Microbial Ecosystems Responsible for Anaerobic and Composting

Within the last few years, composting has emerged as an alternative to anaerobic digestion for the treatment of wastewater sludge. These biological processes are examined and compared from the fundamental perspective of their underlying microbial ecosystems. The strengths and weaknesses of the proce...

Description
Summary:Within the last few years, composting has emerged as an alternative to anaerobic digestion for the treatment of wastewater sludge. These biological processes are examined and compared from the fundamental perspective of their underlying microbial ecosystems. The strengths and weaknesses of the processes are explored relative to contemporary needs in sludge management.
