Determination of the stability of MSW compost using a respirometric technique
Determination of the stability of MSW compost using a respirometric technique
This paper reports a fully automatic respirometric technique with low maintenance costs that allows the routine determination of the specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR), as well as the cumulative oxygen demand at 20 h, (OD20). The procedure involves the measurement of the dissolved oxygen concentration in an aqueous suspension of compost that is supplied with various nutrients, none of which contains organic carbon. The proposed method was used to monitor composting in a compost pile consisting of 65% organic matter obtained by selective collection of municipal solid waste (MSW), 30% sewage sludge and 5% plant trimming ...

Abstract
This paper reports a fully automatic respirometric technique with low maintenance costs that allows the routine determination of the specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR), as well as the cumulative oxygen demand at 20 h, (OD20). The procedure involves the measurement of the dissolved oxygen concentration in an aqueous suspension of compost that is supplied with various nutrients, none of which contains organic carbon. The proposed method was used to monitor composting in a compost pile consisting of 65% organic matter obtained by selective collection of municipal solid waste (MSW), 30% sewage sludge and 5% plant trimming ...
