Biodegradation of Lignocelluloses in Sewage Sludge Composting and Vermicomposting
Aims of the Study: The aim of this study was to determine the amount of lignin degradation and biodegradation of organic matter and change of biomass under compost and vermicomposting of sewage sludge. Materials & Methods: Sawdust was added to sewage sludge at 1:3 weight bases to Carbon to Nitrogen ratio of 25:1 for composting or vermicomposting. Lignin and volatile solids were deter...
متن کاملStability and Kinetic Analysis during Vermicomposting of Sewage Sludge
The present study is aimed at alteration of sewage sludge into stable compost product using vermicomposting of sewage sludge mixed with cattle manure and saw dust in five different proportions based on C/N ratios (C/N 15 (R1), 20 (R2), 25 (R3) and 30 (R4); and control (R5)) by employing an epigeic earthworm Eisenia fetida. Higher reductions in C/N ratio, CO2 evolution and OUR were observed in R...
متن کاملVermicomposting of cow dung, kitchen waste and sewage sludge with bagasse using Eisenia fetida
The sugar cane industry produces significant amounts of cane trash and bagasse. Inappropriate disposal of agro-wastes can lead to environmental problems. Converting wastes such as cane trash and bagasse (Bg) to a fertilizer and conditioner is the aim of sustainable waste management in sugar cane industry. Cow dung (CD), kitchen waste (KW), and sewage sludge (SS) were mixed with bagasse as amend...
متن کاملThe Agronomic Value of The Sewage Sludge of Tenerife. Composting
One of the most effective ways of recycling the organic and mineral fractions of sludge from the treatment of domestic wastewater is to compost the sludge with the organic fraction of domestic refuse. In the present study, a compost on a semi-industrial scale was obtained from a mixture of domestic refuse and sewage sludge. The evolution of the different parameters throughout the process was no...
