Platinum group metal (PGM) refining processes produce large quantities of wastewater, which is contaminated with the compounds that make up the solvents/extractants mixtures used in the process. These compounds often include solvesso, β-hydroxyxime, amines, amides and methyl isobutyl ketone. A proces...
The decomposition of organic thoughts into a digital residue that, much like traditional compost (or manure, for that matter), may contain some trace nutrients… or may just smell bad.
15. Compost Seriously, whether you're an apartment dweller with a fire escape farm or a rural farmer, you need to be making and using the stuff. Compost adds nutrients, improves soil structure, increases moisture retention and increases the number of beneficial microbes in your soil. And that...
The Soil:Organic Farming starts with healthy soil. The soil is seen as a living system and not simply a growing medium for plants. Compost, efficient nutrient recycling, frequent crop rotations and cover crops replace synthetic fertilizers to keep the soil healthy and productive. In Peru, cotton...
In general, they found lower values of organic carbon, macro-aggregate stability, bulk density, and saturated hydraulic conductivity in the tilled systems compared with those in the grazed ones. K and N soil concentrations were at an adequate level in the olive systems but P was too low. ...

Australia’s winegrowers face a combination very old soils (no recent glaciation) and arid conditions coupled with the risk of creating subsoils which manifest salinity or sodicity when irrigation is used long-term. This potential scenario would make me reach for my compost shovel, compost being ...
Over the past few decades, the need to reduce pollutant emissions produced by conventional systems of organic waste disposal has promoted the development of technologies that convert organic waste into bioenergy and biomaterials. In the near future, this new approach in waste management, in addition ...
