Journal ArticleDOI
Composting of animal manures and chemical criteria for compost maturity assessment. A review
TL;DR: The basic concepts of the composting process and how manure characteristics can influence its performance are explained and a summary of those factors such as nitrogen losses, organic matter humification and compost maturity which affect the quality of composts produced by manure composting is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of carbon source on compost nitrogen and carbon losses.
TL;DR: The effect of C source on N losses by volatilization during composting was measured using four bulking agents, each at three humidity levels and composted in duplicate under passive and active aeration to establish a relationship established between N and C losses.

The Effect of Environmental Odors Emanating From Commercial Swine Operations on the Mood of Nearby Residents
TL;DR: Both innate physiological responses and learned responses may play a role in the impairment of mood found in the people living near the intensive swine operations.

Composting piggery waste: A review
TL;DR: For many centuries, the use of composting has been used as a means of recycling organic matter back into the soil to improve soil structure and fertility as mentioned in this paper, which has received much attention in recent years because of pollution concerns and the search for environmentally sound methods for treating animal waste.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of aeration rate on forced-aeration composting of chicken manure and sawdust
TL;DR: The composting of chicken manure and sawdust has been investigated in forced-aeration composting systems at aeration rates of 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 l min (-1)kg(-1) organic matter (OM), corresponding to pile A, pile B, and pile C.

Standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater
TL;DR: The most widely read reference in the water industry, Water Industry Reference as discussed by the authors, is a comprehensive reference tool for water analysis methods that covers all aspects of USEPA-approved water analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous Thermophilic Composting
TL;DR: Under complete mixing conditions, aerobic decomposition of mixed organic waste materials has been maintained continuously in the thermophilic phase in a55-gal rotating drum in a 55-gal rotateable drum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical and Chemical Correlates of Microbial Activity and Biomass in Composting Municipal Sewage Sludge
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that the rate of composting may best be optimized by controlling the composting temperatures, provided that the other parameters fall within reasonable limits in the starting material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Static pile, passive aeration composting of manure slurries using peat as a bulking agent☆
TL;DR: The feasibility of composting high-moisture manure slurries in combination with hydrophilic peat moss was examined in this article, where the mixtures were discharged on to a bed of peat (10 cm), overlain by horizontal perforated pipes open to the atmosphere, to construct small windrows which were then covered by a 5-cm layer of deodorizing and hygienic peat.
