Anaerobic Digestion of Aerobic Pretreated Organic Waste

Anaerobic digestion is a biotechnology that can be used to convert various biodegradable organic materials into methane-rich biogas fuel. The anaerobic digestion of municipal solid waste and sewage sludge is a process that has become a promising technology in waste management throughout the world .Digestion occurs in a four-step process: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis...

An integrated approach of composting methodologies for solid waste management

Organic fraction of solid waste, which upon degradation produces foul smell and generates pathogens, if not properly managed. Composting is not a method of waste disposal but it is a method of waste recycling and used for agricultural purposes. An integrated approach of composting methodology was tested for municipal solid waste management. Solid waste first was composted and after 22 days, was...

Composting and Recycling Urban Food Wastes in Korea With Effective Microorganisms

Food waste which accounts for approximately 30 percent of urban garbage was collected from selected cities of Korea and treated with EM in household recycling and demonstration programs. The quantity of garbage was reduced significantly with no malodors commonly associated with refuse fermentation. The fermented food waste can be used beneficially as an organic fertilizer for crop production. T...

Anaerobic Bacterial Degradation of Kitchen Waste - a Review

Kitchen (food waste) was collected from hostels of Cancer Hospital & Research Institute (CHRI), Gwalior’s Mess as feedstock for bio-reactor which works as anaerobic digester system to produce biogas energy. Production of biogas ,used as energy source, will be more cost effective, eco-friendly, cut down on landfill waste, generate a high-quality renewable fuel, and reduce CH4 and CO2 emissions, ...
