This work reports a scalable synthesis of water-dispersible fluorescent carbon nanodots based on the simple hydrothermal method (180 °C for 6 h) of kitchen wastes (grape peel for example). We discuss the feasibility of synthesis from kitchen wastes both experimentally and theoretically, and the as-prepared nanodots have high selectivity for Fe(3+) ions based on fluorescence quenching which is due to the complexes between nanodots and metal ions.

Sludge mature compost (SMC) is notable for its high production, easy accessibility, and stable supply. This study investigated the impact of the SMC addition and different aeration rates on the humification and nitrogen fixing process during kitchen waste composting. The results demonstrated that addition of SMC prolonged the thermophilic phase, as a comparison, increased aeration shortened this phase.

In recent years, the dispersal of potentially invasive plants, animals, and pathogens via international trading routes for fresh agricultural goods has been the subject of intensive research and risk assessment. Comparatively little is known about the potential impact of global food trade on the spreading of symbiotic soil microorganisms, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The present study thus assessed whether internationally traded underground crop harvest products carry AM fungal propagules.

Aerobic composting is an environmentally friendly and effective approach to treating organic solid waste. The variability in material composition introduces complex interactions between environmental factors and materials, which in turn affects compost maturity. This study uses multiple statistical analyses to systematically compare key indicators across composting processes for kitchen waste, livestock manure, and sludge.
