Description:
Field and laboratory trials were used in attempts to relate soil moisture tension and the efficiency of a silt loam soil to oxidize the organic material in cannery corn waste. The organic loading in the waste was expressed as chemical oxygen demand (COD). Evidence was obtained to indicate that the back fill over the field tiles had not settled adequately and the waste was not retained long enough by the soil to facilitate oxidation. With laboratory trials using the miscible displacement technique, 97% of the COD was removed at soil moisture tensions of 45 and 100 cm of water.
