Effect of different buffer agents on in-vessel composting of food waste: Performance analysis and comparative study
Abstract
This study investigated the performance and feasibility for application of different buffer agent combinations, including K2HPO4/MgSO4, KH2PO4/MgSO4 and NaAc, in composting of food waste. The variations of temperature, pH, O2 consumption, organic mass and ammonia release were monitored. The results showed that addition of all these three types of agents could prolong the thermophilic stage during composting. The amendments of KH2PO4/MgSO4 and …
