  1. 21. Spatial analysis of arsenic and fluoride mobilization in groundwater around Mount Meru, northern Tanzania

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Henriette Nishimwe; [2023]
    Keywords : Arsenic; Fluoride; Groundwater; Mobilization; Mount Meru; Geochemical and Spatial Modelling; Arsenic; Fluoride; Groundwater; Mobilization; Mount Meru; Geochemical and Spatial Modelling;

    Abstract : In Tanzania, approximately 76% of the drinking water supplies is dependent on groundwater sources. However, the groundwater in north Tanzania is susceptible to contamination by arsenic and fluoride. This study examines the spatial analysis of arsenic and fluoride mobilization in groundwater around Mount Meru, located in northern Tanzania. READ MORE

  3. 22. Separation and acidification of digested animal manure : properties of the future organic fertilizers

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Marie Björs; [2023]
    Keywords : Digestate; Eutrophication; Farmers’ survey; Plasma activation; Screw press;

    Abstract : Agricultural areas with a high animal density contribute to eutrophication in waterbodies and seas worldwide due to accumulation of nutrients around animal farms. Animal manure is heavy and bulky, thus unpractical to transport long distances and new techniques have been developed to refine animal manure and make it easier to transport. READ MORE

  4. 23. Biochar from separated digestate and pig manure as soil amendment

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Lovisa Nissen; [2022]
    Keywords : separation; screw press; incubation study; CO2 emission; N mineralization;

    Abstract : The situation in and around the Baltic Sea, with large areas with hypoxia in the sea and areas in the watershed with a high concentration of animal farms, has led to a need to increase the nutrient recycling of animal manure. High levels of phosphorus (P) in the soil lead to leaching, and by reducing the P-level in organic fertilizers, this leaching can be reduced. READ MORE

  5. 24. Synergies of nutrient fractions for fertilization in agriculture

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Linda Adjei; [2022]
    Keywords : Phosphorus; Wastewater; Polonite; molybdenum blue spectrophotometry; Fertilizer; Sunflower; Plant growth;

    Abstract : A few countries are controlling the worlds phosphate reserves and this raw material is depleting at a faster rate. Most of the mined phosphate rock comes from Morocco and the Russia area which has unstable security. Studies shows that about 40% of potash export and 28% of nitrogen and phosphorus (P) fertilizer products comes from the Russia area. READ MORE

  6. 25. The role of bed sediments for fractionation of phosphorus in remediated ditches in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Emma Ryding; [2022]
    Keywords : Phosphorus fractionation; agricultural stream; sediment; two-stage ditch; eutrophication;

    Abstract : Sweden’s environmental quality objectives “A varied agricultural landscape” and “Zero eutrophication”, aims to ensure food production while reducing negative impact from fertilizers on the environment. The input ceilings of nutrient concentrations in the Baltic Sea are still critical. READ MORE
