| Abstract |
A forced-air polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cylinder manifold chamber was used to collect ammonia (NH3) volatilized from sewage sludges applied to soil in the laboratory. A series of experiments were conducted in which the effect of NH3 volatilization of a single variable was studied. The reference control conditions were: Columbus, Ohio anaerobically digested liquid sewage sludge appled at 5 Mg ha-1 (dry wt) to a Crosby silt loam soil (ph 6.7 at 0.01 MPa initial moisture tension. The soil was bare and the sludge was unincorporated during the 24-h study period. Air temperature was 26 -/+ 2ºC. The variable conditions were: (i) (i) initial soil moisture (0, 0.01, 1.5 MPa and air-dry); (ii) time of incorporation (0.25, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after sludge application); (iii) soil pH (5.1, 6.7, 7.5); (iv) sludge type (anaerobically digested Columbus liquid sludge, partially dewatered Columbus anaerobic sludge, aerobically digested Medina liquid sludge, lime stabilized primary Ashland sludge, and composted primary Columbus sludge); (v) temperature (12.8, 18.3, 26.7°C); and (vi) vegetative cover [bare, grass sod (Poa pratensis), wheat straw (Triticum aestivum)].
