Composting of briquetted tobacco dust

This study undertook investigations on the elaboration and determination of the utilization efficiency of briquetted tobacco dust in the composting process using mature compost (with municipal sewage sludge and wheat straw) and fresh municipal aerobic sewage sludge. The objective of performed investigations was to ascertain possibilities of obtain of a stable compost intended for non-industrial purposes and to check up on rate of biodegradation of briquetted tobacco dust characterized by exceptional hardness. The experiment comprised two compost piles and was conducted for five months. The performed studies indicated, that composting of tobacco waste with mature compost and sewage sludge in estimated C:N ratio is advisable alternative of this waste management to till now using methods.
