Recycling pulp mill sludge to volcanic soil: a column leaching study

A leaching experiment was conducted to determine the influence of four successive applications of pulp mill sludge on some parameters of an Andisol. Undisturbed soil columns were treated with pulp mill sludge (0 to 30 Mg ha-1) every three months during one year with a hydraulic regime of 1200 mm per...

Recycling pulp mill sludge to volcanic soil: a column leaching study
description A leaching experiment was conducted to determine the influence of four successive applications of pulp mill sludge on some parameters of an Andisol.

Sludge added successively to Andisol increased the nitrate concentration in leachates.
