The invention relates to a method of controlled aerobic treatment in an enclosed environment for organic waste. This waste is mixed with quicklime in granulate form and at least one mineral absorbent, whilst maintaining hydration in order to develop the exothermic reaction. At least one binding material is added to the mixture before, during and after the exothermic reaction. The mixture is then left to age without mixing, whilst being ventilated. The quicklime comprises anhydrous calcium oxide made up of 4-10% of particles having an average size of less than 2mm, the rest of the particles having sizes between 2-90mm. An installation suitable for implementing the method is also described. |
