Translated title:
Study and Evaluation of green waste composting with the addition of a special Biocatalyst
Summary:
The need for best practices in waste management through composting, led to the
development of a special biocatalyst as additive in this process. The
Biocatalyst consists of organic substrate, rich in active microbial communities
and nutrients. Its effect in composting procedure was observed by the
determination of the physicochemical and microbiological parameters.
The increased duration of temperature conservation at optimum levels, subserved
the biodegradation procedure, as the humic acid’s content increased at high
levels in only four months period. Additionally, into the same period, it has
been decomposed the larger amount of the total organic matter.
At research stage also, it was studied the correlation of humic acids and
organic matter with nitrogen bonding in water runoff at soil samples with
different amounts of compost and a relevant model from the experimental
measurements was created.
The lack of established indices for the quality evaluation of composts used as
soil improving, constitutes an obstacle in the proper utilization and placement
in the market. For this reason, quality indicators observed and proposed based
on the application of compost, showcasing as the proper quality index the humic
acids content.
