The effect of different carbon sources on nitrogen (N) transformation and N loss through nitrogenous gas volatilization during composting of manure is not clear. Disaccharides had moderate degradation stability compared to monosaccharides and polysaccharides. Therefore, we investigated the effect of adding sucrose (nonreducing sugar) and maltose (reducing sugar) as carbon sources on volatile N loss and hydrolysable organic nitrogen (HON) transformation.

As a kind of livestock manure, chicken manure (CM) was rich in organic matter and microorganisms. However, a large amount of foul gas discharged by its random stacking not only threatened the environment, but also caused harm to human health. In view of the serious carbon loss and the unclear action mechanism of microbial community on carbon metabolism during CM composting, the effect of adding regulators on the sequestration of organic carbon was explored.

This study aimed to explore the main pathway of humic acid (HA) formation during the thermophilic phase (TP) of aerobic fermentation, clarify the contribution of Maillard reaction. These experiments were carried out on cow dung, chicken manure and rice straw. Results indicated that the maximum temperature reached 60.

Transforming organic waste into stable carbon by composting is an eco-friendly way. However, the complex environment, huge microbial community and complicated metabolic of composting have limited the directional transformation of organic carbon, which is also not conducive to the fixation of organic carbon. Therefore, this review is based on the formation of humus, a stable by-product of composting, to expound how to promote carbon fixation by increasing the yield of humus.

The aim of this study was to identify the effects of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) inoculation on humus formation. Both nitrogen conversion and humus formation were considered as the main processes, because NH-N-like compounds not only substrates of nitrification, but also precursors of humus. During composting, the inoculation of AOB indeed increased humus concentration by fixing NH emission as NH-N, but it has also promoted nitrogen transformation.

A new and efficient method for diaryl selenide catalyzed vicinal CFS hydroxylation of 1,1-multisubstitued alkenes has been developed. Various trifluoromethylthiolated tertiary alcohols could be readily synthesized under mild conditions. This method is also effective for the intramolecular cyclization of alkenes tethered by carboxylic acid, hydroxy, sulfamide, or ester groups and is associated with the introduction of a CFS group.

An efficient approach to vicinal trifluoromethylthioamination of alkenes with a broad substrate scope catalyzed by electron-rich diaryl selenide has been developed. This intermolecular amination strategy was successfully applied to SCF3-esterification of alkenes using weak acids as nucleophiles.
