abstract
In waste processing facilities equipped with mechanical biological treatment systems, the
municipal solid waste (MSW) is separated and the organic fraction is then treated by anaerobic
digestion, obtaining compost that can be used as fertilizer. However, the production of compost
from MBT is higher than the existing demand. This work proposes the valorization of compost
derived from MSW to produced activated carbons by Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) [1].
