Abstract:
Experimental data on bio degradation of wastes with different C/N ratios have been presented for vessel composting conditions. Detailed analysis on the routes of stabilization of organic wastes was done. Greater efficiency during aeration have been pointed out and discussed. Necessity of detailed evaluation of temperature, pH, total solids, E.C, volatile solids, C.O.D, nutrient levels of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, is suggested to achieve quicker bioconversion of organic wastes into humus. Four separate amendment conditions were applied to stimulate varying degrees of bioconversion rate. Optimum environmental conditions were maintained inside vessel through proper aeration, moisture adjustment and sufficient mixing.
