    Peat, zeolite and basalt as adsorbents of ammoniacal nitrogen during manure decomposition

    The effectiveness of sphagnum peat, zeolite (clinoptilonite) and basalt in reducing ammonia losses during aerobic manure decomposition was determined in an incubation experiment. Peat placed in the spent air-s...
