The rice straw was pretreated by Fenton reactions and functional bacterial agents were then inoculated during the cooling phase of composting. Three treatment groups were carried out, the control (CK), Fenton pretreatment (FeW) and Fenton pretreatment and bacterial inoculation (FeWI).

Three treatment groups (Fenton pretreatment: FeW, Fenton pretreatment and bacterial inoculation: FeWI, control: CK) were carried out during composting. The results showed that total organic carbon concentration of DOM and HIX showed an increase trend in all treatments in the composting process.

Amino acids not only participated in the synthesis of humus directly as precursors, but also changed the functions of bacterial communities. The composition and diversity of bacterial community changed with the addition of amino acids.

The present study was aimed to assess the role of δ-MnO on humus fractions formation during co-composting of chicken manure and rice straw. Two tests (control group (CK), the addition of δ-MnO (M)) were carried out.

Two tests (control group (CK), adding MnO (M)) were performed. The results indicated that the MnO accelerated the transformation of carbon and nitrogen in composting.

The results indicated that the addition of MnO could improve the concentration of HM by increasing of the content in functional groups during corn straw (CS) and chicken manure (CM) composting. With the addition of MnO, non-aromatic functional groups were responsible for the increase of the HM concentration in CM, while aromatic functional groups were dominating for CS.

The present study aims to accelerate the abiotic pathways, and to investigate how MnO drives the HLS transformation via changing the contribution of abiotic and biotic pathways during composting with different materials.

Composting is a controlled decomposition process accompanied by the stabilization of organic solid waste materials. During composting, active fractions of organic substances can be transformed into HMs containing stable and complex macromolecules.

Corn straw (CS) and chicken manure (CM) have been chosen to be composted. During CS composting, addition of MnO rapidly reduced reducing sugars concentration (decreased by 84.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe aim of this work was to identify the factors which can affect humic substance (HS) formation. Composting periods, HS precursors, bacteria communities and environment factors were recognized as the key factors and few studies explored the potential relationships among them. During composting, HS precursors were mainly formed in the heating and thermophilic phases, but HS were polymerized in the cooling and mature phases.
