Abstract:The removal performance of NOR, OFL and their degradation products from traditional thermophilic composting (TC) and from hyper-thermophilic composting (HTC) were compared. The results showed that after 25 days' hyper-thermophilic composting, the removal rate of NOR with TC and HTC was 91.8% and 92.1% with the residual NORP of 628 and 668μg/kg, respectively, while the removal rate of OFL was 92.1% and 88.1%, respectively with the residual OFLP and 191 and 675μg/kg, respectively. Compared with TC, HTC reduced the ecological risk of NOR and OFL by 3.1% and 30.5%, respectively, indicating that HTC could more effectively remove the ofloxacin and its degradation products and thus reduced the risk of environmental exposure to OFL in composting products. At the same time, the DOC/DON of hyper-thermophilic composting products was lower with the higher seed germination index and the plant toxicity of composting products was also lower, which is must be beneficial to the safe land use of sludge.
