Straw waste has a large amount of lignocellulose, which shows strong resistance to biodegradation in the composting process and hinders formation humic substances. Therefore, effects pH adjustment inoculation degradation bacteria on process, lignocellulose humus secondary fermentation were explored through aerobic experiments. The experiment was designed with four treatment groups: CK (conventi...

The aerobic composting and anaerobic digestion of plastics is a promising route to recovering the multidimensional value from biodegradable single-use plastics. At present, collection, separation, management plastic waste are extremely challenging, majority these still end up in landfills or incineration facilities. This because not all can be treated using organic options (composting). In addi...

This study aimed to investigate the co-composting time effectiveness as well effect of initial Carbon/Nitrogen ratio (C/N)i variation on hygienization olive pomace and turkey manure. Six different heaps, at 3 levels ratios: 20, 22 28, were installed monitored during 6 months assessed three steps: At beginning, end thermophilic-phase curing-phase. The microbial monitoring concerned 5 pathogens c...

The management of household biowaste in the UK has undergone significant changes during the last decade. Legislation and policy have promoted the rapid development of a diverse composting sector. The sector can be divided into three categories: home composting; community composting; and commercial composting. This paper explores the growth in, and nature of, the commercial and community compost...

This study investigated the impact of composting substrate types on the bacterial community structure and dynamics during composting processes. To this end, pig manure (PM), chicken manure (CM), a mixture of PM and CM (PM + CM), and a mixture of PM, CM and anaerobic digestion residue (ADR) (PM + CM + ADR) were selected for thermophilic composting. The bacterial community structure and dynamics ...

Green waste (leaves, grass and shredded twigs) was composted for 5.5 months in a wooden composting bioreactor, of 1 m capacity, using both passive convective aeration, facilitated by the design of the bioreactor, and manual turning. Temperature was measured daily, while samples were analysed for moisture content, volatile solids, pH value and electrical conductivity, all of which showed a typic...

Soil biota (earthworms) plays an important role in the biocomposting of waste from agro-industrial enterprises. Maintaining required humidity and temperature substrate determines maximum yield vermicompost (biocompost), which depends on vital activity worms. The article presents results preparation by aerobic composting solid phase pig manure liquid alcohol with admixture, crushed straw for whi...
