“…The temperature change in a composting pile is closely correlated to the microbial activities and is normally considered to be one of the main parameters used to monitor the composting efficiency (Bustamante et al ., 2008). Within a certain range, for every 10°C increase in temperature, the microbial metabolic rate will be increased by time (López‐González et al ., 2013).…”

SummaryIn order to overcome the excessive acidification problem, a microbial consortium for the degradation of organic acids (MCDOA), which acts synergistically in degrading organic acids, was developed and used as an inoculum to improve the efficiency of food waste composting. MCDOA could eliminate the initial lag phase of the pile temperature rise because of excessive acidification and effectively shorten the composting period. Fluorescence regional integration analysis of the excitation‐emission matrix spectra of dissolved organic matter showed that compared with raw material, in compost with MCDOA inoculation, the percent fluorescence response (P i,n) values of Regions I, II and IV decreased by 95.11%, 94.19% and 87.41%, respectively, and P i,n of Region V increased by 172.57%. The decreased and increased levels were markedly higher than in the two control groups (MgO and K2 HPO 4 treatment, and uninoculated compost). These findings revealed that MCDOA accelerated the degradation of proteinaceous compounds and the formation of complicated humic‐like materials. Bacterial profiles implied that MCDOA could improve the indigenous bacterial community structure and diversities of acetic and propionic acid‐degrading and lignin‐degrading bacteria, which might account for the high composting efficiency and degree of humification of the inoculated compost.

“…So co-composting corn stalk and rice husk with swine manure is an economically and environmentally sound alternative. Aerobic composting is a widely used technique for solid waste treatment, the equipment for composting is developing rapidly [4][5][6][7]. In recent years, some studies focused on changes in biochemical indicators [5,8], maturity [4], stability of compost products [6], and effects of product cultivation [9].…”

In recent years, some studies focused on changes in biochemical indicators [5,8], maturity [4], stability of compost products [6], and effects of product cultivation [9]. Domestic and foreign scholars conducted a series of studies on the theory and practice of solving the long-time fermentation problem of conventional composting, similar to adding the biological agent to accelerate decomposition during the composting process [10].…”

An experimental composting system was employed to study the effect of different proportions of corn stalk, rice husk and swine waste on composting efficiency and final compost quality. Three dry mass ratios were designed with biological agent addition as blank contrast. After 84 days of a static aerobic composting process, full-scale comparison was investigated in maturity, organic nutrient and sanitarian properties. The results showed that the treatment of corn stalk co-composting with swine waste at 1:1.5 ratio with the addition of a biological agent was the first to achieve maturity and had a higher level of organic fertiliser quality, and hygienic indicators of the compost product were satisfied within the relevant standards for harm. Meanwhile, the effect of the biological agent on acceleration of degradation was verified in corn stalk composting. This study found rice husk compost did not reach ideal high temperature. The maturity effect of the final product was relatively poor. Except the treatment of rice husk mixing swine manure at 1:2 ratio with biological agent, other treatments of rice husk had lower and lesseffective products, no positive effect was observed in the rice husk compost. At the end of this paper some suggestions were given to develop new approaches for rice husk utilisation and reduce the cost of corn stalk co-composting.

“…This might be due to the addition of manure with MSW during CC since the former contain significant amounts of dissolved salts. It can also be due to formation of inorganic compounds and increase in ions concentrations due to greater OM degradation and mass loss during composting period (Bustamante et al, 2008). Further the OM content was an important parameter studied, as it contains readily and slowly degradable, and stable organic compounds.…”

This study aimed to examine the effect of composting techniques of municipal organic solid waste (MSW) for (i) total carbon (C), nitrogen (N) losses, and changes in its chemical characteristics during composting phase and (ii) value of the composted materials as fertilizer when applied to vegetables. Treatments included: aerobic composting (AC), anaerobic composting (ANC), co-composting (CC) and open dumping (OD) for 4 months.During the composting phase, about 61, 50, 35, and 13% of the initial N was lost from CC, AC, OD, and ANC, respectively. The respective values in case of total C loss were 17, 13, 14 and 11%. After field application, about 41% of the applied organic N was mineralized from ANC material, whereas the respective values for OD, CC and AC were 25-26, 15-16, and 12-19%. Consequently, dry matter (DM) yield and vegetable N uptake from the resultant compost were in the order ANC>OD>CC>AC. Moreover, vegetable apparent N recovery (ANRf) was the highest from ANC (spinach: 36 and carrot: 45%) followed by OD (26 and 34%), CC (18 and 26%) and AC (18 and 24%) material. When composting N losses were taken into account during calculations, about 31-39, 17-22, 9-10, and 7-12% of the N collected from filth depots ended up in plants from ANC, OD, CC and AC, respectively. We concluded that ANC results in least C and N losses during the composting phase and greatest N mineralization in the soil, which enhances vegetable yield, N recovery and thereby the N cycling through waste-soil-plant continuum.
