Apr 1, 2020 · The aim of this review is to focus on the potential risks of inorganic and organic contaminants to plant growth, soil, groundwater, and consequently the food chain and environment related to the utilization of digested sludge as a fertilizer on cropland.
4 Best Compost Machines for Beginner Composters - GreenCitizen. This Countertop Compost Machine Turns Scraps into Compost in . Mar 27, 2024 · The Lomi countertop compost machine makes turning kitchen scraps into compost the easiest thing ever.
Apr 1, 2023 · One of the most pressing environmental problems worldwide is sewage sludge (SS) management. Every year, wastewater volume increases and thus, the amount of SS produced increases as well. The disposal of SS in landfills, as practiced in many countries, is not a sustainable solution. Instead, SS, rich in organic matter and other nutrients, can be used as an alternative soil additive or
Nov 1, 2014 · Among them, composting is the most ideal because sewage sludge contains large amounts of organic matter, nitrogen, and other mineral elements (Villasenor et al., 2011) and composting can convert
Apr 21, 2023 · This solid-liquid separation equipment is mainly used in animal manure management, such as cow dung, chicken manure, etc. It separates the solid from the liquid. After separation, the organic solids can be further processed into organic/bio-organic fertilizer or commercial compost for sale, so this machine can be applied to manure organic
Step 3: Mixing with quicklime – with the amount of lime calculated, the sludge liming stage is carried out when the windrow is full of sludge and a batch is completed. Step 4: Batch maturation – after quicklime mixing, the batch maturation phase lasts around 45 days. Step 5: Sampling and Characterization - after batch maturation, the
Jun 24, 2022 · Moreover, four bio-enhanced degradation scenarios of FQs were set up according to the different temperatures and carbon–nitrogen ratio (C/N) in the sewage sludge composting stage, and the molecular dynamic (MD) simulation assisted by protein–protein docking was used to screen the external environmental factors that promote the degradation
Dec 22, 2020 · This study aims at validating the use of quality biowaste compost and sewage sludge from secondary sedimentation (alone or in combination with mineral fertilizers) in a Mediterranean agroecosystem and their effects on soil chemical and biological quality, with a view to verifying the maintenance of soil fertility and functionality.
Apr 1, 2019 · This composting experiment was carried out using sewage sludge mixed with sawdust, and different amounts of zero-valent iron (ZVI) were added to investigate the effect on volatile gases, such as
Nov 18, 2022 · The wastewater draining from massive pools of sewage sludge has the potential to play a role in more sustainable agriculture, according to environmental engineering researchers at Drexel
Composting is widely used for recycling of urban sewage sludge to improve soil properties, which represents a potential pathway of spreading antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes to soils. However, the dynamics of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the underlying mechanisms during sewage sludge composting were not fully explored. Here, we used high-throughput quantitative PCR and 16S
Feb 2, 2018 · The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of sewage sludge composting using a simple aeration method. Two consecutive composting trials (run A and run B) using Japanese sludge and woodchips (1:1, v/v) were conducted in cubic boxes (0.45 × 0.45 × 0.45 m3) made by plywood at Okayama University. Air was forced up through small holes perforated on two open-ended parallel PVC
Jun 7, 2021 · Sewage sludge land application is strongly recommended to improve soil quality and fertility despite the presence of pollutants, pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes. This study aimed to assess the fertilization value of low and recommended by law sewage sludge dose (15 t ha−1).
Jan 14, 2021 · In present study, the effects of carbon sources on compost process and quality were evaluated in the lab-scale sewage sludge (SS) composting.
Sep 10, 2022 · Samples were collected at the following composting days. The dewatered sewage sludge before composting was collected as the control samples (Day 0, labeled as A), C1 samples on Day 2 during calefactive phase (about 35–55 °C lasting around 3 days), C2 samples on Day 7 during thermophilic phase (above about 60 °C and this phase maintained
