The main objective of this research was to study the physical and chemical properties of compost made of MSW. In this article, comparisons between aerobic and anaerobic composting processes have been discussed. As well as, results showed that utilization of aerobic and anaerobic composting of municipal solid waste caused significant differences in a few of chemical and physical properties. The results of this research appear that application of aerobic composting method in carbon sequestratio.. View more»
