Optimization of effective composting process of oil palm industrial waste by lignocellulolytic fungi

A batch study was carried out to optimize four process parameters such as particle size (1–5 mm), pH (4–7), mix ratio (1:1–1:3) of substrates (empty fruit bunch, EFB and palm oil mill efﬂuent, POME) and supplementary nutrient as non-food cassava starch (0–2 % w/w). The parameters were evaluated ba...
