Velasco Gilberto Íñiguez Ciencias de la Tierra biosolids composting agave bagasse biodegradation The present research deals with the reduction of mass and volume during compostingbiosolids mixed with agave bagasse using measurements of nonvolatile solids (NVS)and bulk density. Temperature was measured daily and samples were taken to determinepH, dry matter, electrical conductivity, organic matter, ash, organic carbon, nitrogen andbulk density. At the end of the composting time, biosolids compost was subjected to anearthworm and phytotoxicity bioassays. Some physical properties as bulk density, totalpore space, easily available water, water buffer content, difficult available water and air capacity were also analyzed in the biosolids compost. Reduction in mass averaged57.1 %, volume reduction 77.2 % and losses of organic carbon 67.2 and nitrogen averaged25.6 %, respectively. The compost had no adverse effects on earthworm andphytotoxicity bioassays. Physical properties of biosolids improved with the compostingprocess 2006 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37022203 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.2 Vol.22
