Sanitary aspect of using partially treated landfill leachate as a water source in green waste composting.
Shredded green wastes were composted in windrows, at the Harewood Whin landfill, near the city of York, in West Yorkshire, UK. Landfill leachate were added twice during the second and fourth week of the process in two piles. One pile was turned once every week for eight weeks and the other was turned twice, during the same period. Each time approximately, 2 m3 of leachate was added, into each p...
متن کاملBioaerosol emissions from a suburban yard waste composting facility.
The purpose of this study was to assess worker and community exposure to bioaerosols emitted from a suburban yard waste composting facility in northern Illinois, USA. Characterization of on- and off-site viable bioaerosols was undertaken through a total of 288 on- and off-site Andersen samples conducted over 10 sampling days. A total of 46 dust samples and 38 Kramer-Collins spore samples were a...
متن کاملCompost liquor bioremediation using waste materials as biofiltration media.
Compost liquor results from the percolation of precipitation through composting waste; the release of liquids from high moisture content feedstocks; and as a result of runoff from hard surfaces and machinery. This research aimed to establish the potential for waste materials to act as media for low-cost compost liquor biofilters. Six types of potential biofilter media were packed into experimen...
متن کاملCo-composting of green waste and food waste at low C/N ratio.
In this study, co-composting of food waste and green waste at low initial carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratios was investigated using an in-vessel lab-scale composting reactor. The central composite design (CCD) and response surface method (RSM) were applied to obtain the optimal operating conditions over a range of preselected moisture contents (45-75%) and C/N ratios (13.9-19.6). The results indic...
متن کاملMicrobial Community Dynamics and Stability Assessment during Green Waste Composting
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...
