High concentrations of minerals, heavy metals are often found in mineral wastes (MWs) originated from municipal solid waste incineration plants, so as construction/demolition sites. Such by-products (minerals) often have buffering capacity. The current work provides analysis of total and soluble (dissolved) metal concentrations released by four different MWs (a. cement-based waste, b. incineration (bottom), c. fly and d. boiler ash) supplemented to anaerobic reactors of organic waste at 37 °C. The reactors (continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR)) were ran for 75 days at hydrolytic retention time of 20 days. Genomic DNA extraction, and qPCR and Illumina HiSeq (16S V4) analyses were conducted to investigate microbial community population and composition in anaerobic digestate samples collected from these reactors. Output data from Illumina sequencing analysis were FastQ files analysed using the QIIME2 pipeline to produce a feature table listing the frequency of each assigned microbial taxa per samples. Additional study was conducted on the microbial data to visualise variations in microbial communities using the STAMP software and phyloseq R package. Detailed interpretation and discussion of the results can be found in the related research article [1].
