Abstract

This study was designed to monitor the pH during process of composting by using organic wastesegregated from municipal solid waste. pH was measured by preparing sample in laboratory by mixingcompost with distilled water (1:10). and monitored in laboratory for the authentic results. The main objectiveof this study was to monitor the effect of pH during aerobic composting process that do not release harmfulgases. It concluded that the pH value end up with alkalinity in degradation process but initially it wasacidic.
