Beneficial utilization of industrial byproducts such as papermill biosolids (PB) provides a unique opportunity to reduce the overall production cost and increase environmental sustainability. Pelletization of a byproduct enhances its marketability by improving the transportation and application. This greenhouse study was conducted to gain a better understanding of the properties and effects of, a recently developed pelletized papermill biosolids (PPB), on corn (Zea mays L.) and soil. Urea and PPB were each applied at four total N rates equivalent to 45, 90, 135, and 180 kg•ha −1 and an additional control treatments of 0 was also included. The PPB contained 379 and 14 g•kg −1 total N and C and its C:N ratio was 27. Nitrogen treatment significantly (P < 0.0001) influenced corn dry biomass, N concentration, and N uptake. Corn dry biomass ranged 26.9-41.1 g•plant −1 where application of 180 kg•ha −1 of PPB-N produced the smallest plant biomass. Numerically the dry biomass of corn that did not receive any N, corn fertilized with any PPB, and corn fertilized with any urea was 38.3, 26.9-41.1 and 38.1-40.92 g•plant −1 respectively. Nitrogen concentration in corn plants ranged 6.2-11.5 g•kg −1. Nitrogen concentration in corn that did not receive any urea or corn that received urea was 8.7-11.5 g•kg −1 and was significantly more than corn treated with any PPB. Total N uptake (removed from soil) by the corn plant was 166-455 mg•plant −1. Total N uptake by corn that did not receive any N, corn fertilized with any PPB, and corn fertilized with any urea were 327, 166-278, and 379-455 mg•plant −1 respectively. The data suggest that the high C/N ratio (27.2) of PPB resulted in immobilization of PPB-N. Thus the next step will be to research the optimal rates of inorganic N that should be incorporated into this PPB to reduce its C:N to make it an effective high organic matter content N fertilizer. Nitrogen treatment significantly (P < 0.0001) influenced soil organic matter (SOM) which ranged 18.5-19.7 g•kg −1. The SOM of the treatments How to cite this paper: Mozaffari, M. and Hays, H.C.

“…The DM yield with DPB was nearly half that of the CTL treatment, and these low silage corn DM yields were most likely due to the net soil N immobilization that can occur in the first 6 to 8 wk following application (Perron, 2010). Therefore, supplementary N fertilizer would be required to support plant growth on the year DPB is applied (Simard et al, 1998; Camberato et al, 2006; Price et al, 2009).…”

Biosolids from Treated Swine Manure and Papermill Residues Affect Corn Fertilizer Value

et al. 2012

Biosolids derived from treatment of animal manure or industrial effl uents can be used on farms, but their fertilizer value must be assessed. A 3-yr fi eld study was conducted on a clay soil in Quebec, Canada, to evaluate the eff ect of several biosolids on silage corn dry matter (DM) yield; N-use effi ciency; and soil N, P, Cu, and Zn availability. Raw liquid swine (Sus scrofa) manure (LSM), biosolids from four swine manure treatments (aerobic digestion [AER], anaerobic digestion [DIG], fi ltration [FIL], anaerobic digestion followed by chemical fl occulation [DIG+FLO]), combined papermill biosolids (CPB), de-inking paper biosolids (DPB), and mineral N fertilizer (MIN) were applied before corn planting at a targeted rate of 150 kg total N ha -1 . Th e DIG and DIG+FLO biosolids resulted in silage corn DM yield, N accumulation, and early season soil N availability comparable to LSM with an N-use effi ciency about 70% of that for MIN. Th e AER biosolid resulted in low DM yield with an N-use effi ciency only 10% of that for MIN; FIL and CPB had an N-use effi ciency almost 40% of that for MIN, whereas DPB caused a decline in DM yield compared to a no-N control. Th e LSM-derived biosolids increased availability of soil P (0.34 kg kg -1 excess P) and, to some extent, Cu and Zn. Th e CPB and DPB biosolids had little impact on soil P, but DPB markedly increased Zn availability. Manure-derived biosolids and CPB were satisfactory N sources for silage corn while manure-derived biosolids caused soil P enrichment when applied based on crop N requirement.

“…For example, the nutrient value of paper-mill sludge (Madejo´n et al, 2003;Price et al, 2009) and other industrial biowastes resulting from food and beverage production and processing are well defined, and guidelines for the use of these byproducts in agriculture as fertilizers have already been developed (Rigby and Smith, 2014). By comparison, information regarding the value of BSDS as a potential fertilizer is limited, despite the strategic importance of recycling BSDS to improve agricultural production.…”
