“…In Beijing, for example, the amount of GW produced has increased by about 50,000-100,000 tons per year (Zhang and Sun, 2014a;Zhang et al, 2013). Traditional GW disposal has involved incineration or deposition in landfills, which reduce the efficiency of land use and cause environmental problems such as water contamination and odour pollution (Bustamante et al, 2013;Gabhane et al, 2012).…”

“…Due to economic and environmental issue, recently farmers try to find an alternative to peat, vermiculite, perlite, and sand and among those products peat was largely applied in the production of ornamental potted plants [2,3]. Most of the media blends that are available in the markets have inaccurate properties such as acidity (pH), the content of soluble salt, less nutrient amount and low cation exchange capacity (CEC) and these properties reduce the performance of the plant [4,5]. Due to the above mentioned problems and in order to increase the production of ornamental plants an organic enhancement is required for biochar.…”

The results showed that biochar applications at a rate of 3%, significantly increase PH, FWP, NLP, SD, FD, and NFBP, while NFP increased only at 2% biochar application and decrease at the 3% rate. The application of 280 mg kg -1 of nitrogen significantly increased all of the parameters. The plant grown in the soils amended with the EB were higher than grown in the soils of the SB. In addition, the best value in the study was observed were biochar combined with nitrogen fertilizers.

“…In many developing countries, organic wastes including agro-industrial wastes, among other waste streams, are traditionally directly incinerated or deposited in landfills resulting in the production of significant amounts of greenhouse gases, besides removing valuable and oftentimes a limited land resource (Zhang et al 2013). Unless managed properly, agro-industrial waste may pose both environmental and health problems (Sharma et al 1997).…”

Purpose Agro-industrial wastes are posing serious challenges for the agro-industries. Composting and co-composting of such wastes will lead to converting such wastes into a useful product that will serve as a soil conditioner. The present research investigated the kinetics of composting and co-composting of several agro-industrial wastes. Methods Seven pilot scale composting and co-composting piles of substrates from grain dust (GD), coffee-processing waste (CPW) and olive mill waste (OMW) were tested. Temperature and moisture content of the piles were monitored during the composting process and adjusted whenever necessary. Results The biodegradation kinetics was found to be of first order for all composting and co-composting piles. As judged by the value of the reaction rate constant, and the temperature of the piles, the biodegradability of the grain dust was the highest among all composting piles, followed by the coffee-processing residue and finally the fresh olive mill waste. As for the co-composting, the highest degradability was noticed in the pile that was composed of grain dust and coffee-processing waste followed by that of grain dust mixed with dry olive mill waste, and then followed by coffee-processing waste and dry olive mill waste and finally by grain dust with fresh olive-processing waste. Conclusions Composting and co-composting of agro-industrial wastes is a low cost and an environmentally friendly waste management option for solving the problem of the disposal of such waste. The study revealed that all piles followed first-order kinetics with different biodegradability rates.
