Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Hannes Herzel"
- Hannes Herzel's research focuses on sustainable agricultural practices, particularly the utilization of waste materials such as sugarcane bagasse ash, sewage sludge ash, and municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash as alternative fertilizers to enhance soil fertility and promote circular economy principles.
- His studies demonstrate that ashes from various sources can significantly influence the availability of phosphorus and other nutrients in soils, ultimately offering effective recycling strategies to reduce reliance on non-renewable phosphorus fertilizers.
- Herzel's work also involves advanced analytical techniques, such as diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, to better understand nutrient speciation and the environmental impact of heavy metals like mercury and selenium in fertilization processes.
