Application of Composts’ Biochar as Potential Sorbent to Reduce VOCs Emission during Kitchen Waste Storage

It is expected that due to the new European Union regulation focus on waste management, managing kitchen will become more important in future, especially households. Therefore, it crucial develop user-friendly and odour-free containers store waste. The study aimed test effectiveness of composts’ biochar reducing noxious odours volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during storage. Various amounts compost (0%, 1%, 5%, 10%) were added food samples incubated for seven days at 20 °C. VOCs analysed 1, 3, 7 storage simulation process. results indicated adding 5–10% significantly reduced emissions 70% detected compounds. Furthermore, can be used eliminate potential odour components specific dangerous such as ethylbenzene, o-xylene, acetic acid, naphthalene. A with a unique composition was particularly effective could an excellent solution eliminating containers.
