| Abstract: |
| To effectively utilize the advantageous adsorption properties of attapulgite, reduce carbon and nitrogen losses and stench gas emissions during the fermentation of organic fertilizer, four different additions of attapulgite(0, 5%, 10%, 15%) were set up in this study to discuss the effects of attapulgite additions on temperature, nutrient content and nutrient loss rate during the fermentation. The results showed that, compared with the non-supplemented control, adding attapulgite could reduce the maximum temperature of compost fermentation, prolong the duration of high temperature and reduce the rate of water loss in the compost; Adding 5% attapulgite significantly reduced the total nitrogen mass loss by approximately 10 percent points. However, when the amount of attapulgite was >10% the nitrogen mass loss increased. Overall, the addition of attapulgite significantly reduced the mass and content loss of organic matter, and the addition of attapulgite had a significantly negative correlation with the mass loss rate of organic matter. Furthermore, the addition of attapulgite increased the potassium content of organic fertilizer, but had no significant effect on the phosphorus content. Therefore, the suitable amount of attapulgite in the organic fertilizer production process is 5%~10% of the total mass of the material. |
