Optimizing In-Vessel Cocomposting of Sewage Sludge and Municipal Solid Waste: Effects of Quicklime Dosage on Process Efficiency and Compost Maturity

Abstract

Abstract The increasing accumulation of municipal solid waste (MSW) and secondary sludge has become a significant environmental issue. Effective waste management techniques, such as composting, are crucial for mitigating the environmental impact of these ... Practical Applications This research introduces an efficient approach to cocomposting municipal solid waste and sewage sludge using quicklime as an accelerator. Traditional composting methods often face challenges, especially with high-moisture waste, ...
