Isolation and screening of thermophilic and psychotrophs bacterial strains used in the composting process
Psychrotrophs and thermophilic are two categories of microbes who can survive in extreme low and high temperature environments. Theoretically, the introduction of such micro-organisms can increase the initial temperature at the early mesophilic phase or maintain the high temperature at the thermophilic phase of aerobic composting. And the key is to find the strains growing fast and decomposing efficiently of protein, starch, cellulose and other organic substances in different temperature environments.

10 samples from different organic sources, as sewage water, soil and animal manure were collected in Heilongjiang province, China, and from which we isolated four psychrotrophs bacterial strains, as B6-38，B9-13，B10-40 and B10- 44. They all showed the characteristics of fast growing and rapid degrading of organic substances at low temperature (15 ℃). Determined with 16S rDNA gene sequencing and growth characteristics, B6-38 and B10-40 are associated with the genera Aeromonasa, B9-13 with the genera Enterobacter and B10-44 with the genera Paenibacillus. A composting experiment with chicken manure and sawdust was carried out in a small-sized container to study the effects of microbial inoculation（B6-38，B9-13，B10-40 and B10-44, individual strain）on the composting process. The results showed that the rate of temperature growth of the treatment with B6-38 was the highest, 61.79% higher than control, among those 4 treatments. Meanwhile, two cellulose decomposing thermophilic bacterial strains, HNS39 and HNC41, were screened from 13 thermoplic compost samples (at high temperature phase, about 80oC) from Hebei, Hainan and Shandong provinces, China. Both are associated with the genera Geobacillus determined by using 16S rDNA gene sequencing and growth characteristics. The similar composting experiment was done to study the effects of microbial inoculation（HNS39, HNC41 and the mixture）. The results showed that the use of the HNS39 and HNC41 were more effective in terms of the increasing of initial temperature, maintaining of high temperature at thermophilic phase and slowing down of the temperature decline at maturation phase. However, there was no significant difference between the effect of individual strain and their mixture (1:1 v/v).

Umweltbildung mit #wirfuerbio
© Witzenhausen-Institut für Abfall, Umwelt und Energie GmbH (4/2023)
#wirfuerbio ist die bundesweite Kampagne der kommunalen Abfallwirtschaft zur Reduzierung von Störstoffen im Bioabfall. Mit einer starken Bandbreite unterschiedlicher crossmedialer Kommunikationsmittel und Maßnahmen verändert sich das Verhalten der Biotonnenbenutzer. Die Störstoffquote sinkt um mehr als 50 Prozent. Die Kampagne weist einen neuen Weg in der Umweltbildung. Mit der Abfallbox und der SpieleApp „#wirfuerbio das Sortierspiel“ wird Kreislaufwirtschaft in Form von Spaß und Spiel erlebbar. Der Beitrag zeigt, wie Abfallbox und Spiele-App didaktisch funktionieren und ein Bewusstsein für Kreislaufwirtschaft und Mülltrennung entwickeln.
Feldversuche zum Abbauverhalten von kompostierbaren Vorsammelhilfen in der technischen Kompostierung
© Witzenhausen-Institut für Abfall, Umwelt und Energie GmbH (4/2023)
Kompostierbare Vorsammelhilfen (zertifiziert nach EN 13432 und „OK Compost Home“) wurden zwei Versuchsmieten in „realitätsnahen“ Mengen zugesetzt, wobei eine theoretische Befüllung von 1 bis 1,2 kg Bioabfall pro Vorsammelhilfe erreicht wurde. Die Vorsammelhilfen fragmentierten bereits in den ersten beiden Rottewochen und verschwanden zwischen der zweiten und der vierten Woche in der Fraktion > 10 mm vollständig. Geringe Partikelanzahlen vom Typ der untersuchten Vorsammelhilfen konnten in der Fraktion 0,63 bis 0,2 mm in der Anlage 1 nach neun Wochen und in Anlage 2 nach zwölf Wochen nachgewiesen werden, wodurch gezeigt werden konnte, dass die untersuchten Vorsammelhilfen während der ordnungsgemäßen Kompostierung kaum zu Mikrokunststoffen fragmentiert.
Development of local municipal solid waste management in the Western Transdanubia region of Hungary
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2020)
Hungarian municipal solid wastes (MSW) management has developed tremendously over the past 15 years. More than 3,000 landfills and dumps had been closed, just to mention one improvement. However, still, lots of work is necessary to accomplish the EU’s ambitious aim of decreasing landfilling and increasing recycling and composting.
Compost-like material or thermal valorization – impact on MBT Plant economics and environmental aspects – Case studies in Portugal and UK
© Wasteconsult International (5/2015)
The paper focuses on the utilisation of the solid product from the biological Treatment stages of three MBT Plants which treat the organic fraction of MSW by means of wet mechanical pre-treatment units followed by anaerobic digestion. The experiences of two MBT Plants in Portugal (CVO Valorlis and CVO Suldouro) which produce compost-like material are contrasted with the experiences at the MBT Bredbury Parkway (UK) which, by drying the digested solids, produces a RDF with low calorific value for further use in thermal valorisation. The impact of these two different approaches on the operating costs for the treatment of the digested solids as well as the environmental aspects for both valorization paths is discussed.
Post-treatment of Composting Leachate by Photocatalytic Process
© Wasteconsult International (5/2015)
In this study the capability of UV-ZnO photocatalytic process as a post Treatment method for composting leachate was examined at laboratory scale and in batch mode. The effect of some factors such as initial pH, oxidant concentration, light intensity and reaction time on the removal of organic load and color of leachate were investigated. Biological pre-treated leachate samples were collected from the effluent of leachate treatment facility of a composting plant in north of Iran. A Plexiglas column with 110 mm inner diameter and 300 mm height were used to conduct experiments. UVC lamps with different power levels in the range of 8-40W at the centre of the column were used as the source of irradiation. Based on the results of experiments, after 180 minutes of Radiation with 32W UVC lamps in pH 11 and in the presence of 1g.L-1 of slurry ZnO, maximum COD and color removal were achieved to be 57% and 67%, respectively.
