Removal of pathogenic bacteria from sewage-treated effluent and biosolids for agricultural purposes

Applied Water Science, 2018
The reuse of treated sewage for irrigation is considered as an important alternative water source in the new water management strategy of the countries that face a severe deficiency of water resources such as the Middle East countries.

Distinct phosphorus release from fresh and legacy biosolids‐amended sandy soils

Agricultural & Environmental Letters
Biosolids are commonly used as soil amendments; however, repeated application of biosolids results in phosphorus (P) accumulation, elevating environmental risks by increasing P loss through runoff and leaching.

Soil Carbon Sequestration Resulting from Biosolids Application

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2014
Carbon (C) sequestration in soils through the increase of the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool has generated broad interest to mitigate the effects of climate change. Biosolids soil application may represent a persistent increase in the SOC pool.

Fly Ash and Composted Biosolids as a Source of Fe for Hybrid Poplar: A Greenhouse Study

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2011
Soils of northwest New Mexico have an elevated pH and CaCO3 content that reduces Fe solubility, causes chlorosis, and reduces crop yields. Could biosolids and fly ash, enriched with Fe, provide safe alternatives to expensive Fe EDDHA (sodium ferric ...

Residual Effects of Biosolids Application on Forage Production of Semiarid Grassland in Jalisco, Mexico

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2013
Single application of biosolids increases forage production on semiarid grasslands. Residual effects of biosolids on forage production have been scarcely measured in semiarid grasslands.

Estimating Nitrogen Availability of Heat-Dried Biosolids

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2011
As heat-dried biosolids become more widely produced and marketed, it is important to improve estimates of N availability from these materials. Objectives were to compare plant-available N among three different heat-dried biosolids and determine if ...

Importance of Musty Odour Character in the Emissions from Anaerobically Stabilized Dewatered Biosolids. Towards the Identification of Unknown Odour Components

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2022
Odours from stabilized anaerobically digested wastewater sludge – biosolids can cause local community odorous impact. Contributions from some volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to nuisance odours are not well understood.
