Abstract:The emissions of greenhouse gases and ammonia during the composting process have received widespread attention. This paper systematically summarizes the emission mechanisms of greenhouse gases and ammonia during the composting of organic wastes, and introduces the emission reduction mechanisms from two aspects: the physicochemical properties of compost(carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, temperature, moisture content, and pH) and the application of amendments(biochar). Previous studies have demonstrated that the composting process involves complex interactions among multiple physicochemical parameters. To achieve efficient composting and reduce environmental pollution, these parameters need to be considered in a coordinated way and optimized as a whole. On the basis of optimizing the physicochemical parameters of composting, the addition of biochar can further control nitrogen loss, reduce greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions, and promote the practical utilization of compost products as well as the popularization and application of composting technology.
