ABSTRACT One considerable concern arises from saline wastewater resulting from the production chain of the anticoagulant drug heparin. This waste contains a high concentration of sodium (Na, 2400 mg L-1), which can negatively influence soil structure. Simultaneously, it possesses a rich organic carbon content and nutrients that are beneficial to agricultural systems. This study sought to assess potential changes in physical and chemical properties, as well as soil mineralogy resulting from the application of varying proportions of industrial saline wastewater […]
