(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in class test.

This intriguing question originated from Aerobic Treatment of Solid Wastes in section Biotechnology for Solid Waste Management of Environmental Biotechnology

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

For explanation I would say: Reactor composting is often carried out in a closed vessel or reactor which has outlets and inlets for exchange of gases, hence, forced exchange of gases takes place. Reactor composting is classified into several types such as, vertical reactor, rotating drum, horizontal reactor on basis of material flow pattern.
