AI Article Synopsis
- This study explored how phosphogypsum and superphosphate additives affect the composting of kitchen waste, focusing on maturity and gas emissions.
- The compost was prepared in 60-L reactors for 35 days with a control group for comparison, revealing that both additives did not negatively impact the compost's maturity.
- Results showed significant reductions in methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH3) emissions while slightly increasing nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions; overall, composting with these additives lowered total greenhouse gas emissions by 17.4% and 7.3%, respectively.
Article Abstract
This study investigated the effects of phosphogypsum and superphosphate on the maturity and gaseous emissions of composting kitchen waste. Two amended compost treatments were conducted using phosphogypsum and superphosphate as additives with the addition of 10% of initial raw materials (dry weight). A control treatment was also studied. The treatments were conducted under aerobic conditions in 60-L reactors for 35 days. Maturity indexes were determined, and continuous measurements of CH4, N2O, and NH3 were taken. Phosphogypsum and superphosphate had no negative effects on compost maturity, although superphosphate inhibited the temperature rise in the first few days. The addition of phosphogypsum and superphosphate drastically reduced CH4 emissions (by 85.8% and 80.5%, respectively) and decreased NH3 emissions (by 23.5% and 18.9%, respectively). However, a slight increase in N2O emissions (by 3.2% and 14.8%, respectively) was observed. Composting with phosphogypsum and superphosphate reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 17.4% and 7.3% respectively.

This study investigated the effects of dicyandiamide, phosphogypsum and superphosphate on greenhouse gas emissions and compost maturity during pig manure composting. The results indicated that the addition of dicyandiamide and phosphorus additives had no negative effect on organic matter degradation, and could improve the compost maturity. Adding dicyandiamide alone reduced the emissions of ammonia (NH), methane (CH) and nitrous oxide (NO) by 9.

This study investigated the effects of the combination of phosphogypsum with calcium oxide (PPG + CaO), superphosphate with calcium oxide (SSP + CaO) and zeolite (Zeolite) on composting maturity and heavy metal passivation in pig manure composting. The results showed that all treatments reached the maturity requirements and the phosphorus-containing additive treatments had higher final germination indices (GIs). Compared with CK, additive treatments enhanced the compost maturity by promoting volatile fatty acids (VFAs) decomposition (26.

This study compared different types and addition amounts of phosphorous additives on nitrogen conservation and maturity during pig manure composting. Phosphogypsum and superphosphate were applied with the same amount of phosphorus (5% of the initial total nitrogen, molar basis) or weight (10% of initial dry matter) and compared to a control treatment without additives. Results show that phosphorous additives could effectively conserve nitrogen.

This study assessed the effects of superphosphate (SPP) and phosphogypsum (PPG) on the bacterial and fungal community succession and molecular ecological networks during composting. Adding SPP and PPG had positive effects on the bacterial richness and diversity, negative effects on the fungal richness and diversity. The microbial diversity and richness were higher in PPG than SPP.
