Organic wastes are composted to stabilize organic matter, reduce the moisture content,
increase the concentrations of plant nutrients, eliminate pathogens and weed seeds …

Soil degradation processes have dramatically increased in their extent and intensity over the
last decades. Progressively, actions have been taken in order to evaluate and reduce the …

Livestock manure is one of the main sources of heavy metals (HMs) in agricultural soil. So, it
is necessary to reduce its bioavailability before used as organic fertilizer. In this study, the …

A biological comparison based on differences in the starting material for composting
processes was made. Mesophilic aerobic microbiota, fungi, actinomycetes and …

The rapid expansion of the pig industry and the concurrent increase in pig units have posed
a significant waste management challenge, particularly in the form of piggery waste. In this …

The humification of organic matter during composting was studied by the quantification and
monitoring of the evolution of humic substances (Humic Acid-HA and Fulvic Acid-FA) by UV …

Finished compost should be both stable (resistant to decomposition) and mature (ready for a
particular end-use) so that it can safely be packaged and transported, and not cause …

This paper aims to develop a new approach to interpret soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics
from Rock-Eval pyrolysis. Rock-Eval standard parameters (TpS2, HI, OI) are limited when …

This study evaluated odor generated during the first stage of the composting process in a
dynamic respirometer using different raw materials such as the organic fraction of municipal …

Fumonisins (FBs) and zearalenone (ZEN) are mycotoxins which occur naturally in grains
and cereals, especially maize, causing negative effects on animals and humans. Along with …
