Abstract
With the continuous recognition of green, organic and non-polluting products, organic fertilizers play an increasingly vital role in agricultural production. Among them, hydrochar-based organic fertilizer has attracted widespread attention recently. The present study evaluated the potential of digestate from anaerobic digestion of food waste for the preparation of hydrochar-based organic fertilizer by straw-based, FeCl3-catalyzed hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). Under the optimal conditions, a hydrochar-based organic fertilizer with > 25 wt% humus content and limited pollution risk was successfully prepared. The pot experiment demonstrated the feasibility of improving the physicochemical properties of red soil and promoting crop growth after adding hydrochar in place of commercial fertilizer. In addition, the function of zeolite on nutrient recovery in hydrothermal liquid (HTL) was analyzed, and preparing the slow-release organic fertilizer by mixing the nutrient-rich zeolite with hydrochar in a mass ratio of 1:4 was proposed. This work has significant implications for achieving the efficient resource recovery of digestate.
