报告内容简介:
To enable effective utilization of biomass resources and organic waste, three technologies were studied in our laboratory: 1) biorefining, to produce commodity chemicals (e.g., bioethanol and lactic acid, used as raw materials in the production of biodegradable plastic); 2) producing fermentative biogas, to generate gaseous fuels for energy recovery; and 3) composting, to obtain biofertilizers. Composting is an important technology because it can also convert residues generated from other two technologies. It is a resource recycling technology that, via the biodegradation process, transforms organic waste into valuable organic matter for use as organic amendment for soils. Compost is rich in nutrients and can improve the physico-chemical properties of soil, thus enhancing plant growth. However, accurately and rapidly distinguishing good quality compost is a major concern in the field of compost research. In our laboratory, through analysis of the relationships among organic matter degradation, plant growth using compost samples, and changes in microbial consortia with composting progress, indicator microorganisms of good quality compost were successfully identified. Using the molecular biological method, the quality of compost could be controlled. This can help make compost technology more popular in society. Widespread implementation of compost technology will promote the construction of a sustainable society via organic waste recycling and enhancement of the other two technologies, biorefining and fermentative biogas production.
