Effect of covering composting piles with mature compost on ammonia emission and microbial community structure of composting process
Received for publication February 14, 2008. To control ammonia (NH3) volatilization from the dairy cattle (Bos taurus) manure composting process, a compost pile was covered with mature compost and the gas emissions evaluated using the dynamic chamber system. The peak of NH3 volatilization observed immediately after piling up of the compost was reduced from 196 to 62 mg/m3 by covering the compost ...

How to speed up composting
How to Speed up Composting Composting is a natural process. You can say it’s the most important recycling process in the ecosystem. Every living thing on the planet eventually dies and breaks down into soil to help new plant life (and, subsequently, every other living thing) flourish. By learning about the key factors in making fast compost we can begin making our own compost piles more ...

ECS compost aeration floors - the foundation of aerated compost system design
Inventive minds have come up with an amazing number of variations to channel air through a floor and into, or out of, a compost pile. Designs that have been based on sound engineering calculations and experience have generally worked. However, since all aeration floors are constrained by physics and Murphy, the floors that were less rigorously designed have not faired well. The characteristics ...

Composting: Art and science of organic waste conversion to a valuable soil resource
Raw organic materials such as grass clippings and manure are transformed into stable soil-like humic compounds through decomposition in the composting process. Composting is an age-old practice found in various settings, ranging from domestic to industrial. Compost maker machine is becoming an increasingly practical method of organic waste disposal when landfills reach capacity ...

Co-composting of poultry manure with low quantities of carbon-rich materials
To study the feasibility of co-composting poultry manure with low quantities of high-value, carbon-rich materials experiments to characterize three pilot-scale piles were carried out. The piles comprised poultry manure (pile 1), poultry manure and straw (pile 2) and poultry manure and sawdust (pile 3), using wood chips as bulking agent. Pile 1 presented the highest losses of organic matter and ...

Determination of the relative and absolute humidity in Compost piles by differential pectroscopy using Tuneable diode lasers
The composting of biological waste is an important step towards the establishment of closed cycles of matter. A constantly high quality of the compost is, however, of utmost importance for the deliberate re-introduction of compost into the environment. The quality of the compost produced is determined by a very complex biological process during which the organic wastes are converted with the aid ...

Composting
Introduction Composting is a controlled biological process by which organic contaminants (e.g., PAHs) are converted by microorganisms (under aerobic and anaerobic conditions) to innocuous, stabilized byproducts. Typically, thermophilic conditions (54 to 65 °C) must be maintained to properly compost soil contaminated with hazardous organic contaminants. The increased temperatures result from heat ...
