Aug 1, 2021 · Most composting raw materials used till date included animal manure [20], [34], [41], sludge [26], industrial or domestic waste [13], [23], with a small amount of straw or wood chips added to the compost. The succession of fungi community in Chinese herbal residue compost was also reported [30]. However, there are relatively few studies on the
Jan 30, 2024 · Conserves natural resources: Industrial composting can help to conserve natural resources by reducing the need for landfill space and by diverting organic waste from incinerators. Improves soil quality: Compost is a nutrient-rich soil amendment that can help to improve soil structure, water retention, and fertility.
Nov 18, 2022 · Waste mushroom substrate (WMS) generated in large quantities from mushroom production process has caused severe environmental pollution. As a sustainable resource, the valorization of WMS in the agricultural field has attracted attention due to the abundant active components. A comprehensive review of valorization of WMS in agricultural production is meaningful to promote the further
Jul 23, 2019 · Thermophilic fungi are of broad interest due to their potential to produce heat-tolerant enzymes for biotechnological processes. They constitute a small fraction of the fungal biota that have a minimum temperature of growth at or above 20 °C and a maximum temperature of growth extending up to 60–62 °C. Composting is a promising source of
The pH value of 6.0-9.0 was the most suitable [44]. Consistent with the report of Wang et al. [23], the decomposition of nitrogenous organic compounds led to the rapid volatilization of ammonia
Feb 26, 2021 · There are three families of industrial composting processes: – slow composting: aeration is obtained by turning over the windrows (mixing the composted materials in long narrow heaps) using specific agricultural equipment; – accelerated composting in open air; – accelerated composting under a building structure.
Windrow Compost Turners. The Frontier Turning System is a controlled airflow and complete mixing system. Old style straddle turners using flat paddles, knives or rototiller tines were somewhat effective in transforming organic waste from an environmental problem to a more benign product. But with the ever-increasing costs of fertilizers and
In industrial composting facilities, organic waste is typically composted using one of two : piling or In tank composting. Piling method. In this method, shredded organic waste is piled into large windrows or heaps, often with the aid of specialized equipment such as compost turners.
Aug 1, 2022 · The effects of different microbial inoculants on the compost of mushroom residue were studied, effective microorganisms (EM) and mature compost (M) were added as exogenous microbial inoculants, and no microbial inoculants were added as a control (CK). The results show that the treatment with mature compost had the fastest heating, while the EM treatment maintained the longest high temperature
Oct 8, 2020 · Initial nutrient content of mushroom residue to be composted is shown in Table 1. Aerobic composting equipment (China Patent No. 201720930414.3) was used in the experiment. The eective ff volume of the experimental device was about 80 L (in which the inner diameter was 210 mm and the height was 600 mm) (Figure 1).
Jul 1, 2022 · Composting is an effective and necessary modality in the recycling of agricultural wastes such as livestock manure, furfural, and straw. However, the risks of heavy metals (HMs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during industrial-scale composting process have not been adequately assessed, especially with the addition of bacterial agents.
Many basidiomycetes fungi are edible mushrooms whose industrial production generates significant amount of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) with residual high levels of lignin-degrading extracellular enzymatic activities.
Sep 13, 2023 · decomposition and accelerating the composting process [8]. For instance, chicken manure contains high levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, whereas mushroom residue has high carbon and cellulose content. Mixing the two balances the nutrients, making the compost more balanced and nutrient-rich, thereby achieving optimal treatment
A project funded by the BBI JU under Horizon 2020 is developing innovative technologies that will enable mushroom farms to turn compost into novel bio-based products such as natural pesticides, cutting fossil fuel use and positioning the sector at the heart of Europe's circular economy.
Jan 1, 2022 · In the present chapter an effort has been made to explain the utility of the mushroom spent waste in the production of compost and vermicompost that increase the soil physicochemical properties as well as the plant productivity.
