Evaluation of selective clay minerals and biochar as materials for sewage sludge stabilization Open
The objectives of this study were to evaluate sewage sludge’s stabilization with untested until now materials, such as selective clay minerals or biochar in comparison with liming, for enhancing sludge’s fertilization capacity. Dewatered s…
Soil Application of Sewage Sludge Treated with Clay Minerals or Biochar and Its Effect on Soil Properties and White Clover’s (Trifolium repens L.) Growth and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Root Colonization Open
From the perspective of finding new, more environmental-friendly methods for the stabilization of sewage sludge to be used in agriculture, sludge treated with 15% bentonite, vermiculite or biochar was investigated as a soil amendment for w…
Nitrogen dynamics of two contrasting soils amended with two types of municipal sewage sludge. Open
Under the framework of Cyclic Economy and EU Green Deal, sewage sludge represents an ideal soil amendment with a potential to increase soil OM, provide nutrients and reduce chemical fertilization, which otherwise would be disposed in landf…
Nutrient and microbial dynamics of soils amended with sewage sludge stabilized with clay minerals and biochar; a preliminary study. Open
Sewage sludge production from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) progressively exceeds 60 Million m3 p.a. in the EU. Although it is rich in organic matter (OM) and essential nutrients for crop production, sewage sludge is mainly disposed i…
