(WO9308143-A1)      Decomposition of minerals, with integrated disposal of organic waste, involves (1) very fine comminution of a mineral mixt. contg. an insol. K mineral, (2) pre-comminution of organic waste, (3) uniform mixing of the organic waste and the micronised mineral mixt., and (4) fermentation of the mixt..    Mineral mixt. pref. contains (a) an insol. K mineral or a silicate mixt. contg. K, (b) CaSO4, (c) bentonite/montmorillonite, of 1-10:1-10:1-10:1-10:0.01-1 (1:1:1:1:0:1). Organic waste is paper, leather, textiles, animal or vegetable kitchen waste, waste from horticulture, agriculture or forestry, seaweed or faeces. In the fermentation, biomass, esp. sapropel and/or sewage sludge, may be added to the mixt. of organic waste and minerals, in ratio by wt. of biomass:organic waste of 1 : 1000-0.5 (1: 60-1). Fermentation is at raised 02 content, esp. 20-40 (35) vol. % of O2 in the gas phase, and at controlled ratio of relative moisture/water activity. Mixt. of organic waste and minerals may be applied onto or into the soil, and fermented there by soil microbes; the organic waste is then partic. a liq. bio-waste, esp. liq. manure and/or fruit pulp and/or sewage sludge.    Fertiliser contains the finely divided mineral mixt. micronised organic waste and biomass, esp. in ratio of 1-50:5-100:0.1-10 (1-10 : 5-30 : 0.5-5).    ADVANTAGE -   Waste material of very varying types is rapidly converted to a soil-improving humus. Prodn. of excess CO2 is avoided. Mineral components of the the humus remain in the soil and are not washed out by rain or irrigation. Ammoniacal N is provided in metabolisable form for plants, and emission of NH3 is reduced. Mineral content of animal food is raised, leading to good quality meat for human nutrition    (JP7500807-W)      Decomposition of minerals, with integrated disposal of organic waste, involves (1) very fine comminution of a mineral mixt. contg. an insol.
