Apr 1, 2023 · The co-composting of the sewage sludge and rice husk reduced TOC losses. Villaseñor et al., (2011) reported that in the composting of domestic sewage sludge with different natural materials in a rotary drum reactor, the carbon loss in the reactor containing 25 % mordenite was 58 % (Villaseñor et al., 2011). In the composting of dewatered
Dec 22, 2020 · Conventional fertilization practices in agroecosystems concern the supply of bioavailable nutrients, such as mineral fertilizers. A consolidated alternative to restoring the long-term fertility of agricultural soils is their amendment with organic fertilizers. Soil amendment with biowaste compost or sewage sludge represents a sustainable strategy to avoid the landfilling of organic matter
Feb 1, 2024 · As a by-product of municipal wastewater treatment, municipal sludge is generated in large quantities and comprises intricate constituents. It usually contains plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, non-toxic organic matter, toxic and non-degradable organic matter (e.g., furans and dioxins), heavy metals and bacteria, etc. (Jiang et al., 2021; Xu et al., 2023) Although the
In the EU, the direct use of sewage sludge in agriculture and for land reclamation is regulated by Directive 86/278/EEC on the use of sludge in agriculture (Directive 86/278/EEC, 1986). According to the directive, sludge should be used for agricultural proposes in such ways as to prevent harmful effects on soil, vegetation, animals, and humans
Several processes are used: air drying on sand beds. centrifugation. belt pressing (filtration) Increases solids content to 15 to 30%. Air drying reduces pathogens. Centrifugation and filtration result in some loss of nutrients. Anaerobic digestion. One of the most widely used for sludge treatment.
Jun 20, 2012 · Purpose Urbanization and industrialization in China has resulted in a dramatic increase in the volume of wastewater and sewage sludge produced from wastewater treatment plants. Problems associated with sewage sludge have attracted increasing attention from the public and urban planners. How to manage sludge in an economically and environmentally acceptable manner is one of the critical issues
Mar 1, 2020 · The following types of compost were used in the experiment: compost of maize straw (MC), compost produced from a mixture of maize straw and sewage sludge (MSC) and compost of maize straw, sewage sludge and biochar (MSBC). The compost was sieved through a sieve with a mesh sizes of 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 μm.
The composting process lasted for 3 months in all cases, with a bio-oxidative phase of 2 months for SS1 and SS2 and 1 month for SS3. The composting mixture consisted of sewage sludge + straw (1:1 v/v) for SS1, sewage sludge + pruning wastes (1:1 v/v) for SS2, and dried sewage sludge + pruning wastes (1:2 v/v) for SS3.
Jan 1, 2022 · Abstract. Sewage sludge management is critical for reducing environmental pollution and its negative impacts on human health. Waste and wastewater are generally generated in large quantities in cities. Origin, collection process, and treatment all influence the quality of these sewage sludge wastes. Consequently, these wastes end up in a wide

Jan 15, 2023 · The most common sludge management in Germany is incineration with energy recycling (69%) and agricultural use (18%). Spain and the Czech Republic have the highest percentage use of sewage sludge for agricultural purposes, respectively 84% and 46%, while Hungary (52%) and France (35%) most often manage sewage sludge through composting.
Jan 14, 2013 · While the EPA has given the use of sewage sludge its blessing some of its own scientists disagree that it’s safe. And for good reason. When you spread sludge on farmland or use a bag of compost you bought at a nursery or home-and-garden supply that’s made with sludge, you’re also spreading contaminants.
May 1, 2019 · Sewage sludge: Remaining sludge from secondary sedimentation tank of a sewage treatment plant, moisture content of the wet sewage sludge 84.3%. Pretreatment: (1) wet sludge was dried at the temperature of 105 °C for 12 h, (2) dry sludge sample was ground using a mortar into a particle size of 1 mm, (3) 30 g of pretreated sludge and 10 wt.% of
