Aeration rate improves the compost quality of food waste and promotes the decomposition of toxic materials in leachate by changing the bacterial community

Yumei Wang et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of aeration rates on maturity, leachate, and bacterial community succession during food waste composting. Results showed that the recommended ventilation rate can improve compost quality and leachate utilization. Additionally, specific bacterial communities shaped by aeration could be manipulated by adjusting NH4+, NO3- contents, and pH in the initial composting stage.

Co-composting of Biowaste: Simultaneous Optimization of the Process and Final Product Quality Using Simulation and Optimisation Tools

Jonathan Soto-Paz et al.

Summary: The study used artificial neural networks and particle swarm optimization tools to evaluate the composting of biowaste with different cosubstrates, finding the optimal conditions for product quality and processing time. Turning the compost pile twice a week with specific mixtures was shown to be the most efficient method.

Microbiological Activity during Co-Composting of Food and Agricultural Waste for Soil Amendment

Vladimir Mironov et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between ambient parameters and microbial communities during the co-composting of food and agricultural waste. The initial humidity and C/N ratio affect microbial diversity, while the thermophilic stage is beneficial for organic matter mineralization. Fungal communities are sensitive to temperature changes. Overall, compost microbial diversity increases with time and is associated with compost properties that stimulate plant growth.
