“…This difference could be attributed to the higher concentration of lignocellulosic substrate in mixture A. Filippi et al (2002) identified that some products cause a temporary lag-phase in the decomposition of the organic fraction during composting. Adani et al (2001) showed that the oxygen level, organic matter stabilization and moisture limitation generate a biological activity lag-phase.…”

“…The OMWW has to be preabsorbed in a solid substrate in order to proceed with the composting process. To obtain good results, a broad variety of bulking agents, including wheat straw (Galli et al 1997;Tomati et al 1995), maize straw (Paredes et al 2000) and solid olive and olive tree waste (Vlyssides et al 1999;Filippi et al 2002), have been found acceptable.…”

“…Among the possible technologies for recycling the TPOMW, composting is gaining interest as a sustainable strategy to recycle this residue for agricultural purposes (Alburquerque et al 2006;Filippi et al 2002;Cayuela et al 2008a, b). The TPOMW needs also to be mixed with bulking agents such as grape stalk (Alburquerque et al 2006) or straw (Madejón et al 1998), due to its semi-solid consistency and low porosity.…”

Olive-mill wastes are produced by the industry of olive oil production, which is a very important economic activity, particularly for Spain, Italy and Greece, leading to a large environmental problem of current concern in the Mediterranean basin. There is as yet no accepted treatment method for all the wastes generated during olive oil production, mainly due to technical and economical limitations but also the scattered nature of olive mills across the Mediterranean basin. The production of virgin olive oil is expanding worldwide, which will lead to even larger amounts of olive-mill waste, unless new treatment and valorisation technologies are devised. These are encouraged by the trend of current environmental policies, which favour protocols that include valorisation of the waste. This makes biological treatments of particular interest. Thus, research into different biodegradation options for olive-mill wastes and the development of new bioremediation technologies and/or strategies, as well as the valorisation of microbial biotechnology, are all currently needed. This review, whilst presenting a general overview, focusses critically on the most significant recent advances in the various types of biological treatments, the bioremediation technology most commonly applied and the valorisation options, which together will form the pillar for future developments within this field.

“…In this way it is possible to obtain a not phytotoxic organic material, humus-like partially transformed, that could be used in fertilization plans to restore or maintain soil fertility on partial or total substitution of mineral fertilizers (Benitez et al, 1997;Filippi et al, 2002;Galli et al, 1997;Paredes et al, 2002;Tomati et al, 1995;Vallini et al, 2001).…”
