Fate of Formaldehyde in MDF Sawdust during MSW Composting
نویسنده
چکیده
Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) sawdust is an important source of carbon and is therefore in demand as an amendment in commercial municipal solid waste (MSW) composting operations. However, MDF contains formaldehyde which causes two concerns. The first one is that the bactericidal and fungicidal properties of formaldehyde may adversely affect the composting process. The second one is that formaldehyde residues may cause the production of compost of unacceptable quality for unrestricted use.

متن کاملA fate model of pathogenic viruses in a composting toilet based on coliphage inactivation.
A composting toilet using sawdust as a matrix has the potential to trap pathogens that might occasionally be contained in human feces. Therefore, care should be taken when handling the sawdust. It should also be noted that pathogenic viruses tend to have stronger tolerance than pathogenic bacteria. The fates of several species of coliphages, T4, lambda, Qbeta and MS2, in sawdust were investigat...
