To investigate the effect of the Fenton-oxidized composting process on the removal of estrogens in manure, this study determined the concentrations of four estrogens—estradiol (E3), 17β-estradiol (17β-E2), bisphenol A (BPA), and ethinylestradiol (EE2)—in cow manure at various time points (0, 3, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192, 384, and 768hours) using the Fenton-oxidized composting process. The influence of Fenton's reagent and citric acid on estrogen removal during Fenton oxidation were also examined. Results demonstrated that after 3hours of treatment with Fenton's reagent and citric acid, the residual rates of E3, 17β-E2, BPA, and EE2in cow dung were 15.10%, 2.65%, 9.90%, and 11.44%, respectively, which were significantly lower than those observed in the non-oxidizing reagent treatment group. Following 32days of composting, the residual concentrations of E3, 17β-E2, and BPA fell below detectable limits, while the residual rate of EE2was only 2%. Additionally, seed germination rate analysis during the oxidized composting process revealed that the seed germination index of Brassica chinensis exceeded 50%, indicating that the composting products exhibited no apparent toxic effects on vegetable seeds. Consequently, the Fenton-oxidized composting technology can effectively accelerate the removal of estrogens from livestock manure, thereby facilitating its resourceful and harmless utilization.
