This study was conducted to compare how the nutrients and organic matter content in household kitchen wastes sewage sludge transform 120-days vermicomposting experiment. The concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorous potassium increased during dry composts decreased value pH case for vermicompost it remained almost unchanged. amounts half initial masses, but remarkably both sawdust mixtures as a result vermicomposting. Vermicompost made from contained 3.3% total 0.7% 5.8% potassium. In...
The application of sewage sludge compost as a fertilizer can be source the contamination food plants by pharmaceutical products. In this study uptake ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, sulfadimethoxine and sulfamethoxazole from soil into potato was demonstrated. concentrations studied pharmaceuticals were considerable magnitude in plant samples, if compared to their soil.
Sewage sludge compost can be a source of nutrients for plants and contamination by pharmaceutical products. In this study the presence some widely used pharmaceuticals in sewage its –namely ciprofloxacin C17H18FN3O3, ofloxacin C18H20FN3O4, norfloxacin C16H18FN3O3, sulfadimethoxine C12H14N4O4S sulfamethoxazole C10H11N3O3S – was shown. several samples their concentrations exceeded relevant trigger values manure. The highest ciprofloxacin, ready commercialization sufficiently threshold...
A simultaneous method for quantitative determination of traces fluoroquinolones (FQs) and sulfonamides (SAs) in edible plants fertilized with sewage sludge was developed. The compounds were extracted from the by rapid simple liquid extraction followed extracts clean-up using solid phase extraction. eluent additive 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol used chromatographic detection to achieve separation structurally similar antimicrobials like ciprofloxacin norfloxacin. Identification...
