Compost stability: a comparative evaluation of respirometric techniques
The new Paradigm in waste management promotes attitudes and processes that conserve resources and reduce pollution. Under this philosophy, organic waste is increasingly recognised as a recyclable material, a useful resource, making composting one of the key elements of modern waste management. As the composting industry is expanding rapidly there is a growing need for a simple, fast, relatively ...

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 ...

Fecal sludge-derived pellet fertilizer in maize cultivation
Fecal sludge (FS) contains significant amounts of plant nutrients and organic matter although it also contains pathogens. Therefore, FS can be used as fertilizer after proper sanitization. This study was designed to test dried fecal sludge (DFS)-based pellet fertilizers on maize cultivation. The DFS fertilizers were produced by composting, co-composting with sawdust, or irradiated by ...

Organic fertilizer turner is the core of aerobic composting
As the core equipment of aerobic dynamic composting, the organic fertilizer turning machine develops rapidly in the fertilizer equipment family. Fermentation compost turner is a kind of agricultural machine, instead of traditional tools such as manual, forklift and so on. It is the mainstream product that affects the development trend of compost industry. The importance of the organic fertilizer ...

Commercial composting provides food for thought
The retail sector and food manufacturers produce a mountain of waste but, unlike householders, they cannot simply throw it in the compost and wait for it to rot down. The Compost Association told edie about the obstacles in the way of recycling waste from the commercial sector. Compared to household domestic waste, biodegradable matter from the retail and catering sector represents only a small ...

Hybrid composting systems: appropriate technology for Austral-Asia?
Composting is a strongly emerging option in waste management in Austral-asia. It has been widely acknowledged that a successful integrated waste management strategy must adequately address the organic waste stream. Composting is the most economical, efficient and ecologically sustainable option to deal with organic waste if properly managed and economically and socially integrated into a ...

Industry innovators collaborate to tackle compostable coffee pods in hospitality sector
Here at Tidy Planet, we’ve teamed up with AstraZeneca, Sodexo, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, and Halo Coffee, to close the loop for one of the hospitality sector’s trickiest, and most abundant, waste streams – coffee pods.It’s estimated that approximately 60 billion of these capsules are manufactured annually – three quarters of which end up in landfill, and can take up to 500 years to fully break ...

Composting cotton industry by-products. Evaluation of Use of cotton solid wastes compost as a substrate.
The textile industry at region of Entre Douro e Minho is located at Ave valley and is responsible for a great amount of cotton solid wastes. Currently these wastes, which are characterised by a high C/N ratio and some salinity, are directly applied to soil by farmers without any previous treatment (Zucconi et al, 1981). Extraction of peat causes environmental damage (Smith, 1992) which leads to ...

Organic fertilizer production technology - aerobic composting technology
Aerobic composting technology is an important technical means for the disposal of organic waste, especially suitable for the realization of fertilizer and substrate of agricultural solid waste. For industrialized processing of organic fertilizer, compost turning machine is usually used to ensure the smooth progress of aerobic fermentation. Aerobic composting is the absorption, oxidation, and ...

Kinetic study of compost liquor nitrification
This study is a first kinetic approach about the compost liquor treatment by activated sludge. This industrial wastewater is highly loaded in organic and nitrogen compounds (COD≈12,000 mg L−1 and NH4+-N≈4,000 mg L−1). The possibility of its treatment in an urban WWTP is studied measuring ammonia oxidation rate with non-acclimated sludge to the industrial effluent. Compost liquor appears as an ...

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. ...

Integrated composting and vermicomposting: a boon to industry for waste clearance
The industrial bio-solid waste management is a global problem which has become even more challenging due to rise in population, industrialisation as well as changes in standard of living. Different waste management options, particularly landfill and incineration have potential adverse effects on environment, health, soil and biodiversity. There are little potential problems of environmental ...

“Jerez guadalete w.w.t.p.”: from sludge to biosolids, and finally e.u. ecological fertilizer?
‘Guadalete W.W.T.P’ began its operations in January 1994 in ‘Jerez de la Frontera’, in the province of Cádiz, southwestern Spain. 15.000 t of anaerobically digested dewatered sludge has been produced on a yearly basis over the last four years. An 11 hectares open-air windrow composting facility, privately owned and operated, has permitted sludge to be transformed into biosolids compost. Compost ...

Selected antimicrobial resistance during composting of manure from cattle administered sub-therapeutic antimicrobials
Received for publication December 10, 2007. Composting is being increasingly employed for the recycling of nutrients in manure from the livestock industry. However, composting manure from animals fed antimicrobials has not been well characterized. In this study, compost windrows were prepared using manure collected from cattle (Bos Taurus L.) fed tylosin (TY), chlortetracycline-sulphamethazine ...
