Abstract:
... The efficiency of biochar for reducing the levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC) was investigated in a composting mixture containing 90% poultry manure and 10% straw (with and without 3% biochar addition) at three different stages of the process. The use of a low application rate of biochar reduced the concentration of VOC during the thermophilic phase. Biochar significantly reduced the level ...

Abstract:
... A composting study was performed to assess the impact of biochar addition to a mixture of poultry manure and barley straw. Two treatments: control (78% poultry manure+22% barley straw, dry weight) and the same mixture amended with biochar (3% dry weight), were composted in duplicated windrows during 19weeks. Typical monitoring parameters and gaseous emissions (CO2, CO, CH4, N2O and H2S) were evalu ...

biochar; greenhouse gas emissions; naphthalene; nitrous oxide; phenanthrene; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; soil
Abstract:
... The presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been postulated as a mechanism by which biochar might mitigate N2O emissions. We studied whether and to what extent N2O emissions were influenced by the three most abundant PAHs in biochar: naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene. We hypothesised that biochars contaminated with PAHs would show a larger N2O mitigation capacity and that increa ...

Abstract:
... Re-vegetation is the main aim of ecological restoration projects, where the use of native plants is recommended over exogenous species, which may result in an undesirable modification of the ecosystem. A 10-year phytoremediation programme was carried out in a site affected by the toxic spill of pyritic (iron sulphide) residue at Aznalcóllar (Spain) in 1998, contaminated with heavy metals (Cd, Cu, ...

Abstract:
... Digestate, the by-product of the anaerobic digestion, can present characteristics which would limit its recycling by direct use in agricultural soils. Composting can be a feasible treatment to stabilise digestate and thus, to improve its properties for using as a soil conditioner or substrate. The aim of this work was to study the viability of composting for the recycling of digestates after solid ...

Abstract:
... The usefulness of a digestate from an anaerobic codigestion process as a fertiliser product was evaluated in a field experiment using two horticultural crops (watermelon and cauliflower), during two successive growing seasons. The effects of the digestate were compared with those of a traditional organic amendment (cattle manure) and a conventional mineral fertiliser. Digestate addition to soil pr ...

Mixtures made from the solid fraction of a digestate (obtained from the anaerobic co-digestion of cattle slurry and silage), with or without vine shoot prunings as bulking agent, were composted by the Rutgers composting system. During composti ...

Abstract:
... Reclamation of trace element polluted soils often requires the improvement of the soil quality by using appropriate organic amendments. Low quality compost from municipal solid waste has been tested for reclamation of soils, but these materials can provide high amounts of heavy metals. Therefore, a high-quality compost, with low levels of heavy metals, produced from the main by-product of the Span ...

Abstract:
... New livestock production systems, based on intensification in large farms, produce huge amount of manures and slurries without enough agricultural land for their direct application as fertilisers. Composting is increasingly considered a good way for recycling the surplus of manure as a stabilised and sanitised end-product for agriculture, and much research work has been carried out in the last dec ...
