The technology of aerobic composting of PMS was investigated. The ratio of the material components was as follows, sludge:chicken dung:spill=6kg:2kg:4kg, which could attain 55% moisture content (MC) and 25 the ration of carbon to nitrogen (C/N). The aeration rule of fan was controlled by single chip microcomputer (SCM). During composting, the system temperature more than 55℃ lasted for 3 days, pH changed in the range of 6.5-8.5 and MC changed between 53% to 60%. PMS became mature on the 20th day. The germination index (GI) of compost attained 95% or so and coliform was 23/100 ml volatile solid (VS) and organic carbon (OC) were stable at the content of 60% and 30%, respectively. The result showed that this technology could make the sludge stable and innocuous. A pot experiment with latosolic red soil mixed with paper mill sludge compost (PMSC) was carried on. The result showed that PMSC could increase the crop biomass, the soil nutrients and the physical characteristics of the soil, such as OC, total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP). The total amount of heavy metals in the soil was measured to be lower than the Environmental standard for soil in China (GB15618-1995). So PMSC was a good and safe soil amendment.展开更多

Field investigation indicated that three thin coal seams encountered large mined-out area at one side and free surface of hill slope at the other side, which lead to the caving of roof strata movement, ground movement and crown crack along the preferred orientations of joints. The three-dimensional numeri- cal modeling study on the case demonstrated that the plasticity failure occurred gradually along with the extension of mined-out area in depth. When the depth of mining reached the verge defined by the seismic prospecting method, a large mount of tension failure occurred on the crown of the slope. The factor of safety was 1.36 calculated by the shear strength reduction technique, which indicated the slope was in stable state. The measurement showed that the residual deformation occurred before 1998 and became stable subsequently, which indicated that the residual deformation almost finished and the slope is in stable state.展开更多
