Title: Applcation of sewage sludge in composting technology for eradication of pathogenic bacteria.
Abstract: The conducted work included , eradication of pathogenic bacteria by the recycling of some organic residues through compost processing, and investigation on the impacts of using such produced composts for inducing the safe agricultural production. The organic residues were mixed at ratios to attain comparable initial C/N ratio of about 30:1 through all the tested heaps before composting. The composting process was conducted for 10 weeks whereas the final C/N ratios were 13.2 and 14.39 For the two types sewage sludge and cow dung of produced compost, respectively. No significant difference between the type of pile in Physical and chemical analysis were determined during the composting process including bulk density, moisture content dry matter, organic matter, total nitrogen 43 ammoniacal nitrogen (NH - N), nitrate (NO N), pH, EC, temperature and C/N ratio, at periods of +-
