COMPARATIVE RESEARCH ON WOOL PELLETS REGARDING SOME PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR THEIR USE IN AGRICULTURE

Description
Summary:At EU level, the situation of wool waste is regulated by EC Regulation 1069 (2009) and EU Regulation 142 (2011) which define wool as an animal by-product that has to be landfilled as a category 3 solid waste which means it is classified as low risk. Since it is impossible to avoid generating wool waste, reuse and recycling remain the best solutions for managing this keratinous waste. In agriculture, both raw wool and in different forms - pellets or hydrolysate from wool - can be used as organic fertiliser. Some physico-chemical properties of wool pellets have been studied in comparison, such as: water absorption and bulk density
