Extractability, Distribution Among Different Particle Size Fractions, and Phytotoxicity of Cu and Zn in Composts Made With the Separated Solid Fraction of Pig Slurry

The presence of elevated concentrations of heavy metals (Cu and Zn) in pig slurry and, particularly, in the solid fraction obtained after solid-liquid separation is a limiting factor for their use in agricultural soils. These metals are further concentrated if compost is produced from solid pig slur...
