| description abstract | Twenty‐three different sewage sludges were studied to adapt indigenous sulfur‐oxidizing microflora to solubilize a substantial part of trace metals from the sludges. The results showed that the oxidation of elemental sulfur into sulfuric acid with indigenous sludge thiobacilli causes a sludge acidification, lowering the pH below 2.0. This pH reduction solubilizes trace metals to a level compatible with recommended norms for agricultural use with the following metal solubilization efficiencies: Cd, | |
