Organic component of municipal solid waste as a raw material for organomineral fertilizers

Abstract

This paper presents an assessment of the prospects for using such waste for the production of fertilizers. In conditions of a decrease in humus content in soils, which is accompanied by a similar trend in the application of organic fertilizers from 9.4 t/ha (1985) to 0.5 t/ha (2017) with a minimum rate to ensure a deficit-free humus balance of 10 t /ha and above, the search for options is relevant. Research methods: mass balance of substances during complex recycling of organic waste. It has been shown that in the case of separating a stream of easily decomposed organic waste from the general stream of household waste at the time of generation, it is possible to obtain raw materials for the production of compost. Additionally, agricultural waste, food industry waste and sewage sludge can be disposed of.
