“…There is no consensus about the best possible particle size for composting. Studies have used different particle sizes in their investigations, for instance, ≤ 1 cm in food waste composting [ 9 , 20 , 31 ] and 1.5–3.0 cm in composting of cattle, chicken, kitchen, and municipal solid waste [ 21 ]. Some researchers have studied the effect of particle size of the bulking agents on the composting process.…”

“…Lower moisture content (usually <40%) could cause early dehydration during composting, hindering the biological process. However, the optimal moisture content depends on the feedstock’s physical characteristics, including the particle size and water-holding capacity, but a range of 55–65% has been utilized by most composting studies treating various types of organic materials [ 13 , 31–33 ]. The moisture content will also vary throughout the composting process depending on the temperature and aeration.…”

“…Interest in composting research can also be seen to increase over the period steadily. The research has primarily focused on optimizing and shortening the composting process [ 55 , 56 ], odor control [ 57 , 58 ], microbial community structure [ 47 , 59 , 60 ], composting application including heat recovery [ 61–63 ] and bioremediation [ 6 , 9 , 31 ]. Figure 2(b) shows the publication of articles on bioremediation in those three decades.…”

This review investigates the findings of the most up-to-date literature on bioremediation via composting technology. Studies on bioremediation via composting began during the 1990s and have exponentially increased over the years. A total of 655 articles have been published since then, with 40% published in the last six years. The robustness, low cost, and easy operation of composting technology make it an attractive bioremediation strategy for organic contaminants prevalent in soils and sediment. Successful pilot-and large-scale bioremediation of organic contaminants, e.g., total petroleum hydrocarbons, plasticizers, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by composting, has been documented in the literature. For example, composting could remediate >90% diesel with concentrations as high as 26,315 mg kg −a of initial composting material after 24 days. Composting has unique advantages over traditional single- and multi-strain bioaugmentation approaches, including a diverse microbial community, ease of operation, and the ability to handle higher concentrations. Bioremediation via composting depends on the diverse microbial community; thus, key parameters, including nutrients (C/N ratio = 25–30), moisture (55–65%), and oxygen content (O 2 > 10%) should be optimized for successful bioremediation. This review will provide bioremediation and composting researchers with the most recent finding in the field and stimulate new research ideas.

Food waste generation is increasing at an exponential rate, affecting the environment, food security, and causing major economic issues worldwide. The main aim of the current research is to investigate a novel composting technology that is still in its early stages of development. The proposed composting technology combining thermophilic composting with the use of advanced automated processing reactors. Starting from a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the waste generated at retail-stores, the most significant difficulties associated to waste management as well as the main characteristics of the discarded waste were identified. The findings allowed to design and evaluate the real operating performance of an automated thermophilic composting prototype (working in a decentralized regime), with the goal of delivering a faster processing system, improving operational efficiency, reducing expenses, and lowering environmental impacts. The proposed operating technique showed a high capacity for pathogens and seeds removal, the waste input mass reduction of 88%, and efficiency in food processing (2235 kg of fruits and vegetables in a 14-days timeframe).

“…In such cases, the most efficient monitoring of odors should be their evolution in time [3,7,18]. At the same time, this technology is being applied to a wide variety of organic waste [36] and even for soil remediation purposes [37,38]. Therefore, the odors will be also different.…”

In recent decades, a new generation of waste treatment plants based on biological treatments (mainly anaerobic digestion and/or composting) has arisen all over the world. These plants have been progressively substituted for incineration facilities and landfills. Although these plants have evident benefits in terms of their environmental impact and higher recovery of material and energy, the release into atmosphere of malodorous compounds and its mitigation is one of the main challenges that these plants face. In this review, the methodology to determine odors, the main causes of having undesirable gaseous emissions, and the characterization of odors are reviewed. Finally, another important topic of odor abatement technologies is treated, especially those related to biological low-impact processes. In conclusion, odor control is the main challenge for a sustainable implementation of modern waste treatment plants.
