    Abstract:

    A laboratory scale experiment of chicken manure digestion cocomposting was carried out using a reactor system with oxygen monitoring and feedback control. The physiochemical indexes, including temperature, oxygen concentration, volatile solid content (VS), moisture, C/N, pH value, EC, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, biological index, and main gas emissions (CH4, NH3 and N2O) were monitored and analyzed, respectively. Physical, chemical and biological indicators presented a good dynamic corresponding relationship, and the degradation of cellulose materials mainly appeared at the middle and later periods of aerobic cocomposting. Temperature and oxygen concentration had an effect on gas emissions: high temperature promoted the emissions of NH3 and N2O with a significantly positive correlation (r=0.378; r=0.695), high temperature and oxygen concentration decreased the emission of CH4 with a significantly negative correlation (r=-0.470; r=-0.494). Gas emissions can be controlled through adjusting the levels of composing oxygen concentration and temperature. Multiparameters characterization and correlation analyses can provide theoretical and methodological basis for process optimization of chicken manure and digestion co-composting. However, characterization and the coordination mechanism should be explored in depth on fermentation performance and gas emissions combining with comprehensive multiindexes during and digestion cocomposting in future studies.
