In the acidogenic phase, the wastewater was stabilized with NaOH (ASH) and with limestone (ASL). After that, both stabilized effluents were treated by a methanogenic reactor. Then, the effluent of the methanogenic reactor was used as fertilizer on maize in the initial growth stage (30 days), cultivated in pots in a greenhouse. The treatments were T1: control without urea addition (only N from soil); T2: NPK (2.2 g of urea with 45% of N); T3: ASH (84 mL. kg(soil)(-1)); T4: ASL (102 mL. kg(soil)(-1)); T5: double dose ASH (168 mL. kg(soil)(-1)) and T6: double dose ASL (204 mL. kg(soil)(-1)). Each treatment was composed by 4 plants/pot in five repetitions. It was observed that all the treatments with stabilized wastewater had favorable effect to the soil pH (> than 7.5) and basis saturation (V%) in the soil around to 90%. The performances of nitrogen absorption by the maize plants were 64, 54, 80 and 78% for T3, T4, T5 and T6, respectively.55-62engReusemanipueira, anaerobic digestion, hydroxide sodiumdolomitic limestoneArtigoS1516-89132010000100007WOS:000275325800007Acesso abertoS1516-89132010000100007-en.pdf
