Influence of Physico-Chemical and Bioactivators for Composting of Traditional Market Vegetable Waste

Abstract

Reprocessing organic vegetable waste from conventional markets can have beneficial effects, such as producing bioenergy, reducing the need for inorganic fertilizers, and minimizing the volume of contaminants in the environment. Organic material composting can help lower greenhouse gas emissions and generate income. Physical-chemical factors like temperature, pH, particle size, moisture content, aeration, and CN ratio were used to regulate the breakdown process. Trichoderma harzianum, an effective microorganism, and Trichoderma harzianum helped the degradation process function. High-quality compost is produced by converting organic matter in a bioreactor system, where the solid substrate replenishes nutrients. Based on the optimum point of the decomposition procedure, the analytical findings were achieved. After that the material had been homogenized and aerated, this process took place (oxygen). When the temperature is increased, the active and ripening stages take place, which triggers the breakdown process. The ideal temperature for composting, between 30-45 °C, was reached. The temperature steadily drops when the majority of the material has broken down, and the composting process is complete.

Characterization of composting process and chemical composition of compost from recycling centers in Surabaya City, Indonesia

“…Physical and chemical factors, including temperature, pH, particle size, moisture content, aeration, and C/N ratio, are crucial in regulating decomposition (Yanqoritha, 2023). During incubation, variables observed include changes in raw materials, color, smells, temperature, and pH.…”

“…The highest temperature at these two levels was at P2 using a commercial bioactivator, the temperature achieved was 52 ºC. This is Temperature ( 0 C) according to opinion [20] that the initial temperature of composting increases due to the activity of microorganisms in decomposing organic material with oxygen, thereby producing energy in the form of heat, CO2 and water vapor. Heat stored in the pile will increase the temperature, after reaching the peak the temperature will decrease and stabilize until the composting process is complete.…”
