I work with radioactively contaminated biomass. The problem is the quantity of biomass needed for experiments. Now I begin with some experiment: the biomass is in 0,5 l bottle and it seems that degradation runs. Which paramaters should I observe? I weight it, measure the temperature, pH of leachate,... what else? My possibilities are a bit limited, we never before dealt with this issue. My attention is focused on radionuclides behavior during composting process.
thanks for advice
