In a country like Iran, where soil organic matter is less than 1% and in most cases even less than 0.5 %, Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a permanent and inexpensive source of organic matter. Various experiments have indicated that applications of compost improve plant health, yield and nutritional quality. However, the quality of the compost determines the growth and the development of plants. ...

background: the quality of the compost produced is one of the most important and effective parameters in its marketing and external materials presence in the compost have specific consideration. this study was conducted to investigate the quantity and quality of foreign materials in the compost produced by khomein and tehran plants. methods: this study was conducted on the compost produced by k...

Conventional wastewater treatment generates large amounts of organic matter-rich sludge that requires adequate treatment to avoid public health and environmental problems. The mixture of wastewater sludge and some bulking agents produces a biosolid to be composted at adequate composting facilities. The composting process is chemically and microbiologically complex and requires an adequate aerat...

We measured Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp. and fecal coliform numbers in soil and on fresh potato skins after addition of solid dairy manure and dairy compost with and without alum (Al(2)(SO(4))(3)) treatment 1, 7, 14, 28, 179 and 297 days after application. The addition of dairy compost or solid dairy manure at rates to meet crop phosphorus uptake did not consistently increase E. coli and...

compost is one of the strategies of house hold solid wastes management that is used to decrease the volume and weight of wastes, odor and leach ate dispersion, resource recycles and decreasing disposal expenses. in order to observe environmental regulations in the frame of adaptation development projects with environmental concerns, assessment of environmental impact of composting plants has be...
