Pedron and M. Grifoni and F. Gorini and I. Rosellini and B. Pezzarossa}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Composting is a controlled technology to enhance the natural aerobic process of organic wastes degradation. The resulting product is a humified material that is principally recyclable for agricultural purpose. The composting process is one of the most important tools for waste management, by the European Community legislation. In recent years composting has been increasingly used as a remediation technology to remove biodegradable contaminants from soil, and to modulate heavy metals bioavailability in phytoremediation strategies. An optimization in the recovery of resources from wastes through composting could enhance soil fertility and promote its use in the remediation biotechnologies of contaminated soils. }, journal = {International Journal of Environmental and Ecological Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {6}, year = {2014}, pages = {432 - 435}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9998547}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/90}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 90, 2014}, }
