The transcription and expression of functional genes governed the biotransformation of nutrients during composting. In this study, the diversities of functional genes were investigated in 50 days chicken manure composting through six treatments amended with different dosage of red kaolin. Results showed that based on Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway annotation, Metabolism possessed largest proportion and richest genes number among six pathways, of which carbohydrate metabolism (81007) were significantly greater than others; while Human Disease and Organismal Systems were relatively lower. Meanwhile, the addition of red kaolin has an important impact on dynamics of KEGG genes, the relative abundance of detected genes were distinctively different in all treatments. Similarity analysis also showed the varying influence of different proportion of red kaolin on functional genes during chicken manure composting. In conclusion, application of red kaolin in chicken manure composting effectively improved the relative abundance of functional genes.

Conversion of caustic red mud (RM, Alumina industry waste) into building materials becoming one of the viable solution for its large scale utilization. The building materials developed using RM often results in efflorescence due to its high alkalinity, which is detrimental for the structural integrity of the buildings. The X-ray shielding tiles developed through ceramic route using the mixtures of RM, BaSO and kaolin clay also suffers from severe NaSO efflorescence when sintered above 1000 °C.

The abstract highlights the global issue of environmental contamination caused by organic compounds and the exploration of various methods for its resolution. One such approach involves the utilization of titanium dioxide (TiO) as a photocatalyst in conjunction with natural adsorption materials like kaolin. The study employed a modeling-based approach to investigate the sustainable photocatalytic degradation of acidic dyes using a Jordanian nano-kaolin-TiO composite material and solar energy.

Benggangs are a special type of soil erosion in the hilly granite regions of the tropical and subtropical areas of Southern China. They cause severe soil and water loss, which can severely deteriorate soil quality and threat to the local ecological environment. Soils (red soil, sandy soil and detritus soil) were collected from collapsing wall of a typical Benggang in Changting County of Fujian Province, and their physicochemical and mineralogical properties were analyzed.
