Abstract:The study focused on the effect of microbial inoculant composite (Bacillus subtili and Phanerochaete chrysosporium) on static composting of excess activated sludge under forced ventilation.According to the temperature change in the composting process (mesophilic(0~5d), thermophilic (6~12d), and maturing(13~28d)), the number of bacterial population of the compost inoculated with the microbes was obviously higher than that of the control, and the population of the thermophilic fungi also significantly increased in the thermophilic stage,effectively enhanceing the degradation of organic matter and accelerateing maturing of the compost.The germination index (GI) of radish seed for the experiment group reached 50% spending 3d less than that for the control one,indicating that addition of the compound microbial inoculant acutely accelerated the decreasing of the compost biological toxicity.However, due to the relative enrichment effect, the Cd (II) content of compost product increased slightly.
