Optimization of low-temperature drying of laying-hen manure using response surface methodology

ABSTRACT

Manure-drying system using exhausted air from laying hen houses or ambient air has been extensively used in China to dewater the manure for easy transportation and to reduce pathogen levels prior to land application. Due to the climate influence or inappropriate setting of technological parameters, there are some issues in this manure-drying system, such as low dehydration rate, high energy consumption, and high ammonia emission. A purpose-designed experimental drying apparatus was set up to simulate the commercial manure drying system. Drying experiments were carried out to assess the impacts of hot air temperature (15–35°C), air velocity (0.6–1.8 m/s) and manure layer thickness (60–140 mm) on fan’s energy consumption, dehydration rate, and nitrogen loss rate. The response surface analysis method and sub-stepping method was used to analyze the relationships between the response variables and the influence factors. The drying curves were drawn, and the quadratic regression mathematical models that described the relations between the experimental indices and the influence factors were established. The optimal combination of technological parameters for drying laying-hen manure was obtained through conducting a multi-objective function optimization by function-expected optimization. The optimal parameters are as follows: hot air temperature of 35°C, air velocity of 1.60 m/s, and manure layer thickness of 85 mm. The results also indicate that raising the hot air temperature increased the value of synthesis objective function when the hot air temperature was in 26–35°C. The results can provide a theoretical basis for low-temperature drying of laying-hen manure in actual production.

Implications: A large amount of poultry manure is produced yearly in China, which has become a tremendous pressure on the environment when it cannot be utilized as resources. A more sustainable solution using the residual heat from the poultry house ventilation or ambient hot air has been widely used in China. This drying method can significantly reduce energy consumption compared to the traditional way. However, due to the influence of climate or inappropriate setting of technological parameters, issues such as high energy consumption and high ammonia emission still exist in this method. It is necessary to optimize the low-temperature drying process of laying-hen manure, to reduce energy consumption and nitrogen loss rate.     

Antibiotic contamination in a typical water-rich city in southeast China: a concern for drinking water resource safety

Abstract

The occurrence and distribution in the aquatic environment of Nanjing of 49 antibiotics from seven therapeutic classes were investigated using an improved analytical method developed for multiclass target analysis. The results showed that these antibiotics are widely present in the water bodies of this city, with a total concentration of up to 1.958?μg L^?1. The most abundant class was tetracyclines, contributing 43.7% to the total antibiotic burden. Lincomycin was detected in all samples, and the detection rate of clindamycin was 90.5%. An exploratory analysis of the data points was performed by unsupervised pattern recognition (hierarchical cluster analysis, HCA) in an attempt to clarify the pollution level in different sampling areas, and robust cluster solutions grouped the data according to their different antibiotic contaminant profiles. The safety of drinking water resources was emphasized, and the rivers, as the main receiving water body for treated and untreated wastewater in this city, were more seriously contaminated than the surrounding lakes and reservoir, not only in concentration but also in detection frequency, in our study as well as in similar research studies. A correlation analysis between the presence of antibiotics and the environmental factors was conducted, and it was found that antibiotic contamination and water quality were closely connected; the better the water quality, the lower the antibiotic contamination. Positive correlations existed between the antibiotics and tested heavy metals, as well as between antibiotics and boron and arsenic. However, whether these correlations resulted from their reaction or a common source was difficult to determine, and the mechanism requires further exploration.
