Research Progress on Efficient Aerobic Composting Technology for Livestock and Poultry Manure
AI summary Read the abstract
This review systematically examines efficient aerobic composting technologies for livestock and poultry manure, summarizing advances in controlling heavy metal contamination, antibiotic residues, estrogens, and microplastics while reducing greenhouse gas emissions during the composting process.
This paper systematically reviews the challenges faced by aerobic composting in pollution reduction and carbon emission mitigation, including the control of heavy metal contamination, antibiotic residue, estrogen, microplastics, and the reduction of environmentally impactful gases (including greenhouse gases). Based on the analysis of these points, technological advancements for emission reduction, pollution control, and efficiency enhancement are summarized, aiming to provide scientific references for the upgrading of aerobic composting technology for livestock and poultry manure. This research holds significant importance for promoting the green development transformation of agricultural aerobic composting technology and enhancing energy conservation, emission reduction, and pollution control in the agricultural sector.

Microbial regulation of organic solid waste composting: Lignocellulose degradation (fertilization), process gas emissions, and containment of typical pollutants
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines how microbial agents can improve composting of organic solid waste by enhancing lignocellulose breakdown, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and managing pollutants including microplastics. Researchers found that inoculating compost with bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes accelerates decomposition, promotes humus formation, and can decrease heavy metal bioavailability and degrade antibiotics. The study suggests that complex microbial formulations show greater stability and environmental adaptability due to synergistic effects.
