Three types of biosolids—lime stabilised (LS), anaerobically digested (AD) and thermally dried (TD)—and two types of MBM (low and high ash) were examined. The nutrient and metal losses were examined using a 1-L capacity beaker, which contained an intact soil core. Treatments were applied at maximum and twice the maximum legal application rates and then overlain with 500mL of water, which was stirred to simulate overland flow. At the maximum legal application rate, low ash MBM (1.14mg L−1) and TD biosolids (2.43mg L−1) had the highest losses of P. Thermally dried biosolids and LS biosolids exceeded maximum allowable concentrations (MAC) for manganese, but all treatments remained below the MAC for copper and iron, at the maximum legal application rate. Anaerobically digested biosolids and high and low ash MBM would appear to have potential for landspreading, but these results are indicative only and should be verified at field scale.
