Therefore, industrial-scale sewage sludge composting was shown to be an effective tool for the elimination of indicator strains of fecal contamination resistant to certain antibiotics in routine use. Thus, it contributed to the reduction of the spread of ARGs in environmental microbiomes, as well as the transfer of the same in the food chain.
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
Apr 19, 2019 · 2. The global production of sewage sludge and the main directions of its management. At the European scale, the 91/271/ECC urban wastewater treatment directive adopted in May 1991 imposed the collection and treatment of wastewater in agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) of more than 2000.
In this study, the operations of six industrial composting facilities that process municipal solid waste and sewage sludge were evaluated from the point of view of the sanitation achieved and the quality of the compost produced. In addition, the results were compared using the model of industrial compost from green waste.
Apr 4, 2024 · The characterization of compost compositions on the basis of sewage sludge and structural materials (straw, sawdust, bark) composting is described. A comparison of the most often used for composting and characterization of structural materials is also presented. Sewage sludge and structural materials were mixed in different ratios and composted in piles (laboratory scale) for 3 months
Jan 1, 2023 · It is divided into 11 CMCs (Categories of Constituent Materials) and 7 PFCs (Functional Categories of Products). Sewage sludge is treated in CMC 3 and CMC 5, which state that it is no longer possible to produce a fertilizer by aerobic composting (CMC 3) or by anaerobic digestion (CMC 5) from sewage sludge, industrial sludge or dredging sludge [33].
Apr 1, 2023 · Co-composting is an efficient solid waste management method that helps to manage various solid wastes (i.e., poultry waste, animal waste, food waste, agricultural waste, municipal solid waste, industrial sludge, sewage, etc.) and turn them into valuable products, which can increase soil fertility by acting as a soil conditioner.
Jun 4, 2021 · Zorpas AA (2001) Heavy metals removal from sewage sludge compost using natural zeolite - a function of temperature and contact time. International Symposium, Recycling and Reuse of Sewage Sludge, Dundee, Scotland, 19-20 March. Zorpas ΑA (2008) Sewage Sludge compost evaluation in oats, pepper and eggplant cultivation. Dyn Soil Dyn Plant 2(2
Dec 5, 2022 · Rather than an effluent flushed down the drain, dry compost machines produce a compost product with a wide range of applications including; erosion control, improved plant growth, pest and weed deterrence, mulch, potting soil, and more. Depending on the users intended compost application, maturity, mineral, and biological tests can be conducted.
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.
The use of industrial sludge (e.g., waste slurry, fertilizer, fly ash, paper mill sludge, red mud, rice husk, and steel plant waste) as a low-cost adsorbent in water remediation is a well-established technology for removing both inorganic and organic pollutants (De Gisi et al., 2016 ).
Therefore, industrial-scale sewage sludge composting was shown to be an effective tool for the elimination of indicator strains of fecal contamination resistant to certain antibiotics in routine use. Thus, it contributed to the reduction of the spread of ARGs in environmental microbiomes, as well as the transfer of the same in the food chain.
Jan 1, 2022 · Sewage sludge (SS) is the solid, semi-solid, or liquid residue generated during the treatment of domestic sewage in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), whose correct destination is one of the biggest challenges for sanitation services globally (Zhen et al. 2017; Raheem et al. 2018) since the worldwide 7.6 billion people excreta must be disposed of in some way.
Mar 4, 2022 · In general, co-composting with sewage sludge is found to be suitable for many emerging organic wastes such as industrial sludge, processed food wastes, and municipal solid wastes having newer compositions, to supplement for their poor biodegradability during composting as well as to inhibit their leachability in the soil medium (Ferrentino et
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
