Full-Scale of a Compost Process Using Swine Manure, Human Feces, and Rice Straw as Feedstock.

ABSTRACT: Regarding the composting of rural waste, numerous studies either addressed the composting of a single waste component or were conducted at a laboratory/pilot scale. However, far less is known about the mixed composting effect of multi-component rural waste on a large scale. Here, we examined nutrient transformation, maturity degree of decomposition, and succession of microbial communities in large-scale (1,000 kg mixed waste) compost of multi-component wastes previously optimized by response models. The results showed that multi-component compost can achieve the requirement of maturity and exhibit a higher nutritional value in actual compost. It is worth noting that the mixed compost effectively removed pathogenic fungi, in which almost no pathogenic fungi were detected, and only two patho
