18. Long-term application of digestate and biofuel ash to arable soil : effects on the solubility of Cd, Al and trace metals as evidenced by simulated scenarios
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : The importance of nutrient recycling could not be emphasized enough in to-day’s society. Reduction of waste as well as recycling of nutrients would be the result if ash and biogas digestate could be used as fertilizer. However, the solubility of Cd, Al and micronutrients might be affected in a different way than by standard fertilizers. READ MORE
