Characterisation of humic acid maturation by fluorescence spectroscopy and thermal analysis during composting of olive mill waste
Humic acids isolated from different stages of olive mill waste composting were investigated by Elemental analysis, Fluorescence spectroscopy and by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The Elemental composition of these humic acids indicates an increase in aromatic structures during the composting. Indeed, the fluorescence results showed an increase in condensed aromatic ring systems. ...

Sustainability and replication potential of community-based composting: a case study of Bangladesh
Composting is one of the potential waste reduction strategies of solid waste management. It represents waste not as a problem but as a potential resource in the sustainable development paradigm. A number of community-based composting projects are being piloted in the cities. Some projects are successful to produce lasting impacts; however, many projects could not support themselves or expand ...

Waste Management a Problem & Organic Waste Composters a Solution
What would it be like to wake up one day to a planet free of trash and other debris? You can know that this vision is a theory based on your present knowledge of the scenario. Because we’re still more concerned with increasing production than reducing or simply controlling the waste that results, we’ve created this situation. Try to imagine a world populated ...

KMI Zeolite: A Key Ingredient In Green Waste Compost
General statement: KMI Zeolites are 97+% pure crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicates of alkali and alkaline earth cations which possess three-dimensional crystal structures. They have the ability to lose and gain water reversibly, to adsorb molecules of appropriate cross-sectional diameter and to exchange their constituent cations (NH4+, Na+, K+, Ca2+) without major change in their structure. ...

Compost based products: history, recent activities, chances
The amount of compost originating from source separated organic household waste collection in Germany is still increasing. At the end of the year 1997, app. 3.0 to 3.5 millions Mg fresh matter of non-mature and mature compost were produced in 515 composting plants with an input of respectively more than 1.000 Mg organic waste per year in Germany. According to Mellen (1998) an estimated 27% of the ...

Resort Hotel Composting Food Waste in Cancun, Mexico - Case Study
Food waste composted with the in-vessel composter by XACT is solving the organic waste problem of an 8,000 room hotel in Cancun, Mexico. The Cancun Palace Resort generates 2500 tons of organic waste per year, and they wanted/needed to reduce their high waste haulage costs and landfill tipping fees. In addition, the hotel management wanted to take meaningful action to reduce their GHG emissions. ...

Slaughterhouse carcass waste composting case study
Slaughterhouse waste was treated with BactiDomus Technology compost accelerator to monitor the effects of the treatment against untreated waste. The goal of the project is to increase the efficiency of the composting process to reduce the total time needed to turn the waste into compost. Two separate bins of waste were treated with BactiDomus Technology compost accelerator, the first on August ...

The potential of GHG emission savings for programmatic CDM by municipal solid waste composting in the Western Province - Sri Lanka
The Western Province (WP) of Sri Lanka, as the most populated province in the country is burdened with a high level of municipal solid waste generation. Out of the 48 administrative local authorities within the WP, only 16 local authorities are practicing municipal solid waste composting. All other local authorities are practicing the most common method of MSW disposal; open dumping. The study ...

Microbial community composition and reactor performance during hydrogen production in a UASB reactor fed with raw cheese whey inoculated with compost
This study investigated the microbial community developed in a UASB reactor for hydrogen production and correlated it to reactor performance. The reactor was inoculated with kitchen waste compost and fed with raw cheese whey at two organic loading rates, 20 gCOD/Ld and 30 gCOD/Ld. Hydrogen production was very variable, using an OLR of 30 gCOD/Ld averaged 1.0 LH2/Ld with no methane produced under ...

Evaluation of FTIR spectroscopy as a maturity index for herbicide-contaminated composts
This paper analyses the use of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as a maturity index for herbicide-contaminated green wastes composts. Four in-vessel composting systems were set-up with Compost A constituting of uncontaminated grass clippings and Composts B, C and D contaminated with atrazine, 2,4-D and tordon 101 respectively. The physicochemical properties of the composts were ...

Effects of C/N ratio on mixed organic waste composting in a rotary drum composter
Effects of Carbon to Nitrogen (C/N) ratio on the rotary drum composting of organic waste were examined by measuring changes in various parameters. It was observed that time courses of four C/N ratios: 16, 22, 30 and 38 were different. Initial C/N ratio 22 produced high-quality compost (total nitrogen-2.1%, total phosphorus-4.3 g/kg) within 20 days. While in case of C/N 16, compost yields 1.8% ...

Compost, manure, Topsoil, and mulch, Understanding the difference
It’s essential to know how to use organic materials to get the most out of your plants while landscaping your yard or setting up a new garden. Organic waste can be efficiently mixed and composted with the help of the waste composting machine. Mulch, compost, and Topsoil are three of the most commonly used materials. It’s essential to consider the differences between ...

Relative efficacy of two methods of vermicomposting for bio-degradation of organic wastes
Two methods of vermicomposting were used for the bio-degradation of organic wastes, viz., the pit method and the heap method. The efficacy of these two methods was compared under field conditions over three seasons (winter, summer and rainy) by using one of the most promising composting worm species, Eisenia fetida. One hundred adult earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were released in each pit and heap. ...

Bio-conversion of organic waste using composting technologies – a review
Composting is nowadays evolving as a highly technical process for processing organic waste separately replacing landfilling along with municipal solid waste. Vegetable waste with high organic content can be composted to produce nutrient rich material that can work as soil conditioner instead of dumping in open landfills. Various studies reveal that due to high organic content of vegetable waste ...

What is an organic waste composting appliance, its purpose, and its working principle
Now, a large amount of waste is generated every day, both at the domestic level and industrial level. It is most important to handle waste effectively. The food is deserte into landfills free of methane which is dangerous for the earth as an entire. Composting is the best method to handle the waste. How to successfully compost? Composting means recycling green waste composter ...

Agricultural Use of Different Residual Waste Composts - Current Situation and Experiences in France
ABSTRACT Quality standards have been recently established in France for sewage sludge composts and other urban composts (greenwaste, biowaste and municipal solid waste composts). These standards allow to guarantee the innocuousness of the composts. Other standards have been defined in order to predict the compost effects on soil properties: the index of biological stability (ISB), based on ...
