In order to explore the effect of different particle sizes of biochar on the nutrient changes of pig manureaerobic composting,pig manure and rice straw were used as composting materials,and biochar with particle sizes of 0.15,4.00 and 20.00 mm was added for aerobic composting.The physical and chemical properties,nutrient forms and contents of biochar with different particle sizes during composting were determined,and the mechanism was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The results showed that F1,F2 and F3 entered the high temperature period earlier than F4.The F1 treatment group entered the high temperature period 2 days earlier than the F2 and F3 treatment groups,and entered the high temperature period 3 days earlier than the F4 treatment group.The pH content of F1,F2 and F3 treatment groups increased compared with F4 treatment group.F1,F2 and F3 could reduce the risk of composting salinization,and F3 treatment group had the best effect on reducing composting salinization.The moisture content of F1,F2,F3 and F4 decreased by 58.57%,52.23%,66.18%and 60.90%,respectively.The organic matter content decreased by 45.33%,42.46%,42.97%and 46.67%,respectively.F1,F2 and F3 can effectively reduce the volatilization of NH3.At the end of composting,F1,F2,F3 and F4 increased by 46.08%,41.21%,35.70%and 26.28%compared with the initial total nitrogen.The nitrate nitrogen content increased by 6.45%,9.37%,6.25%and 3.22%,and the total potassium content increased by 33.21%,33.05%,33.67%and 25.83%.The total phosphorus content increased by 60.82%,66.62%,102.6%and 57.51%.Comprehensive analysis showed that 0.15 mm biochar and pig manure compost could effectively increase the nitrogen content of the compost.Therefore,0.15 mm biochar could be used as a high-quality particle size to increase the nitrogen content of compost.
