Study on solid waste management which involves sampling of solid waste, characterization, collection, bioprocessing and disposal
Studies on the Effect of Toxic Heavy Metals on Earthworms and Vermicompost sponsored by Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, New Delhi (1998-2001).
Solid Waste Management from Food Processing Industries, a project on high moisture and putrescible solid waste entitled sponsored by Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Government of India.
Since last 10 years, Dr. Bhoyar has been engaged for developing two phase biomethanation of MSW.
Project on Management of Solid Waste in 59 Cities (Class I and Class II) sponsored by CPCB, Delhi.
Research project on Bioprocessing of various types of solid waste and leachate treatment. Research & development contribution for bioprocessing approach is in the area of composting, anaerobic digestion, vermicomposting. Special involvement includes eco-friendly management of solid waste for Lakshadweep Islands
R&D studies on various aspects like biodegradability, humification and nitrification, fate of pathogens and health impact due to disposal of solid waste.
R&D contribution in various areas of bioprocessing aspects are :
Composting : Conducted studies on composting involving degradation of various chemical constituents of biomass like cellulose, proteins, lignin and starches during aerobic composting. Special research involvement is 'in vitro' cellulose activity during composting in mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. Composting also encompasses studies on ammonification and nitrification.
Biomethanation of MSW : Involved in research for developing biomethanation process appropriate for municipal solid waste in India.
Vermicomposting : Carried studies on vermicomposting of biodegradable solid waste, presently engaged in research on influence of toxic heavy metals on the activity of earthworms and vermicompost.
In addition to above R&D activities involves in studies on biodegradability of solid waste under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, improvement in the quality of compost. Special contribution is for health aspects of solid waste management.
