Trends in Yard Waste Composting
HE TREND toward composting reached its peak in Switzerland in 1975 when approximately 10 percent-or over 200,000 tons-of garbage were composted. However, as garbage production per capita and per year increased ;gin 1960 to 430 kg in 1987, cheminination also accelerated. This led to concern about excessive pollutants in compost and their impact on human health and the environment. Switzerland's...
متن کاملIn-vessel co-composting of horse stable bedding waste and blood meal at different C/N ratios: process evaluation.
Abattoir blood meal is rich in nitrogen and its potential as a co-composting material for horse stable bedding waste was evaluated at two C/N ratios -32 (LBM, low blood meal) and 16 (HBM, high blood meal) - to improve the nutrient contents of the final compost. The mix was composted for 7 days in a 10 tonne/day in-vessel composter and cured aerobically. After 56 days ofcomposting, the ammoniaca...
متن کاملProvisional Evaluation of Composting as Priority Option for Sustainable Waste Management in South-West Nigeria
The management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Nigeria and most developing countries has remained a major public health challenge, thus creating the need for reliable and environmentally-acceptable alternatives. This study focuses on composting assessment as a viable recovery alternative for MSW in six States of Southwest Nigeria, namely: Ekiti, Osun, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, and Lagos. Extensive lit...
متن کاملCo-composting of pharmaceutical wastes in soil.
AIMS Soils at a commercial facility had become contaminated with the pharmaceutical chemical residues, Probenecid and Methaqualone, and required remediation. METHODS AND RESULTS Soil composting was investigated as an alternative to incineration for treatment. In laboratory trials, a factorial experimental design was used to evaluate organic matter amendment type and concentration, and incubat...
متن کاملHeavy Metals Removal from Sewage Sludge and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) by Co-Composting Process
Background & Aims of the Study: One of the most important pollutants in drinking water, air and soils is heavy metals. It is very harmful for humans and other live organisms. The purpose of this study was the usage of a co-composting process for removal of heavy metals from municipal solid waste and sewage sludge. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was a condu...
