  • Patent number: 6922941
    Abstract: A method for making a plant-cultivating web or sheet from excretive sludge of domestic animals includes collecting sludge; concentrating the sludge; stabilizing the sludge; dehydrating the sludge; mixing the sludge with polyvinyl acetate (PVAC), wherein the mixing ratio between the sludge and PVAC is 4:1; drying a mixture of the sludge and PVAC; grinding the dried mixture into powders; mixing the powders with polyethylene, wherein the mixing ratio between the powders and polyethylene is 10%-80%: 90%-10%; adding high molecular weight starch into a mixture of the powders and polyethylene; and rolling the starch/mixture of the powders and polyethylene into a plate-cultivating web. An environment-protective and waste-reusing product is provided accordingly.

  • Patent number: 6454985
    Abstract: A method for making plant-cultivating vessels from excretive sludge of domestic animals includes picking a wet sludge containing 78%˜83% of water and adding the wet sludge into a waste pulp tank. The combination of the wet sludge and waste pulp is stirred and then filled into a mold for making vessels. The mold is baked and the formed vessel is removed from the mold after formation. The vessel so made may be combined with the soil after decomposition without any treatment, which is advantageous for cultivation of flowering plants and primary cultivation of plants. An environment-protective and waste-reusing product is provided accordingly.
