Waste Management

The faculty in Waste Management conducts research on land application of industrial and animal wastes ("by-products"). Industrial by-products studied include coal combustion wastes (fly ash, gypsum), pulp and paper mill wastes, and sewage sludge. Animal wastes include different poultry manures, which are by-products of the large poultry industry in Georgia. Research objectives aim at understanding the chemistry of nutrients, trace metals and organic contaminants in these by-products, and preventing soil/water/crop contamination from land application. Research in Waste Management is carried out at several locations around the state.
