A METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A FERTILIZER AND SOIL IMPROVEMENT AGENT FROM SULFITE WASTE LIQUOR BY FERMENTATION WHILE RECOVERING ACIDS AND COMBUSTIBLE GASES FORMED IN THE PROCESS, SAID METHOD COMPRISING ADJUSTING THE TEMPPERATURE OF THE SULFITE WASTE LIQUOR TO A VALUE OF UP TO 60*C., ADJUSTING TH PH OF SAID LIQUOR TO A VALUE WITHIN THE RANGE OF 7 TO 10.5 BY ADDING THERETO AN ALKALINE AGENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF AMMONIA, AND CARBONATES, BICARBONATES, OXIDES AND HYDROXIDES OF ALKALI AND ALKALINE EARTH METALS, INOCULATING SAID LIQUOR WITH A BACTERIA CONTAINING PUTREFIED SLUDGE FROM A SEWAGE PURIFICATION PROCESS, SUBJECTING THE INCULATED LIQUOR TO AN AEROBIC FERMENTATION UNDER AERATION FOR A PERIOD OF ABOUT 5 TO 7 HOURS AND THEN TO AN ANAEROBIC FERMENTATION FOR A PERIOD OF UP TO 5 DAYS WHILE MAINTAINING THE PH OF THE LIQUOR WITHIN THE AFOREMENTIONED RANGE BY ADDING SAID ALKALINE AGENT THERETO WHEN THE PH TENDS TO FALL DUE TO MICROBIOLOGICAL FORMATION OF ACETIC ACID, AND RECOVERING THE FERMENTED BACTERIA CONTAINING LIQUOR.
