▎ 摘　　要

The addition of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and reduced graphene oxide decorated with magnetite nanoparticles (rGO-MNPs) was evaluated during biomethane enrichment process. rGO-MNPs presented the highest beneficial impact on the hydrogenotrophic assays with an improvement of 47 Wo in CH4 production. The improvement was linked to the increase of the electron shuffling capacity (ESC) by rGO-MNPs addition, which boosted the hydrogenotrophic activity of microorganisms, to the rGO and rGO-MNPs, which served as reservoirs of hydrogen, improving H-2 transport from the gas to the liquid phase, and to the iron ions released, which acted as a dietary supply for microorganisms. Raman and XRD confirmed a greater disorder and lower crystallinity of rGO-MNPs after the hydrogenotrophic assays, with a lower effect at a nanoparticle concentration of 50 mg/L. Moreover, FTIR analysis indicated that rGO-MNPs were oxidized during the hydrogenotrophic tests. This study highlights the advantages of adding rGO-MNPs as a magnetic nanocomposite. Furthermore, rGO-MNPs can be easily recovered, minimizing their release to the environment.
