Aerobic composting is an effective way to dispose of organic waste. However, considerable carbon is converted into CO and emitted into the atmosphere, which is a waste of the carbon resource and has the potential for the greenhouse gas effect. In this study, an innovative approach coupling aerobic composting exhaust and Spirulina platensis cultivation has been proposed and investigated, resulting in a double-edged solution to mitigating waste and co-generating biomass with a minimal cost of CO supplied in the culture. Experimental results showed that the maximum biomass productivity ranged from 56.61 to 58.38 mg·L·day was achieved using aerobic composting exhaust as a carbon source. Moreover, the CO fixation rates of 46.36 mg·L·day and 76.81 mg·L·day were obtained by S. platensis cultivation. Finally, the chemical composition analysis of S. platensis biomass obtained in an optimum condition showed an abundance of proteins and lipids, thereby indicating its great potential for biofuel industry.

Enhancing the passivation of heavy metals and increasing organic matter content during the composting of sewage sludge poses significant challenges for maximizing its utilization value. Results indicated that in the control, biochar, microbial agents and microbial agents-loaded biochar (BCLMA) groups, BCLMA addition led to a higher composting temperature, with increases of 17-62% in humic acid, 25-73% in germination index, and 30-35% in organic matter consumption. And the residual fraction of Cu, Zn, Cr and Cd were increased by 30%, 12%, 22%, and 17%, respectively.

Existing studies have demonstrated the positive effects of nano-sized iron oxide on compost maturity, yet the impact of nano-sized iron oxide on phosphorus speciation and bacterial communities during the composting process remains unclear. In this study, pig manure and straw were used as raw materials, with biochar-supported nano-sized iron oxide (BC-FeONPs) as an additive and calcium peroxide (CaO) as a co-agent, to conduct an aerobic composting experiment with pig manure. Four treatments were tested: CK (control), F1 (1% BC-FeONPs), F2 (5% BC-FeONPs), and F3 (5% BC-FeONPs + 5% CaO).

The losses of reactive gaseous nitrogen (N), including ammonia (NH) and nitrous oxide (NO), represent a pressing environmental issue during composting. However, the impact of hydrothermal carbonization aqueous phase (HAP) on compost gaseous N emissions and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Herein, Quercus acutissima leaves-derived HAP and its modified HAP (MHAP) were added to the chicken manure compost at 5 % (w/w) and 10 % (w/w) applied rates to observe changes in NH and NO fluxes, compost properties and bacterial communities.

Composting organic waste is a sustainable recycling method in agricultural systems, yet the microbial preferences for different substrates and their influence on composting efficiency remain underexplored. Here, 210 datasets of published 16S ribosomal DNA amplicon sequences from straw and manure composts worldwide were analyzed, and a database of 278 bacterial isolates was compiled. Substrate-driven microbiome variations were most prominent during the initial composting stages.

Microbial inoculations have emerged as a key approach to address the low natural microbial activity of traditional composting technologies. It is crucial for successfully promoting manure composting to understand the influences of microbial inoculations on fungal communities and its mechanisms. To investigate the effects of microbial inoculation on diversity characteristics, tropic mode, and co-occurrence network of fungal communities during composting, an aerobic composting experiment of chicken manure inoculated with microbial agents was performed.
