Role of electron acceptors in soil resource circulation for organic waste composting

Purpose Soil is an important accelerator for biodegradable processes. Soil resource circulation concept by using the compost from the previous crop as cover materials for the recent composting mass was evaluated as it contained soil and amorphous Fe as an energy source. Therefore, this research was focused on the possibility and the changes in the […]

Feather hydrolysate as a promising nitrogen‑rich fertilizer for greenhouse lettuce cultivation

Purpose Poultry agro-industry generates huge amounts of solid wastes, such as poultry litter (PL) and feathers. Feathers, possessing a substantial amount of organic nitrogen, are mainly converted into feather meal (FM) through the hydrothermal process; however, microbial conversion into feather hydrolysates (FH) is increasingly being focused on. Since waste management strategies include the use of […]
