Description The present study aims to utilize coal fly ash for its property to adsorb heavy metals and thus reducing the
bioavailability of the metals for plant uptake. Fly ash was incorporated into the in-vessel composting system
along with organic waste. The in-vessel composting experiments were conducted in ten plastic vessels of 15 L
capacity comprising varying proportions of biomass waste, kitchen waste and fly ash. In this study, maximum
degradation of organic matter was observed in Vessel 3 having k value of 0.550 d−1. In vessel 10, 20% fly ash
with a combination of 50% biomass waste and 30% kitchen waste along with the addition of 5% jaggery as an
additive produced the best outcome with least organic matter (%C) loss and lowest value of rate constant (k).
