Abstract

The effects of thermophilic aerobic microbial community (TAMC) in a pilot combination composting process of municipal solid waste (MSM) were systematically researched through examining temperature, carbon to nitrogen ration(C/N), inspecting biomass etc. Composting was performed under such conditions: original organic matter of 53%, original moisture of 57.6%, original ratio of C/N of 29, aeration flow of 0.05 m3/min*m3. The rates of adding TAMC to treatment 1, treatment 2 and treatment 3 were 1%, 3%, 5% respectively. Control experiment added 3% inactive TAMC. The inoculated compost was found with its high temperature advanced, high temperature keeping much longer. The result of TAMC was effective to decompose organic matter and speed up composting changing into humus.
