Abstract

The effect of thermomechanically treated granular urban sewage sludge on the respiratory activity of recultivated oil-contaminated gray forest medium loamy soil was studied in laboratory conditions. The main characteristics of granular sewage sludge, information on the effect of the content of petroleum products on the rate of basal and substrate-induced respiration, the values of the microbial respiration coefficient of soil samples incubated with or without granulate are presented. Data on the effect of plant cultivation on the efficiency of pollutant destruction and the biochemical activity of the soil containing granulate sewage sludge are presented. It has been established that the introduction of granular sediment at the rate of 10 t/ha into soils containing 2.7, 6.1, 14.4 and 19.7 g/kg of petroleum products leads to the intensification of oxidative processes, reduces the toxic effect, and increases the resistance of soil microbiocenosis to pollutants. In the presence of granulate at a concentration of oil products of 6.1–19.7 g/kg, the efficiency of their destruction is 1.7–2.5 times higher than without it, which confirms the promise of using sewage sludge for the recultivation of oil-contaminated soils.
