Abstract

The stabilization level of the organic matter of compost from MSW has been monitored using the degree of humification (DH), the isoelectric focusing (IEF) and a Bimodal Gaussian Distribution (BGD) of pK of –COOH and phenolic –OH groups of HA. The results obtained show that these methods are able to monitor the processes.
