Impraim, Robert Drechsel, Pay excreta agricultural production fertilizers composts faeces irradiation pellets starch crops cassava clay moisture content Paper presented at the Second International Faecal Sludge Management Conference, Durban, South Africa, 29 October - 1 November 2012 This paper describes the pelletization process of fecal sludge-based fertilizers. The equipment used for the process was fabricated locally in Ghana. Each fertilizer product was individually used for the production of cylindrical pellets. From the current study, the binding material type (cassava starch, either pregelatinized or pretreated by gamma irradiation, or kaolin clay) and concentration (0 to 10 % in mass) as well as moisture content (20-47%) appeared to be the most critical factors during pellets production. It was noticed that the higher the binder concentration, the higher the stability of pellets. This study confirmed that cassava starch is a preferred binding material and that fixing its concentration at 1-3 % could be enough during the pelletization process. The pellets produced in this project had 7.5 to 7.7 mm in diameter, but their length distribution varied depending on the material used. 2012 2014-06-13T11:41:13Z 2014-06-13T11:41:13Z Conference Paper Nikiema, Josiane; Cofie, Olufunke; Impraim, Robert; Drechsel, Pay. 2012.
