Compost supplementation with nutrients and microorganisms in composting process
Waste Management, 2017The composting is an aerobic, microorganism-mediated, solid-state fermentation process by which different organic materials are transformed into more stable compounds. The product obtained is the compost, which contributes to the improvement of physical, chemical and microbiological properties of the soil.

Paper Mill Sludge Composting and Compost Utilization [PDF]
Compost Science & Utilization, 1999 Economically viable and environmentally acceptable methods to recycle organic wastes are needed by the pulp and paper industry. We assessed the potential for composting the Virginia Fibre Corporation's (VFC) combined primary and secondary dewatered paper mill sludge (PMS) and evaluated the suitability of the finished product as a potting soil ...

ICE Proceedings, Municipal Engineer, 2000
A fundamental aim of EC and UK waste policy is to make waste management more sustainable by moving it up the waste hierarchy, the emphasis changing from disposal to recycling and recovery. This approach is based on the concept of adopting the best practicable environmental option (BPEO) for individual waste streams and dealing with waste as close as ...

The efficiency of home composting programmes and compost quality
Waste Management, 2017The efficiency of home composting programmes and the quality of the produced compost was evaluated in eight rural areas carrying out home composting programmes (up to 880 composting bins) for all household biowaste including meat and fish leftovers. Efficiency was analysed in terms of reduction of organic waste collected by the municipal services.

Optimizing composting parameters for nitrogen conservation in composting
Bioresource Technology, 2008A central composite experimental design was used to investigate the influence of environmental composting parameters (moisture, aeration, particle size and time) for legume trimming residues, used on soil restoration, on the properties of products obtained (organic matter, Kjeldahl-N, C/N ratio and nitrogen losses (N-losses)) in order to determine the ...

Effect of pre-composting and vermicomposting on compost characteristics [PDF]
European Journal of Soil Biology, 2007 The aim of this study was to determine the effect of thermophilic pre-composting followed by vermicomposting on compost characteristics compared with thermophilic pre-composting and windrow composting. Source segregated household waste was thermophilically composted (14 days) to sanitise the waste.

Composting parameters and compost quality: a literature review
Organic Agriculture, 2017Economic growth and rising food consumption in the world have led to increased production of organic wastes due to an important intensification of the agricultural production systems. The analysis of macro elements (nitrogen [N], phosphorus [P], and potassium [K]) in organic wastes reveals that the economic loss is significant with the intensification ...

Composting is a complex biological process which, when engineered and controlled, can deliver a high quality product which returns nutrients to the soil and improves its structure. This chapter looks at the fundamental processes which drive the composting process and then the key features which the process needs to deliver a quality product.

Compost and Compost Tea Microbiology: The “-Omics” Era
2020Composting is largely driven and mediated by microorganisms interacting with abiotic factors. However, until recently our knowledge of compost microbes has been heavily informed by culture-dependent methods that capture
