Scientific novelty
The innovative product consists of organomineral soil mixtures based on various industrial wastes: municipal sewage sludge incineration ash, lignin sludge, phosphogypsum, and brown coal fines.
Advantages
Artificial technogenic soils are multi-component mixtures that ensure normal plant growth and development. The same processes occur in artificial soils as in natural soils, allowing them to successfully replace the soils of large cities during landscaping processes. An integrated approach to developing this innovative product addresses the following tasks: beneficial recycling of production and consumption waste; production of Group II fertilizers for subsequent use in land reclamation or urban landscaping; cleaning contaminated soils of heavy metals through phytoremediation; and the economically and environmentally sound restoration of soil productivity in reclaimed areas and urban zones requiring improvement.
Commercial implementation
The proposed compositions are most promising as Group II fertilizers, making the product suitable for use by both municipal utilities and private enterprises requiring beneficial components for the reclamation of disturbed lands. Secondary raw materials in Russia can be successfully utilized in almost all industrial sectors, and demand is growing. According to statistical data, the rate of beneficial waste utilization has increased by more than 20% over the last 10 years.
