Abstract

This article discusses an important problem related to the disposal of organic waste from poultry farms. Bird droppings are one of the main sources of environmental pollution and consume significant resources for disposal. The search for effective and environmentally safe methods of disposal of such waste is very relevant. The article focuses on the study of the adsorption properties of a clay accumulation site. Due to the insufficient knowledge of this technology of manure burial, full-scale modeling was performed to determine the effectiveness of protecting the components of the ecological and geological environment. It is shown that under conditions of complete water saturation, the liquid fraction from the organic waste layer will easily seep through the voids and cracks of the clay layer and poison the underlying soils and groundwater. It is concluded that a clay special site alone does not provide guaranteed environmental safety of the environment. Engineering and environmental recommendations are given on the mandatory combination of this method of burial of litter with a litter made of a layer of sealed film coating.
