Urine source separated latrine pit is very suitable for the reconstruction of toilets in the rural areas in alpine-cold and water shortage area in China. However, urea hydrolysis in source-separated urine resulted in nitrogen loss due to ammonia volatilization and odor problems in the processes of collection and long-term storage of urine. Therefore, with the aim of using urine as liquid fertilizer, the alkaline stabilization of source-separated urine in alpine-cold and water shortage area of China was investigated. The results showed that it was easier to inhibit urea hydrolysis and stabilize urine in long-term storage at higher pH and lower temperature. At the same time, higher pH was necessary to inhibit urea hydrolysis when urea hydrolysis activity was higher. Compared with plant ash, Ca(OH)2 and CaO were more suitable for long-term stabilization of urine. When the dosage of Ca(OH)2 was 5.2 g/L, the pH of urine was adjusted to 11.0, which could effectively stabilized urine at 180 days. Compared with hydrolyzed urine, the application of stabilized urine had a lower risk of soil salinization and alkalization when the fertilizing amount of urine was lower than 1.5 L/m2. |
