Oct 27, 2015 · In order to use sewage sludge (SS) composts in agriculture, it is extremely important to estimate the quality of compost products. The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of composted SS as a fertilizer and soil amendment especially in semi-arid areas. To determine the quality and agronomic value of the SS compost products, analyses on pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter
Sludge Composting. According to statistics there are nearly 600 sewage treatment plants in China at present. And the sludge generated during the sewage treatment process is about 0.3-0.5% of the sewage treatment capacity. If we calculate based on this data, China’s municipal sewage treatment plants discharge is about 1.4 x 10t/a of dry sludge.
Microbiol., 23 December 2021. Sec. Microbiotechnology. Volume 12 - 2021 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2021.784071. Industrial Composting of Sewage Sludge: Study of the Bacteriome, Sanitation, and Antibiotic-Resistant Strains.
Aug 17, 2021 · Municipal solid waste and sewage sludge are produced in large quantities that are often managed through industrial composting treatment. Because of their origin, composition, and complexity, ensuring adequate stabilization of the organic matter, and sanitation of fecal contaminants during composting is of the utmost significance, and difficult
Sewage sludge is the residual, semi-solid material that is produced as a by-product during sewage treatment of industrial or municipal wastewater. The term "septage" also refers to sludge from simple wastewater treatment but is connected to simple on-site sanitation systems, such as septic tanks . When fresh sewage or wastewater enters a
Aug 17, 2023 · in direct soil utilization of sludge or sludge compost products, and the passivation capac- ity increases with the increase of AP dose [8,11]. However, during an AP-amended SS
Aug 5, 2020 · The adoption of sewage sludge as an agricultural management strategy to improve soil properties and crop production is attracting great interest. Despite many positive effects on soil inorganic and organic components reported for different soil types, little information is available on sewage sludge application on Mediterranean soils, as well as on its use at different dose rates. The
Sep 1, 2021 · Surprisingly, HPC was more efficient at sludge degradation and phytotoxicity removal, further, the end sludge compost of HPC achieved 123.3% increase of the humification degree (HAC/FAC) and 14.2
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.
Sep 11, 2020 · The safe disposal of sewage sludge during the process of municipal wastewater treatment has become one of the major concerns of increased production. Land application was thought of as a more economical method for sewage sludge disposal than landfill and incineration. However, the presence of heavy metals in sewage sludge restricted the use of land application. The environmental risk of heavy
Jul 15, 2021 · Xinze Wang. 1484 Accesses. 19 Citations. 1 Altmetric. Explore all metrics. Abstract. The utilization of nutrients in sewage sludge partly alleviates the economic and environmental constraints, and the composting process has been proved a cost-efficient and simple approach for the recycling of sewage sludge.
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.
Jul 1, 2017 · Nevertheless, as described by several authors (Quan-Ying et al., 2007, Smith, 2009), the high metal content of sewage sludge is a disadvantage for both anaerobic digestion and composting. Moreover, due to the high moisture content and low porosity of this waste, bulking agents must be used during composting to absorb moisture, enhance aeration
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.
The results of plant-scale hyperthermophilic composting of municipal sludge with green waste showed that the residual concentrations of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, phthalates, polybrominated diphenyl ethers were <5 mg/kg and decreased over time, with the removal percentages from 12.1% to 51.2% during seven days of composting.
