Abstract In response to the issue of elevated greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen loss during the conventional co-composting of municipal sludge and straw blends, the combined addition of corn straw biochar (CSB) and coal gangue-based zeolite (ZL) was employed. To mitigate emissions of CH4, NH3 and N2O during the composting process, 10% CSB was mixed with varying proportions of ZL (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%) based on the mass ratio of additives to the sludge and corn straw mixture. Meanwhile, an untreated control group was concurrently maintained. The findings revealed that the co-application of CSB and ZL (marked as 10%CSB+ZL) led to a significant augmentation in composting temperature and pH value in comparison to the control. This enhancement facilitated enhanced degradation of organic matter within the compost, with the degradation rates surpassing those observed in both the control group and 10%CSB treatment. The simultaneous application of these two addition agents yielded a reduction in the nitrogen loss during the composting process. Compared with the control, the cumulative emission of CH4, NH3 and N2O in the 10%CSB+10%ZL, 10%CSB+20%ZL, 10%CSB+30%ZL treatments decreased by percentages ranging from 87.81% to 90.87%、41.61% to 57.45%、85.01% to 94.92%, respectively, The cumulative emission of CO2 in these treatments exhibited a substantial increase, ranging from 55.45% to 86.55% relative to the control. Furthermore, enzymatic activities, including dehydrogenase, protease, xylanase and phosphatise, experienced augmentation during the composting process. Biochar functioned as a bulking agent, increasing compost porosity to stimulate microbial growth and bolster related enzymatic activities. Coal gangue-based zeolite contributed to gas emission reduction through an adsorption mechanism. The 10%CSB+20%ZL treatment emerged as the most effective strategy in decreasing nitrogen losses, primarily by curtailing the emission rates of CH4, NH3 and N2O during the composting process.
