This work investigates the influence of the type sludge on drainage, plant development, purification performances and biosolids quality. Drainage properties were measured through the frequency of clogging, the percent...
A chemical leaching process was used for the cleanup of two municipal biosolids(MOS and BES)spiked with Cd,Cu,Zn or their mixture prior to agricultural use.Non-cleaned,cleaned and washed biosolids were compared as soi...
Dear Editor,Conditioning of soils of low organic carbon(OC)is essential to establish optimal fertility conditions for the growth and development of future crops.A usual practice is the substrates of various origins,am...
A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the heavy metal accumulation in maize (Zea mays L.) plant grown in chromated copper arsenate (CCA) soil amended with treated composted sewage biosolid. The initial concent...
Phosphorus(P) is an essential nutrient required for plant development.Continuous population growth and rising global demand for food are expected to increase the demand for phosphate fertilizers.However,high-quality p...
Limited information exists on natural nanocolloid sorption behavior of As, Se, Cu and Pb in the environment. They are expected to have variable competitive sorption characteristics depending on size and composition an...
Due to their enhanced stability and contaminant transport potential, environmental nanoparticles derived from soil and biosolid materials may pose a considerable risk to groundwater quality. Very little information ex...
In this study, Nitrogen leaching following surface application of biosolid with and without polyacrylamide (PAM) coating was investigated using soil column experiments. Three treatments including bare soil (C), a comm...
