This book introduces classification and treatment technologies of food waste and then illustrates mechanisms of different typical aerobic fermentation processes of food waste from organic carbon component conversion and microbial succession. Then it presents the preparation and characterization of the synergistic soil conditioner derived from food waste. Finally, it demonstrates how the synergistic soil conditioner is applied into the improvement of organic-matter-impoverished soil as well...

This book offers a precise and rigorous analysis of the meanings of offensive words in Chinese.
