英文摘要
Soil pollution from mining activity can lead to the depletion of soil nutrients and cause accelerated soil acidification. For over a century, the most common practice of reducing soil acidity involved the use of dolomitic lime. One alternative treatment to liming is the use of wood ash, a natural by-product that can not only increase soil pH but also reduce the need to apply artificial fertilizers. However, wood-ash field application has many challenges due to its powdery form; the fine particle of the ash makes it volatile and easily carried away by wind and runoff, varying particle sizes creates challenges to uniform application, and fine particles can be inhaled and cause health issues. Pelletec Canada (Pelletec herein), a forest industry company located in New Liskeard, Ontario, is exploring pelletizing or granulating wood ash as a solution, but studies are limited on the agglomeration of a hydrophobic powder such as wood ash. Therefore, the objective of the new partnership between Collège Boréal and Pelletec is to conduct a feasibility study on the agglomeration of wood ash into granules or pellets for soil application purposes. The success of the study will lead to a new type of soil rehabilitation amendment and provide Pelletec with a new product. Working under the supervision of a Collège Boréal professor, Forestry technology students participating in the project will gain new knowledge of soil remediation, soil characterization, and pelletizing and granulating techniques through an experiential applied research and learning setting.#(cr)#(lf)La pollution du sol due à l'activité minière peut entraîner l'épuisement des éléments nutritifs du sol et provoquer une acidification accélérée du sol. Pendant plus d'un siècle, la pratique la plus courante pour réduire l'acidité des sols consistait à utiliser de la chaux dolomitique. Un traitement alternatif au chaulage est l'utilisation de cendres de bois, un sous-produit naturel qui peut non seulement augmenter le pH du sol mais aussi réduire l'application d'engrais artificiels. Cependant, l'application de la cendre de bois sur le terrain présente de nombreux défis en raison de sa forme pulvérulente ; les fines particules de la cendre la rendent volatile et facilement emportée par le vent et le ruissellement, la variation de la taille des particules rend difficile une application uniforme, et les fines particules peuvent être inhalées et causer des problèmes de santé. Pelletec Canada (Pelletec), une entreprise de l'industrie forestière située à New Liskeard, en Ontario, explore la mise en boulettes ou la granulation de la cendre de bois comme solution, mais les études sont limitées sur l'agglomération d'une poudre hydrophobe comme la cendre de bois. Par conséquent, l'objectif du nouveau partenariat entre le Collège Boréal et Pelletec est de mener une étude de faisabilité sur l'agglomération de la cendre de bois en granules ou en boulettes à des fins d'application d'amélioration des sols. Le succès de l'étude mènera à un nouveau type d'amendement pour la réhabilitation des sols et fournira à Pelletec un nouveau produit. Travaillant sous la supervision d'un professeur du Collège Boréal, les étudiants en technologie forestière participant au projet acquerront de nouvelles connaissances sur la réhabilitation des sols, la caractérisation des sols et les techniques de granulation et de pelletisation dans un contexte de recherche appliquée et d'apprentissage par l'expérience.
