Objectives: To recycle, reduce and reuse hazardous distillery spent wash (DSW). Pressmud cake (PMC) fly ash, Eicchornia/Azolla/trash/litter and DSW inoculated with Trichoderma viride were observed for temperature based decomposer phases (psychrophilic, mesophillic, thermophilic, stabilization and poikilothermic). N. Mineralization in immature (IMC) and mature compost (MC) was evaluated by C/N ratio and plant bioassay test ...
