Risk Assessment of the Use of Biosolids Containing Emerging Organic Contaminants in Agriculture
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2014 In this study the risk analysis related to the presence of selected pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in biosolids used for land application was assessed.

Steady‐State Anaerobic Co‐Digestion of Aqueous Condensate From Municipal Sludge Pyrolysis
Water Environment Research, Volume 97, Issue 12, December 2025.Anaerobic digestion of aqueous pyrolysis liquid (APL) was achieved despite its toxicity challenges. Optimal retention time, loading and acclimated inoculum improved APL conversion to methane. APL ozonation enhanced methane production, reaching 98% of theoretical yield.

Model based study of autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) processes : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Engineering and Automation of Massey University [PDF]
, 2000 An Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion process, or ATAD process, is a relatively new sewage sludge treatment process. The ATAD process has been developed for the disinfection and stabilisation of sewage sludge, which is a by-product of wastewater ...

Particle size and metal distributions in anaerobically digested pig slurry [PDF]
, 2008 Particle size distribution and trace element patterns were studied in a full-scale anaerobic digestion plant treating pig slurry. Mass balance was established for major (N, P, K, Ca, Fe, Mg and S) and minor (Al, Cu, Mn and Zn) elements.

Effects of composting manures and other organic wastes on soil processes and pest and disease interactions [PDF]
, 2003 Introduction Composts and manures are of major importance in providing fertility in organic farming systems, since synthetic fertilisers are prohibited. It is understood that composts have radically different nutrient release characteristics to those of

Measurement and control of odorous and polluting gases from wastes : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Soil Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2004 Management of odorous and polluting gases from wastes is a world-wide challenge. Gaseous losses of nitrogen and sulphur from stored manure and sewage biosolids can be considerable, and these gaseous are offensive and undesirable.
