Abstract:

In this study, common plant-fiber agricultural wastes (corn stalks, peanut shells, and straw) were mixed to storage sludge as bulking agents to study their biodrying performance. Four experimental groups were used, namely, corn stalks, peanut shells, straw, and a control group. Results showed that plant-fiber agricultural wastes could be used as bulking agents in the biodrying process of storage sludge, and the straw group performed best. The straw pile reached a maximum temperature of 57.5 ℃, and the moisture content decreased from 71.83% to 60.01%. The mass fraction of volatile solids (VS) decreased from 62.01% to 52.02%, and the mass ratio of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) showed a decreasing trend with the largest decrease. The w(DOC)/w(DON) gradually decreased during the biodrying process, and the ratio of the straw pile decreased from 4.29 to 2.53, indicating that biodrying could stabilize the materials.

Key words: plant-fiber agricultural wastes, storage sludge, biodrying, stability
