Methods for controlling ignitability of organic waste with mineral by-products

Organic waste solids formed by a method comprising

• determining an ignition threshold temperature for organic waste and at least one mineral by-product;
• selecting a ratio of organic waste:mineral by-product based on the ignition threshold temperature;
• combining the at least one mineral by-product with the organic waste, so as to arrive at a mixture having the selected ratio of organic waste:mineral by-product;
• and
• drying the mixture of organic waste and mineral by-product to produce organic waste solids.
