Composite Biochar with Municipal Sewage Sludge Compost—A New Approach to Phytostabilization of PTE Industrially Contaminated Soils

The presence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils can upset the natural balance and increase risk PTE incorporation into food chain. use composite biochar with municipal sewage sludge compost (MSSC/C) be an effective way both managing waste, such as sludge, providing additive-supporting phytostabilization processes. effectiveness D. glomerata MSSC/C technique assisted industrially contaminated was determined under pot experiment conditions. contents soil were using spectrophotometric method. addition to PTE-contaminated contributed 18% plant biomass increased pH by 1.67 units, concentration being higher roots than above-ground parts glomerata. had strongest effect on reduction Cd, Cr, Ni following completion experiment. current study confirmed aiding processes soils.
