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...
متن کاملTemperature and deactivation of microbial faecal indicators during small scale co-composting of faecal matter.
Small scale co-composting of faecal matter from dry toilet systems with shredded plant material and food waste was investigated in respect to heat development and deactivation of faecal indicators under tropical semiarid conditions. Open (uncovered) co-composting of faecal matter with shredded plant material alone did not generate temperatures high enough (<55 degrees C) to reduce the indicator...
متن کاملProvisional Evaluation of Composting as Priority Option for Sustainable Waste Management in South-West Nigeria
The management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Nigeria and most developing countries has remained a major public health challenge, thus creating the need for reliable and environmentally-acceptable alternatives. This study focuses on composting assessment as a viable recovery alternative for MSW in six States of Southwest Nigeria, namely: Ekiti, Osun, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, and Lagos. Extensive lit...
متن کاملMunicipal Solid Waste Composting - a Review
Generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) continues to rise, which leads to loss of resources and increased environmental risks. The conventional treatment of wastes such as open dumping and land filling cause environmental degradation. Since the major fraction of wastes generated in India is organic wastes, composting has emerged as one of the best methods for treatment of wastes. Composting, ...
متن کاملBioremediation of oil-contaminated soil using Candida catenulata and food waste.
Even though petroleum-degrading microorganisms are widely distributed in soil and water, they may not be present in sufficient numbers to achieve contaminant remediation. In such cases, it may be useful to inoculate the polluted area with highly effective petroleum-degrading microbial strains to augment the exiting ones. In order to identify a microbial strain for bioaugmentation of oil-contami...
