Role of Woody Biomass Ash Material in Immobilization of Cadmium, Lead and Zinc in Soil.

Nowadays, we have observed the dynamic development of bio-heating plants that use wood biomass for heating or energy purposes. The result of this process is a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions as well as in the production of biomass ash (BA). Despite the waste nature of BA, it should be carefully analyzed and assessed for various applications, including environmental ones.

Effect of Mineral-Microbial Deodorizing Preparation on the Value of Poultry Manure as Soil Amendment.

Poultry farming involves the production of poultry manures (PMs), which, if properly managed, are excellent organic soil amendments. Poultry farms generally do not have adequate arable land, and therefore, valuable fertilizer becomes a problematic waste. During the production and storage of PMs, odorous VOCs, NH, HS, and potent greenhouse gases such as CH, CO are emitted.

Mineral Materials as a Neutralizing Agent Used on Soil Contaminated with Copper.

The aim of the investigation was to evaluate the response of plants, using black mustard ( L. Koch) as a model plant, to soil contamination with copper (0, 200, 400, 600 mg Cu kg of soil), and to determine the effectiveness of the Cu immobilization with mineral neutralizing materials, such as lime, clay and zeolite. The plant yield depended on soil contamination and mineral amendments.
