Mar 4, 2022 · The pertinent challenges associated with effective treatment of fecal sludge in medium scales necessitate alternative means for land application. The of compost preparation from sewage sludge and their modes of application to the agricultural fields have profound impacts on the soil ecology and environment. Besides the chemical conditioning effects on soil organic matter, they also
Mar 18, 2022 · 2. Materials and . We focused on assessing the rate of formation of the soil–vegetation complex during the amelioration and rehabilitation of disturbed lands. The soil–plant complex formation was evaluated by analyzing the growth and development of grass plants on the formed models of mine waste layers.
Feb 22, 2024 · The recovery of valuable resources from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has received a great deal of attention as part of the concept of a circular economy. Anaerobic digestion for stabilizing sewage sludge in WWTPs, which produces biogas and stabilized biosolids, is a mature technology used worldwide. However, despite the necessity of achieving safe and reliable organic recycling, studies
Sep 20, 2022 · Composting is one of the ways to return sewage sludge nutrients to the soil and thus keep them in the economic cycle. This well-known technique is still being developed in search of more advanced, optimal solutions. This study presents the results of an environmental and economic analysis of the sludge treatment processes used in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. The sludge (up to 4700
Dec 24, 2021 · Moreover, antibiotic-resistant microorganisms present in the raw materials were reduced, since these were isolated only in the bio-oxidative phase. Therefore, industrial composting of sewage sludge results in a bio-safe final product suitable for use in a variety of applications.
Results showed hyperthermophilic composting enhanced decomposition and humification of municipal sludge in the short terms, while heavy metal concentrations and speciation had no significant change with high copper and zinc levels (101-122 and 292-337 mg/kg, respectively) in compost samples.
Aug 17, 2021 · In this study, a comparative analysis is carried out of the compost produced from industrial composting facilities that process municipal solid waste (MSW) and sewage sludge (SS) and compare them with those produced from green waste (VR).
Jun 24, 2022 · Moreover, four bio-enhanced degradation scenarios of FQs were set up according to the different temperatures and carbon–nitrogen ratio (C/N) in the sewage sludge composting stage, and the molecular dynamic (MD) simulation assisted by protein–protein docking was used to screen the external environmental factors that promote the degradation
Alfa Laval NX-314 Decanter Centrifuge. A sludge dewatering or sludge thickening centrifuge is a decanter-type horizontal de-sludger that can remove water from slurries to thicken the sludge. In other words, a heavy-duty industrial centrifuge dewaters and concentrates (thickens) the sludge, also known as a sludge thickening machine.
Oct 19, 2023 · Sewage sludge treatment and disposal remains a challenging problem. Composting of sewage sludges is gaining increasing attention due to its cost-effectiveness, operation convenience, advantages in lifecycle management, and low greenhouse gas emissions. Disadvantages, such as long reaction time, significant land area occupation requirement, potential risks of residual heavy metals, and emerging
Jan 1, 2022 · Sewage sludge contains a large amount of salts (such as salts of sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), and K) and minerals that increase the EC of the soil. In this regard, Akbarnejad et al. ( 2013) reported that with increasing amounts of municipal solid waste compost and SS from 15 to 30 ton ha −1, OC and EC of soil increased.
Mar 16, 2023 · On the basis of these considerations, this review aims to: 1) explain the enrichment mechanisms of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in sewage sludge; 2) summarize to analyze the contents of antibiotics, ARGs, and ARB in complicate sludge; 3) focus on the effects of different treatment and disposal processes on the fate and risks control of antibiotics, ARGs, and ARB in sewage
Feb 2, 2018 · The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of sewage sludge composting using a simple aeration method. Two consecutive composting trials (run A and run B) using Japanese sludge and woodchips (1:1, v/v) were conducted in cubic boxes (0.45 × 0.45 × 0.45 m3) made by plywood at Okayama University. Air was forced up through small holes perforated on two open-ended parallel PVC
Oct 15, 2023 · During composting, pH is a crucial indicator of microbial activity and population composition [51].The variation in pH values during composting is also shown in Fig. 1.At the start of the composting process (Day 0), the pH of BPA pile mixture was 4.3, known to be due to food waste acidification, which produces organic acids as well as some volatile acids of low-molecular-weight
Aug 30, 2023 · Complementary characteristics of rice straw (RS) and sewage sludge (SS) create a suitable mixture to be used in a composting process. This work studies industrial-scale RS and SS composting to assess both its viability and optimization. Windrow composting was conducted during two seasons.
