Content and Properties of the By-Products of the Oxidative Degradation of Peat and Their Possible Use

Abstract—The physical and chemical properties and chemical content of solid residues emerging during the production of plant growth regulators “Oxihumate” and “Peat Oxidate” are studied. The possibility of their use as additions to mineral and organic and mineral fertilizers, soil ameliorants and substrates for vermiculture growing and also as reinforcing additions to the different types of molded fuel is substantiated.
