The town kitchen waste is the solid waste produced in foods production，transportation，distribution and consumption various aspects.Studies on kitchen waste aerobic composting of China is still lagging behind than the developed countries which became a hot research until 2000 AD.The paper introduced general mechanism of aerobic composting，summarized the research results about raw material pretreatment，microbial agent selection and inoculation，process conditions control，maturity judgment，compost forms and bioreactors in China.In summary,proper raw material pretreatment had to be processed for kitchen waste aerobic composting required,the main factors of process control were ventilation rate and agitation strength regulation.Aerobic compost cycle and the effect of compost processing on environment were affected by compost forms.The technical features and advantage disadvantage of different compost forms including stacking compost,trough compost,container compost,earthworm compost and fly antibacterial peptide compost were different,and could be suitable for different areas,however,all of them should have to meet the same maturity standards.Online monitoring systems had been used in maturity judgment in China.It was believed that the development of kitchen waste composting should be based on the source container dynamic/static compost to product organic fertilizer that could be used in balcony/terrace cropping,or product the primary humus centralized composting plants to process brands organic fertilizer.
