Chemical amendment of pig slurry: control of runoff related risks due to episodic rainfall events up to 48 hours after application.
O'Flynn, C.J.; Healy, Mark G. (2013)Losses of phosphorus (P) from soil and slurry during episodic rainfall events can contribute to eutrophication of surface water. However, chemical amendments have the potential to decrease P and suspended solids (SS) losses ... -
Effect of rainfall interval on runoff losses of biosolids and meat and bone meal when applied to a grassland soil
Lucid, Joseph D.; Healy, Mark G. (Springer, 2014)This study assessed runoff losses following laboratory rainfall simulation on a grassland soil at two time intervals (48 and 216 h) after a single application of biosolids and meat and bone meal (MBM). The treatments were: ... -
Estimation of Maximum Biosolids and Meat and Bone Meal Application to a Low P Index Soil and a Method to Test for Nutrient and Metal Losses
Lucid, Joseph D.; Fenton, Owen; Healy, Mark G. (2013)The aim of this study was to develop (1) a method for the calculation of the maximum legal rate at which meat and bone meal (MBM) and biosolids should be applied to land, which took into account the soil phosphorus (P) ... -
Evaluating the structural capacity of concrete elements through in-situ instrumentation
Byrne, David; Goggins, Jamie (2013)The difficulty in predicting the long term load capacity of concrete elements is well documented. Time dependent effects such as creep and shrinkage coupled with varying loading events, particularly during construction, ... -
Impact of chemically amended pig slurry on greenhouse gas emissions, soil properties and leachate.
O'Flynn, Cornelius J.; Healy, Mark G. (2013)The effectiveness of chemical amendment of pig slurry to ameliorate phosphorus (P) losses in runoff is well studied, but research mainly has concentrated only on the runoff pathway. The aims of this study were to investigate ...
