Effects of Temperature and Substrate Composition on Aerobic Composting of Urban Landscape Waste and Chicken Manure Using Water Bath Method
[Objective] The effects of temperature and material ratio on urban landscaping waste and chicken manure water bath aerobic composting were studied in order to provide technical guidance and theoretical basis for large-scale aerobic composting.[Methods] A water bath temperature-controlled aerobic composting device was constructed with water bath incubator
air pump
gas rotameter
thermometer
fermentation bottle and a gas bottle. Water bath composting with different ratios of urban gardening waste to chicken manure of 2:3
2:1
3:1
and 5:1 (named A
B
C
and D
respectively) was set.[Results] The optimal temperature range of microbial metabolic activity was 50~55℃. The degradation of organic matter by microbes was significantly inhibited at temperature ≥ 55℃. All four treatments experienced the heating phase
high temperature phase
cooling and medium temperature phases. The nitrogen loss rate in treatments A-D was 47.11%±0.55%
63.82%±1.05%
and 53.43%±0.71%
and 36.38%±0.83%
respectively. Obviously
the highest nitrogen retention was achieved in treatment D. The seed germination rate and germination index were also evaluated. The germination rate of composting products in treatments A-D was 96.7%±2.11%
96.7%±2.25%
84.4%±1.98% and 96.7%±2.06%
respectively
and all of which reached the criteria of maturity (≥ 80%).[Conclusion] The optimum temperature of urban landscaping waste and aerobic compost with chicken manure water bath was 50~55℃
and the nitrogen retention was the highest in group D. The compost products of the four groups all reached the evaluation standard of maturity.
