Abstract
The paper describes a new, proprietary method of HS extraction from digested sewage sludge. HS was extracted using the processes of dissolving organic substances and precipitating mineral micropollutants. The obtained substances were tested by determining their IR spectrum, elemental composition, and content of micropollutants and comparing them with HS obtained using the classical method. Using Phytotestkit, it was shown that HSs isolated from digested sewage sludge contain relatively large amounts of the nutrients necessary for plants (including N and P) and are a good component of a biostimulating substance. The obtained HS contains more ammonium and phosphorus ions. During extraction, inorganic impurities (including heavy metals) are reduced, and the humic product does not contain pathogens, parasites, and their spores. The method is simple, economically justified, and can be used on an industrial scale.
