Soil improvers and growing media - Overview of methods for the determination of PAH16, macroscopic impurities above 2mm, the temperature-time profiles, the oxygen uptake rate, the self-heating factor and the residual biogas potential in compost and digestate when used in fertilizing products
Abstract
This document is applicable to the component materials compost, fresh crop digestate or digestate other than fresh crop digestate when used as components of fertilizing products. The specific properties of these components shall be analysed. It provides an overview of relevant methods for the determination of specific properties of compost and solid digestate when used in fertilizing products, including: - the determination of the PAH16 content; - macroscopic impurities; - the determination of temperature-time profiles during composting and digestion; - oxygen uptake rate; - self-heating factor; - the determination of the residual biogas potential in digestate.
