Abstract

Many scientific papers deal with composting and particularly with compost stability and maturity indexes. It traduces searchers and industrials' interest to dispose of control parameters to evaluate the quality of the treatment and of the product. This paper aims synthesizing the knowledge concerning the indexes proposed in the literature. Particularly, it tries to link these indexes with the composting reactional phenomena in order to appreciate their relevance to evaluate the compost stability or the quality of the composting treatment.
