Perspectives on organic waste recovery relative to composting and anaerobic digestion
Generally speaking, organic waste renders its self suitable for recovery purposes owing to the nutrient elements it contains and the energy stored in the biochemical bonds of its constituent organic compounds. Both composting and anaerobic digestion (AD) have been used since a long time ago in reclaiming organic material. It seems that the first modern composting process was developed in 1920s ...

Fluorescence characteristic changes of dissolved organic matter during municipal solid waste composting
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) of municipal solid waste (MSW) consists of minerals, water, ash and humic substances, and is known to enhance plant growth. In this study, inoculating microbes (ZJ, MS) were used in municipal solid wastes composting, and composting implemented a industrialized technology. During composting, dissolved organic matter was extracted from the compost and purified. The ...

Accumulation and mobility of heavy metals in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graceum L.) and tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) grown in the field amended with urban wastes, and their composts and vermicomposts
Accumulation of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) in roots, stems and leaves of fenugreek and tomato grown on lateritic soil amended with municipal solid waste, market and floral waste, and their composts and vermicomposts prepared using three earthworm species, were assessed. The heavy metal accumulation in the plant parts showed significant correlations with ...

Policy issues for composting development: notes from Italy
Composting in Italy is growing fast. More than 600 Municipalities are running source separation programs for food waste at present. As a consequence, the number of composting plants for source separated materials is steadily growing: 72 industrial composting sites were recorded in November 1998. This figure does not include those small sites (less than 1000 Mg/y) that compost only yard waste. ...
