“…The three pellet types showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between 10, 20, and 40 Mg ha -1 , especially Pellet 1, which contained a higher proportion of fly ash. The highest pH values occurred at the highest dose of 40 Mg ha -1 in amended soil (Gagnon et al, 2012;Brannvall et al, 2015). This indicated that pellets containing fly ash can correct the acidity of degraded soil; on average, 0.1 pH unit per 5.5 Mg pellets was the result in the studied Alfisol that showed low buffer capacity.…”

Pulp and paper mill waste, such as biomass fly ash and sewage sludge, is commonly disposed of in landfills. This waste can be valuable as nutrients and C sources for degraded soils. Ash and sludge samples were chemically characterized before ash/sludge pellets were experimentally manufactured for use as soil amendment. An incubation experiment was carried out with controlled moisture and temperature; nutrient input and N mineralization were evaluated at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 d intervals using three pellet types with different proportions of ash, sludge, and gypsum (as a binder) and applied at four doses equivalent to 0, 10, 20, and 40 Mg ha -1 . Results indicated that the Alfisol that was amended with pelletized residues increased P Olsen and exchangeable K and Ca contents, as well as soil pH (p < 0.05) in direct response to the applied doses. Organic matter decreased during incubation at all the doses and pellet types (p < 0.05); however, N mineralization did not show a clear pattern during incubation. Nitrogen mineralization potential (N 0 ) was different depending on pellet types and application rates; Pellet 2 (10% sludge) exhibited the highest N 0 values, while Pellet 3 (20% sludge) had lower N 0 than the control. Pulp and paper mill waste can be used to amend degraded soils by creating sustainable use through pelletizing because it facilitates transport and can evenly distribute sludge and ash on soils in a single application.

“…Similar corn silage yields were observed with either digested manure or undigested manure. However, crop nitrogen utilization from the organic fertilizers was only 70% as efficient as crops using mineral nitrate fertilizers (Gagnon et al, 2012). Loria et al (2007) showed that digested and raw swine manure were not significantly different as a source of nitrogen for growing corn.…”

Beyond land application: Emerging technologies for the treatment and reuse of anaerobically digested agricultural and food waste

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Effective treatment and reuse of the massive quantities of agricultural and food wastes generated daily has the potential to improve the sustainability of food production systems. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is used throughout the world as a waste treatment process to convert organic waste into two main products: biogas and nutrient-rich digestate, called AD effluent. Biogas can be used as a source of renewable energy or transportation fuels, while AD effluent is traditionally applied to land as a soil amendment. However, there are economic and environmental concerns that limit widespread land application, which may lead to underutilization of AD for the treatment of agricultural and food wastes. To combat these constraints, existing and novel methods have emerged to treat or reuse AD effluent. The objective of this review is to analyze several emerging methods used for efficient treatment and reuse of AD effluent. Overall, the application of emerging technologies is limited by AD effluent composition, especially the total solid content. Some technologies, such as composting, use the solid fraction of AD effluent, while most other technologies, such as algae culture and struvite crystallization, use the liquid fraction. Therefore, dewatering of AD effluent, reuse of the liquid and solid fractions, and land application could all be combined to sustainably manage the large quantities of AD effluent produced. Issues such as pathogen regrowth and prevalence of emerging organic micro-pollutants are also discussed.

Soil acidification is an important cause of declining crop yields in many countries, including Canada and the United States. Meanwhile, alkaline by-products from forest resources are widely available but underused in agriculture despite their expected benefits on soil pH and fertility. The aim of this study was to determine the effects, throughout a 40-wk laboratory incubation, of six different forest-derived liming materials on soil pH and Mehlich-3-extractable major nutrients in two acidic soils. Lime mud, two wood ashes (papermill biosolids and wood bark), two biochars (maple and pine), and a de-inking paper sludge (DPS) were applied at calcium carbonate equivalence-based rates, according to the amount of lime required to achieve a target pH of 6.5 on each soil. A calcitic lime (CL) was used as a reference. All forest-derived materials except pine biochar were equally effective as CL in increasing the pH of the two acidic soils after 40 wk of incubation. Lime mud quickly raised the pH after soil incorporation, and then the pH progressively declined. By contrast, DPS upon decomposition gradually increased soil pH over time. In terms of liming value based on dry mass of each material, lime mud was needed at the lowest amount (0.8 CL unit) to increase pH to the target value. Wood ash, particularly from wood combustion, was a significant direct source of P, K, and Mg, whereas maple biochar supplied large amounts of available K and Mg. This study demonstrated that forest-derived alkaline by-products can efficiently remediate soil acidity and improve soil fertility. 1 INTRODUCTION Soil acidification is a major concern responsible for degradation of agricultural land in many countries, including Canada and the United States.
