Changes in physicochemical and microbial community during co-composting of oil palm frond with palm oil mill effluent anaerobic sludge
The aims of this study were to investigate the physicochemical changes and microbial population during co-composting of 1 ton oil palm frond (OPF) with 1,000 L palm oil mill effluent (POME) anaerobic sludge. In the first 30 days of composting, the temperature of the composting piles was observed in...
