Waste bone, a by-product originating from animal husbandry and food industry, primarily
ends up in landfills and may cause soil pollution if no treatment method is applied. In this …

Bone char (BC) is a promising P-recycling fertilizer but with rather low P-solubility, which can
be increased by modifying the BC surface with elemental sulfur (BCplus), but effects on the …

The agronomic value of fertilizer phosphorus (P) in the soil is determined by how it is
incorporated and released during aggregate formation and breakdown. These processes …

Soil quality, in contrast to air or water, exhibits a heightened level of heterogeneity and
necessitates closer examination due to its impact on the well-being of flora, fauna, and …

Ever since phosphorus (P) was declared a critical raw material by the European Union (EU)
in 2016, the ongoing quest for securing sustainable resources of P has been growing …

Recycling of phosphorus (P) from slaughterhouse waste, production of bone char (BC) and
its use as fertilizer is a promising approach to close nutrient cycles but the fertilizer value of …
