Developing Reduction Technology of Ammonium-Salt Based Inorganic Second Aerosol from Livestock Manure Composting Process

Disturbance to the global nitrogen (N) cycle receives less attention compared with the carbon cycle, which imbalanced more N pollution. The N cycle related with animals and various industrial activities influenced in a complicate manner based on reactive forms of Ammonia (NH₃) and NOx. Atmospheric transfer of reactive nitrogen compounds, especially NH₃ and the relations with balance of fine particulate matter (PM) are solely focused on the domestic effect from the agriculture in South Korea while the external impact on particulate matter is mainly affected from China. Additionally, the methodology of dry/wet deposition network was engaged in our research site with help of US National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) to develop a comprehensive multi-pollutant approach for N, with special attention to the fate of emissions from agriculture. The reduction technology of ammonium-salt based inorganic second aerosol from livestock manure composting process was applied using the cattle manure-based biochar as the compost ingredients of moisture control mixing material.
