Description :
An investigation was carried out in the laboratory scale basis to find out the microbial dynamics and enzyme activities during rapid composting of municipal solid waste (MSW). The effect of various additives and Various treatments such as aeration (A),glucose (G) acetic acid (AA) and application of cellulolytic microbial (M) inoculum (Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Trichoderma reesei) were used to facilitate the decomposition of MSW. The result of the investigation revealed that the degradation of organic substrates were quick (within 10– 14 days) Whereas, the normal composting took more than 30 days to attain C/N ratio of below 20. A perusal of results showed that addition of additives specific degradation profiles of various labile substrates contained in organic waste.
