| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of this research is to respond to the provisions of the Green Course by selecting and applying methods and technologies for processing of various non-traditional raw materials, by-products of agricultural, food industries and their production waste. Various kinds of organic waste, obtained from natural sources (e.g. animal and bird droppings, insect remains (frass), plant residues, biogas residues and agricultural by-products) can be used as alternative raw materials [1]. Insect farming waste (frass) is potentially valuable as a bioactive resource for plant nutrients [2]. The possibility of creating fertilizing products from the waste generated during the cultivation of Mealworm was analyzed. Several different batches of frass (DF1, DF2) from UAB "Divaks" were evaluated for their suitability for fertilizer production, i.e. chemical and instrumental analysis. The concentration of macro elements and microelements in the waste was determined, and the thermal stability of the raw material was analyzed. Crystallographic studies of the Frass samples were carried out using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) method, the XRD curve of the DF1 sample is presented in Figure 1. [...]. |
