Proposal of a composting model to predict and manage gaseous emissions and quality of compost
Proposition d'un modèle de compostage pour prédire et gérer les émissions gazeuses et la qualité des composts
Résumé
Composting is commonly used to treat solid organic residues and to recycle them as a soil improver or as an organic fertilizer for agricultural soils. An environmental limit of the composting process is linked to the gaseous emissions (GHG and NH3) released by this biological treatment. The objective of this study was to propose a numerical model predicting gaseous emissions and the final compost quality in order to optimize composting management practices.
