Jan 1, 2023 · The treatment and disposal of sewage sludges is an issue of high concern, given the role of sewage sludge in environmental pollution, risks to human health and high cost of its disposal. Under current legislation, sludge can be disposed of in agriculture after a stabilization process, such as composting. As a result of this process, organic
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
Aug 1, 2023 · Sludge is made up of domestic and industrial effluents and surface water run-off. It mostly comes from waste water recycling centres (sewage plants). Some of it comes from private treatment such
Jan 10, 2020 · Smuggled cigarette tobacco (SCT) and industrial sewage sludge (ISS) are important substrates in the process of microbiological degradation, due to the high level of total nitrogen in their composition, which favors the composting process (Zittel et al., 2018b). However, these residues must be combined with structuring agents (sawdust, garden
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 ).
