The effects of salinity shock on the anaerobic treatment of fracturing wastewater regarding chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal performance, sludge characteristics and microbial community were investigated. Results showed COD removal efficiency decreased from 76.0% to 69.1%, 65.6%, 33.7% and 21.9% with the increase of salinity from 2.5 g/L to 10, 15, 25 and 45 g/L, respectively. The cumulative biogas production decreased by 13.8%–81.1% when salinity increased to 15–85 g/L. The increase of salinity led to the decline in particle size of granular sludge, and the activity of granular sludge, including SMA, coenzyme F₄₂₀ and dehydrogenase, was inhibited significantly. Flow cytometry indicated the percentage of damaged cells in granular sludge gradually increased with the increase of salinity. Sequence analysis illustrated that microbial community structure in anaerobic digestion reactor was influenced by the salinity, high salinity reduced the diversity of archaea and decreased the abundance of methanogens, especially Methanosaeta.
