Study on mechanisms of biosurfactant-enhanced composting technology for waste management
Abstract
Biosurfactants produced by microbial activities may potentially promote efficiency of solid waste composting. A study was performed to characterize the effect of biosurfactant on solid waste biodegradation during a composting process. Solid waste was shredded then treated in a 8-L batch reactor. Biosurfactant production, characteristics and maturity degree were monitored every day throughout the process. Biosurfactant was examined on the basis …
