Abstract

Abstract

Land application after being composted is one of the main streams for the input of fluoroquinolone antibiotics into the soil environment. Aerobic composting can effectively remove FQs and reduce the potential environmental risk. However, only few studies have been reported to discuss the factors affecting the removal kinetics of FQs in sewage compost, during different composting phases. In this study, two groups of 56-day incubation were carried out in 0.5 L bioreactors by adding FQs into the compost collected from the mesophilic-phase and thermophilic-phase matrix during aerobic composting of sewage sludge without FQs added. These incubation trials in each group were performed at the different conditions varying at initial FQs content (0, 2.5, 5.0 mg/kg), water contents (50%, 60%, 70%) and aeration rates (0, 15 mL/min), while the temperatures of two-groups treatments were controlled at those corresponding composting phases (mesophilic, 35℃; thermophilic, 55℃). The removal rates of the FQs in the two groups gradually declined when the initial concentration rose, and the optimal initial FQs concentrations for the mesophilic-phase compos were 5.0 mg/kg (OFL) and 2.5 mg/kg (NOR), while 2.5 mg/kg(OFL) for both mesophilic-phase and thermophilic-phase. In the mesophilic-phase compost, the removal rate of FQs increased firstly and then decreased with increasing the water content of the compost from 50% to 70%, and the optimum water content were 60%, while the removal efficiencies of FQs of the thermophilic-phase compost gradually increased with increasing of the water content. In all composts, the ventilation was more conducive to rapidly remove the FQs in sludge compost than no ventilation. Compared with the mesophilic-phase compost, removing FQs in the thermophilic-phase compost needed a lower initial FQs concentration and a higher water content, while in both composts the sufficient ventilation resulting into aerobic environment, more conducive for removal of FQs than no ventilation.
