The Use of Compost in Reclamation Activities
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The composting process is a proven method of stabilizing organically-based substrates into high quality organic matter sources which are suitable for horticultural, turf and agricultural applications. Composting has also become a popular waste treatment process, used by many nations around the world, to transform society’s by-products into valuable products that can actually benefit society. As such, research has focused on identifying a variety of applications for composted products (table1), as well as benefits related to its end use (table 2).

The progressive development of civilization and intensive industrialization has contributed to the global pollution of the natural environment by heavy metals, especially the soil. Degraded soils generally contain less organic matter, and thus, their homeostasis is more often disturbed, which in turn manifests in changes in biological and physicochemical properties of the soil. Therefore, new p...

متن کاملReclamation of high-elevation, acidic mine waste with organic amendments and topsoil.
The Summitville Mine was a high-elevation (3500 m) gold mine in southwestern Colorado. The mine was abandoned in 1992, leaving approximately 200 ha of disturbance comprised partially of an open pit, a cyanide heap leach pad, and two large waste rock piles. Reclamation of these mine facilities is challenging due to extreme climatic conditions in conjunction with high acid-production potential an...
