Abstract Potentially toxic elements (PTE’s) are of great concern in steel mill wastes. Therefore, in other to use them as potential fertilizers in soil, risk assessments are needed. Three steel mill wastes were tested as possible amendments for soils at six different doses (0; 0,5; 1; 2; 4; 8; 16 t ha-1): Phosphate mud (PM), Metallurgical press residue (MPR) and Filter press mud (FPM) during rice cultivation in a pot experiment in a Haplic Gleisol. Analysis on rice tissues, including roots, shoots, husk and grains were conducted and contents of Cu, Cd, Ni, Zn, Mn and Pb were assessed. Translocation and bioaccumulation factors were calculated for each element. In general, PTE’s are more accumulated in roots and greater contents of Zn and Mn were found, while the lowest ones were found for Pb, probably due to its lack of functional roles during plants development. Higher translocation was observed for Mn, which is associated to the redox conditions of rice cultivation and the high mobility of this element under this condition. Application of steel mill wastes can increase PTE’s bioavailability and translocation factors, especially PM, but all of the wastes reveal a high hazard index.

Muriate Of Potash

Study of the nutritional requirements of sugar cane on a Jamaican estate necessitated simultaneous experimentation with five manurial factors: sulphate of ammonia, superphosphate, muriate of potash, bagasse, and filter press mud. By adopting a one-third replication of a 35 factorial scheme, each factor could be tested at single and double levels for comparison with the absence of the factor.The structure and confounding system of the design adopted have been described and the method of computing the analysis of variance has been explained. Fractional replication introduces special problems of interpretation, and this experiment illustrates how they may be resolved. Each fertilizer clearly benefited the crop, and several interactions appeared; some ambiguity of meaning is an inevitable concomitant of fractional replication, so that care was needed in order to assign effects to the right causes. The most clearly marked effects were:(i) Without phosphate, nitrogen failed to produce any response; where phosphatic manuring was adequate the crop responded well to nitrogen.(ii) Superphosphate and filter press mud were practically interchangeable as sources of phosphate.(iii) Bagasse appears to act as a source of potash; the interaction of responses is not very clearly established, but little extra response to artificial potash occurred when bagasse was given.(iv) No evidence was obtained that the double level of any fertilizer was superior to the single.There was also a suggestion of a reduced superphosphate response in the presence of bagasse.If a recommendation on manuring were to be based on this experiment, it would be that a maximum of 3 cwt. sulphate of ammonia per acre be used with either 4 cwt. 18% superphosphate and 1 cwt. muriate of potash per acre or 10 tons filter press mud and 20 tons bagasse per acre. In reality, of course, no attempt ought to be made to determine a general manurial policy from results of a single year of experimentation on plant cane at one place.The experiment should be regarded rather as typical of what can be done than as a complete investigation of manurial needs.

The Impact

Filter press mud (FPM) is a waste product of the sugar manufacturing industry that is primarily composed of soil, finely ground sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) stalks, and lime. It is widely used as a soil amendment wherever sugarcane is produced. This study sought to investigate the impact of fertilization with potassium nitrate on the growth of vinca (Cataranthus roseus L.) being grown in mixtures of FPM and vermiculite. The purpose of the study was to investigate the nutrient-supplying ability of the FPM-based growing medium. A completely randomized factorial design was installed into 18-count landscape trays, with each cell consisting of a different growing medium by fertilization treatment. While the bulk density of FPM-based growing media tended to be higher than FafardTM 2, plant growth was not stunted. Electrical conductivity and pH were not deleterious to the plants in any of the FPM treatments. Fertilization increased plant growth and development in all treatments in comparison to non-fertilized controls. The 1:1 FPM and vermiculite mixture by volume had the greatest increase in growth from fertilization while the least change in growth from fertilization occurred with the 100 percent FPM treatment. When using FPM as a growing medium, it appears that the fertilization practices might be decreased to take advantage of the nutrients released by the growing medium.

This study was conducted in Wiringpalenna village, Tempe sub-district of Wajo district, with the aim to determine the effect of the type of organic matter on the growth and production of pakchoy plants. The study was arranged based on a Randomized Block Design with five treatments namely: without organic matter, chicken manure, Blotong (Filter press mud), bokashi common water hyacinth, bokashi rice straw. The results showed that from variables tested; plant height, the number of leaves, the width of leaves, fresh weight of plants, fresh weight of plants per plot, and fresh weight per hectare, treatment with bokashi common water hyacinth obtained the best result

Agroindustrial Wastes

Traditionally, biochar is generally proposed to substitute Canadian Sphagnum peat moss. Sugarcane bagasse, filter press mud and sugarcane bagasse ash were mixed in different ratios and proposed as an alternative to substitute commercial Sphagnum peat moss (SPM) for the soilless cultivation of tomato (S. lycopersicum Linnaeus). The choice of the agroindustrial waste ratio was performed from physical-chemical sample characterization. During vegetable production, an adequate ratio was evaluated based on plant height, substrate pH, number of leaves, yield, and fruit size. The addition of essential macro- and micro-nutrients was performed manually. The results show that as-received materials contain different minerals with a structure that corresponds to the quartz, cristobalite, and feldspar phases. A morphology composed of lamellate structures was observed for sugarcane bagasse, whereas the filter press mud and the sugarcane bagasse ash presented compact agglomerates with a surface area of 1.60, 3.78, and 1.07 m2 g−1, respectively. The properties of each component promote the water adsorption, retention and releasing capacity. Important differences were observed as the quantity of filter press mud increased, but also it is required an amount of sugarcane bagasse above of 18 wt% to reach a superior performance. This work demonstrated that, in adequate quantities, agroindustrial wastes can be used as a soilless substrate for growing tomatoes in greenhouse, reducing their disposal problems.
