Feedstock Characterization for Enhanced Heat Recovery from Composting Processes: A Review by Kareem Osama Fakhri Al-Twal, Giovanni Beggio, Marco Schiavon, Maria Cristina Lavagnolo

“…Animal-based materials, which have high levels of moisture and nutrients, such as nitrogen (14.50–32.20 g/kg TS) and phosphorus (13.0–13.5 g/kg TS), promote rapid growth of microbes and consistent heat production supported by their stable carbon content (353.8–450.0 g/kg TS) and optimal C/N ratios (5.90–28.90). On the other hand, plant-based materials that are rich in volatile solids (327.2–960.0 g/kg TS) and lignin (36.7–290.0 g/kg TS) offer a steady and prolonged release of heat but decompose more slowly.…”
