Title

NEW APPROACH TO GARDEN WASTE TREATMENT WITH ADDITIVE BASED COMPOSTING

Abstract

The growing world population and the resulting higher consumption of products and services has driven a rapid increase of organic wastes originating from households, industry and agriculture. Biological degradation during composting is one of the strategies to transform organic wastes into organic products. Hence, a considerable research in the field of rapid composting is to be done so as to accelerate the composting process. Study was executed with lab scale experimental setup and performed using Plastic Bins for composting in size of 20 cm diameter and 25 cm deep. A comparative study between Normal Composting (control) and Additive based Composting (AbC) was done. The various additives utilized in the current study include Jaggery, Lime, Fly ash and Bioculture in combination of two additives keeping Jaggery constant. The composting parameters including pH, temperature, C/N ratio and electrical conductivity were monitored at a regular interval for a period of 40 days. Changes in physical characteristics (particle size distribution) of the waste throughout the composting process were also examined. The results obtained from the current study revealed that AbC facilitated Jaggery-Bioculture and Jaggery-jaggery have optimum performance than others as indicated by quick rise in temperature and C/N ratio below 20. The utilization of additives in combination reduced the composting time by a minimum value of 25% as additive based composting required 28 days whereas control unit took 40 to attain C/N ratio below 20. A positive effect of doubling the amount of jaggery was seen by accelerating the composting process enabling microbial activity due to good source of food. The compost quality examined with help of different parameters suggests and favoured in use of Jaggery-Bioculture and Jaggery-jaggery combination for optimum and rapid composting of garden waste. The future studies can focus on using suitable techniques to be merged and exploring different combinations with different proportions of additives in order to generate a new technique which will be beneficial for reducing the duration of composting with variety of waste categories.
