Recovery of microelements from municipal sewage sludge by reed canary grass and giant miscanthus
The aim of the study was to evaluate the content, uptake, and utilization of Al, Mn, Fe, Co, and Mo from municipal sewage sludge by the reed canary grass (RCG) and the giant miscanthus (MG). The impact of sewage sludge on the mass ratios between microelements contained in the plant biomass was analyzed as well. The long-term field experiment consisted in application of four levels of fertilization with sewage sludge: 10, 20, 40, and 60 Mg DM·ha−1. A non-fertilized control object (0 Mg DM·ha−1) was used as well. The miscanthus biomass was characterized by higher content of Al and Mn, whereas higher levels of Fe, Co, and Mo were determined in the reed canary grass biomass. As in the case of the element content, the giant miscanthus was characterized by highest level of Al and Mn uptake, while the highest uptake of Fe, Co, and Mo was exhibited by the reed canary grass. In the group of the analyzed microelements, the giant miscanthus showed the highest the recovery of Mo (47%) followed by Mn (39%), Fe (35%), and Co (15%), and the lowest uptake was determined in the case of Al (5%). In addition to the use of their biomass for the production of renewable energy, energy crops (reed canary grass, giant miscanthus) can be used to recover microelements from municipal sewage sludge. Energy crop biomass can therefore be a potential source of microelements in animal feed. Attention was paid to the mass ratios of Fe:Mn, Fe:Al, Fe:Co, Fe:Mo, Mn:Al, Mn:Co, Mn:Mo, and Co:Mo in the biomass yield of the species used.
