 0.7m/s. Macroeconomic sequencing of the microorganisms in the pipeline showed that the relative abundance of MA microflora increased by 1.24% and the relative abundance of SRB reduced by 0.4%. In the detection of critical enzymes and genes of methane metabolism and sulfur metabolism pathways, it was found that the relative abundance of critical enzymes and genes in the methane metabolism pathway was higher at 0.7m/s and that of critical enzymes and genes in the sulfur metabolism pathway was higher at low flow velocities.
