Inter-relationships between biodepurated wastewaters on various soils
1999
Tekin, S.
The interrelations between the wastewater treated in a biodepurating systems and four different soils were investigated. Soils were packed in columns with a diameter of about 18 cm and a height of 120 cm, and an amount of about 70 mm of wastewater was daily added over one month. Results showed that wastewater had a leaching action on solution of the soils and on their organic matter content; conversely, soils impacted EC, N and Na content in drained water. Some simple empirical models were elaborated based on soil field capacity bulk density and soil content in Ca, clay+silt and organic matter; such properties were sufficient to model the EC, N and Na in drained waters end EC, organic matter and N in leached soils.
