Processing Waste From Logging and Wood Processing Enterprises Into a Non-Conventional Reclamation Substrate Using Environmentally Friendly Technology

Abstract

In Russia, in the field of rapidly and dynamically developing woodworking industry, the issue of recycling waste from logging and woodworking enterprises is becoming relevant. The article reflects information about a new devel-oped technology for processing waste from logging and woodworking enterprises. The developers have proposed an environmentally friendly technology for processing organic waste into a product that has an effective reclamation effect and increases the natural potential of soils. The technology proposed by the authors is based on the unique technical capabilities of the developed installation - a highly efficient mill that grinds down to nano-sized fineness, and a highly efficient mixer that makes it possible to obtain homogeneous mixtures of various materials and different fineness. The unconventional substrate obtained in this way, due to the scientifically grounded composition and ratios of the composite components of organic waste, has effective reclamation properties that increase the soil potential, as well as restoring the fertility of the humus horizon. The use of an unconventional ameliorative substrate in nurseries increased the survival rate and growth rates of Scots pine seedlings both in the open field and in the greenhouse. Thus, the installation proposed by the authors in one technological operation enables the processing of waste from logging and woodworking enterprises and ultimately obtain a product that helps to increase soil potential of degraded lands
