Phosphorus distribution in untreated and composted solid fractions from slurry separation
Received for publication May 7, 2009. The distribution of phosphorus (P) (water-soluble inorganic P [Pi], acid-soluble Pi, and residual P) was determined in 40 samples of solids from solid–liquid separated slurry. These were collected from separation plants using different technologies, separating by simple mechanical means, by flocculation as pre-treatment before mechanical separation or by ...

Pathogen destruction and solids decomposition in composting latrines: study of fundamental mechanisms and user operation in rural Panama
The relationship between temperature, high pH, desiccation, decomposition, pathogen destruction, and user operation in active double vault urine diverting (DVUD) composting latrines located in the Bocas del Toro region of Panama was assessed. Latrine samples were analyzed for temperature, pH, % moisture, carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio, and presence of specific pathogens. Surveys and visual ...

Formation and emissions of ammonia and greenhouse gases from stored and composted solid animal manure
Beside other branches of industry, agriculture is an important source of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and the most important source of ammonia (NH3). In spite of several investigations concerning ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions during storage and composting of liquid and solid animal manure, the real extent of these emissions is still unknown. This is mainly because of the ...
