Nitrogen mineralization in an Alfisol amended with thermoelectrical industry by-products

ABSTRACT In thermoelectric industry, synthetic gypsum and coal ash are generated as industrial by-products. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different mixtures of synthetic gypsum and coal ash on N mineralization in an Alfisol. Nitrogen mineralization was evaluated by soil in...
