The Livestock and Urban Waste Research (LUW) Team has developed a successful manure treatment system that couples polymer-assisted separation of liquid manure with composting. This solid-liquid separation of raw swine manure makes it possible to reuse the solid fraction with a high nitrogen and phosphorus content separately from the liquid fraction with a low solids and low phosphorus content.
Aug 20, 2020 · This study investigated the interplay effects of key operational factors on maturity, gaseous emissions, and energy efficiency during composting of livestock manure digestate. Orthogonal experiments were conducted with three factors: digestion duration (15, 30, 45 days), corn stalk addition (15%, 25%, 35%, wet weight based), and aeration rate (0.12, 0.24, 0.48 L kg −1 dry matter (DM) min −1 ).
Nov 27, 2023 · In this paper, to achieve the efficient and economic resource utilization of wheat straw and livestock manure, aerobic composting was carried out with wheat straw as the main body, and pig manure and cow manure were mixed with wheat straw crops at ratios of 20%, 30%, and 40%, respectively, for barrel suspension composting.
Apr 13, 2024 · The pelleting of biochar mixed with livestock manure compost could have the following advantages: (1) use compost as a binder, (2) reduce the moisture content of compost for pelleting by simply mixing without drying, and (3) promote the application of biochar for carbon sequestration by simultaneous application with agricultural
