Purpose Agro-industrial wastes are posing serious challenges for the agro-industries. Composting and co-composting of such wastes will lead to converting such wastes into a useful product that will serve as a soil conditioner. The present research investigated the kinetics of composting and co-composting of several agro-industrial wastes. Methods Seven pilot scale composting and co-composting piles […]
Purposes The purpose of this research was to evaluate the kinetics of anaerobic microbial culture during adaptation to pure and complex lignocellulosic substrates at low temperature. Methods Six pairs of 1.0 L batch reactors maintained at 20 °C were fed pure (xylan and cellulose) and complex (cow manure and wheat straw) lignocellulosic substrate in three successive […]
