Management of Kitchen Waste Material through Vermicomposting
India produces around 3000 million tones of organic waste annually. This huge volume of waste(s) comes from agriculture, urban and industrial sources and also from domestic activities. Utilization of this waste material for productivity process is important for both economical and environmental reasons. In the present study an effort has been made to asses the efficacy of E. foetida (red tiger ...
متن کاملManagement of food industry waste employing vermicomposting technology.
This paper reports the vermicomposting of food industry sludges (FIS) mixed with different organic wastes employing Eisenia fetida. A total of 10 vermicomposting units containing different wastes combinations were established. After 15 weeks significant increase in total nitrogen (N(total)) (60-214%), total available phosphorous (P(avail)) (35.8-69.6%), total sodium (Na(total)) (39-95%), and to...
متن کاملMunicipal solid waste management through vermicomposting employing exotic and local species of earthworms.
A comparative study was conducted between exotic and local (epigeic--Eisenia fetida and anaecic--Lempito mauritii, respectively) species of earthworms for the evaluation of their efficacy in vermicomposting of municipal solid waste (MSW). Vermicomposting of MSW for 42 days resulted in significant difference between the two species in their performance measured as loss in total organic carbon, c...
متن کاملEnvironmental assessment for management of waste through energy conversion technologies
Increasing population and changing life style has led to the dramatic increase in waste generation. It has been estimated that global generation of post recycling MSW in populated centers amounts about 1.2 billion ton per year. India alone produces about 90 million tons of MSW per year. If this large amount of waste can be converted into energy then the problem of its management and energy cris...
