As an industry representative, Liming Resources dedicates to reusing all accessible sources to protect the urban environment. Liming Resources officially launched the research on waste and nutrients in July 2019. Based on the systematic analysis of the nutrient composition, the researchers analyzed pollution characteristics of the biogas residue from the anaerobic fermentation of food waste in the region and the ability of partial biogas residue to be carbonized and used as a biochar base fertilizer. The agricultural safety of biogas residue and the effect of biochar and carbon-based fertilizer on improving the fertility of farmland soil were studied.
This collaborative project with Shanghai Liming Resources Recovery Co. Ltd focuses on recycling methods of constructive and domestic waste in Shanghai. Eventually, with the research data and documentaries of the research process, these dumped materials are reformed and reconstructed into an interesting, monumental, and natural lab for future experimentation on reproducing fertilizers from the residue of incinerated domestic waste.
