Physico-chemical changes and kinetics for mineralisation of EFB composting

Composting is a biochemical process, highly dependent on temperature and aeration rate. This research aims at studying the mineral dynamics, developing an empirical model and optimising the composting of EFB. Mineralisation of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium were found to be affected by...
