Systematic Review of Dairy Processing Sludge and Secondary STRUBIAS Products Used in Agriculture

Worldwide dairy processing plants produce high volumes of dairy processing sludge (DPS), which can be converted into secondary derivatives such as struvite, biochar and ash (collectively termed STRUBIAS). All of these products have high fertilizer equivalent values (FEV), but future certification as...
