Abstract
⺠The impact of metal oxide nanoparticles (TiO2, Al2O3, SiO2 and ZnO) on sludge digestion has never been reported. ⺠The generation of methane was only affected by higher dosages of nano-ZnO. ⺠The released Zn2+ from nano-ZnO was a main reason for its inhibitory effect on methane generation. ⺠The steps of sludge hydrolysis, acidification and methanation were inhibited by nano-ZnO. ⺠Nano-ZnO decreased the activities of protease, acetate kinase and F420.
