Suspension Fertilizers Based on Waste Phosphates from the Production of Polyols.

Phosphorus raw materials are non-renewable, and their resources are shrinking faster and faster as a result of increased fertilizer production. This is due to the increasing population and the need to produce more food. Phosphorus, on the other hand, is one of the main nutrients of plants, without which it is impossible to conduct intensive agricultural production.

The Possibility of Using Waste Phosphates from the Production of Polyols for Fertilizing Purposes.

The limited resources of phosphorus raw materials, which are located outside of Europe, make it necessary to obtain phosphorus from the waste stream. This is reflected in the new EU Regulation 2019/1009, which concerns making fertilizing products available on the market. Its main goal is to harmonize the standards for fertilizers obtained from organic or secondary raw materials in the EU and to create new opportunities for their production and sale.

Characterization of drilling waste from shale gas exploration in Central and Eastern Poland.

The purpose of this research was to determine and evaluate the chemical properties of drilling waste from five well sites in Central and Eastern Poland. It was found that spent drilling fluids can contain high values of nickel and mercury (270 and 8.77 mg kg respectively) and can exceed the maximum permissible limits recommended by the EC regulations for safety of soils (75 mg kg for nickel and 1.
