Development of an organic fertilizer made from sheep whool
The superior objective of the project "Hydrowolle" is the development of an intelligent organic fertilizer product, based on an almost 100 % recycling of ingredients of sheep wholl via hydrolitic processes. The product that will be developed shall be used in cycle as biogenious source of nutrients for the plant nutrition in the gardening sector. The focus of the project is beside a perfect conversion of the educt into an applicable suspension and analytic of the compounds, to investigate the appropriateness respectively suitability of the organic fertilizer through definied cultivation experiments.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
The requirements for an organic liquid fertilizer were developed and formulated with regard to nutrient content, storage stability and combinability with additives. Thermal compaction was successfully demonstrated, which allows the wool to be compacted without impairing the subsequent liquefaction process. A solvent was identified that enables complete liquefaction of the wool. The use of steam is particularly promising for liquefaction. It was demonstrated that production is technically feasible and that the necessary components are available on the market.
