The process of decomposition -- the breakdown of raw organic materials to a finished compost -- is a gradual complex process, one in which both chemical and biological processes must occur in order for organic matter to change into compost.
Anaerobic decomposition takes place in nature, as in the decomposition of the organic muds at the bottom of marshes and in buried organic materials to which oxygen does not have access.
Considerable cellulose and lignin decomposition by actinomycetes and fungi can occur near the end of the composting period when the temperatures have begun to drop and the environment in a larger part of the pile is satisfactory for their growth.

 Chapter Laws of electro-chemical decomposition. of Faraday as a Discoverer by John Tyndall
A crowd of facts of this character forced upon Faraday's mind the conclusion that the amount of electro-chemical decomposition depends, not upon the size of the electrodes, not upon the intensity of the current, not upon the strength of the solution, but solely upon the quantity of electricity which passes through the cell.
The quantity of electricity he concludes is proportional to the amount of chemical action.
The decomposition of his acidulated water is certainly a direct result of the current; but as the varied and important researches of MM.

 Portable hydrogen generator - Patent 5593640
The hydrogen generated by the primary chemical hydride 14 migrates to the upper region of inner vessel 26, and flows through filter material 30b as the hydrogen exits inner vessel 26 via conduit 21 and is supplied to hydrogen buffer 20.
The hydrogen generated by the heating composition 16b and primary chemical hydride 14 migrates to the upper region of inner vessel 26, and flows through filter material 30b as the hydrogen exits inner vessel 26 via conduit 21 and is supplied to the hydrogen buffer 20.
After primary chemical hydride 14 reaches a temperature of 100 degrees C., the primary chemical hydride is hydrolyzed with steam which is formed in conduit 19, and the primary chemical hydride 14 becomes the major contributor to the total output of hydrogen from hydrogen generators 10a and 10b.

Chemical reactions are characterized by a chemical change and it yields one or more products which are different from the reactants.
Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that strictly involve the motion of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds, although the general concept of a chemical reaction, in particular the notion of a chemical equation, is applicable to transformations of elementary particles, as well as nuclear reactions.
Chemical reactions may be classified in different ways depending on the particular aspect considered for elaborating the division, or on the branch of Chemistry which the classification originates from.

 Davy, On Some Chemical Agencies of Electricity (1806)
The chemical effects produced by electricity have been for some time objects of philosophical attention; but the novelty of the phenomena, their want of analogy to known facts, and the apparent discordance of some of the results, have involved the inquiry in much obscurity.
This decomposition was likewise very slow; but in the course of two days a pretty strong solution of lime was obtained in one tube; and an acid fluid in the other, which precipitated acetite of lead, and left a spot upon the glass from which it had evaporated.
For if chemical union be of the nature which I have ventured to suppose, however strong the natural electrical energies of the elements of bodies may be, yet there is every probability of a limit to their strength: whereas the powers of our artificial instruments seem capable of indefinite increase.

A chemical reaction is a process involving one, two or more substances (called reactants), characterized by a chemical change and yielding one or more product(s) which are different from the reactants.
A Chemical change is defined as molecules attaching to each other to form larger molecules, molecules breaking apart to form two, or more, smaller molecules, or rearrangement of atoms within molecules.
The basic reason which explains the occurrence of Chemical reactions is the tendency to lower the Chemical system energy and/or to raise the global entropy, which is closely related to energetic exchanges as well.

 Chemical Weathering
The extent to which the breakdown has occurred may be given as the index of weathering, usually expressed as the ratio of a common element like aluminum or iron present in the secondary mineral compared to the total present in the soil.
Water is the essential agent in chemical weathering, either reacting with the minerals directly or carrying dissolved species which themselves react with the minerals.
Instead, salts may be left at or near the surface from the evaporation of the little available water, or a variety of rock like crusts may form such as the calcium carbonate-rich calcrete (or caliche).
