Changes in selected hydrophobic components during composting of municipal solid wastes

Abstract: Purpose One of the most practical ways to utilise municipal solid waste is composting, thereby producing materials that may be productively used to improve soil properties. Wastes, as well as mature composts, contain hydrophobic substances, including fats, which are more resistant to microbiological decomposition than other constituents. The aim of this work was to determine qualitative and quantitative changes of hydrophobic substances, especially fatty acids, during the course of municipal solid waste compos… Show more

“…This is observed in the case of CAIP with a pH of 8.2-9.9. Low pH on the other occurs usually due to the formation of fatty acids especially the saturated type which do not often get decomposed through the composting process [39]. Most compost without the problem of saturated fatty acid formation has a pH of 7.2 to 8.3 [40] as seen in the case of CBAIP.…”
