Thermochemical conversion of sewage sludge: A critical review
TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of sewage sludge are discussed in terms of composition and the current options for its treatment with the associated environmental impacts, and a critical comparison is made of the drying techniques, co-feedstocks and catalytic processes, reaction kinetics, reactor technologies, operating conditions to be optimized, removal of impurities, fuel properties, their constraints and required improvements.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on wastewater sludge valorisation and its challenges in the context of circular economy
TL;DR: The use of wastewater sludge as a source for energy and resource recovery is a good alternative for its management considering the legislation requirements and the circular economy principles as mentioned in this paper, which has made researchers consider the recovery of valuable components from sludge, such as carbon and nutrients.

A critical review of resource recovery from municipal wastewater treatment plants – market supply potentials, technologies and bottlenecks
Philipp Kehrein,Mark C.M. van Loosdrecht,Patricia Osseweijer,Marianna Garfí,Jo Dewulf,John A. Posada +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of 11 resources recoverable from municipal wastewater treatment plants to supply national resource consumption is investigated in academia and nine non-technical bottlenecks are identified in literature that have to be overcome to successfully implement these technologies into wastewater treatment process designs.

A Scientific Perspective on Microplastics in Nature and Society
Bart Koelmans,Sabine Pahl,Thomas Backhaus,Filipa Bessa,G. van Calster,N. Contzen,R. Cronin,Tamara S. Galloway,A. Hart,Lesley Henderson,Gabriela Kalčíková,Frank J. Kelly,B. Kolodziejczyk,E. Marku,W. Poortinga,Matthias C. Rillig,E. van Sebille,L. Steg,J. Steinhorst,J. Steidl,Kristian Syberg,Richard C. Thompson,Martin Wagner,A.P. van Wezel,Kayleigh J. Wyles,Stephanie L. Wright +25 more
TL;DR: The best available evidence suggests that microplastics and nanoplastics do not pose a widespread risk to humans or the environment, except in small pockets as discussed by the authors. But that evidence is limited, and the situation could change if pollution continues at the current rate.
Wastewater Engineering Treatment And Resource Recovery
TL;DR: The wastewater engineering treatment and resource recovery is universally compatible with any devices to read and online access to it is set as public so you can get it instantly.

Directive 2003/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present technical prescriptions concerning the design and construction of agricultural or forestry tractors, as regards the rollover protection structures, as well as the approximation of the laws of the Member States to enable the EC typeapproval procedure provided for in Directive 2003/37/EC to be applied in respect of each type of tractor.

Utilization of sewage sludge in EU application of old and new methods—A review
D. Fytili,Anastasia Zabaniotou +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review past and future trends in sludge handling, focusing mainly at thermal processes (e.g. pyrolysis, wet oxidation, gasification) and the utilization of sewage sludge in cement manufacture as a co-fuel.

Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Resource Recovery
TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of flow in pipes is performed using Moody diagrams and non-ideal flow in Reactors is modeled using tracers in order to model nonideal flows in reactors.

Sludge: A waste or renewable source for energy and resources recovery?
Vinay Kumar Tyagi,Shang-Lien Lo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the type of resources that can be recovered from waste sludge and, conventional and emerging methods used to convert the sludge into valuable resources are discussed, and major factors involved in the process, stage of application, advantages and possible drawbacks of the methods are also discussed.

Comparative assessment of municipal sewage sludge incineration, gasification and pyrolysis for a sustainable sludge-to-energy management in Greece
TL;DR: The current status of both European and Greek Legislation on waste management, with a special insight in municipal sewage sludge, is presented and pyrolysis seems to be the optimal thermochemical treatment option compared to incineration and gasification.
