TLDR
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.Abstract:
The European Union has made progress in dealing with municipal wastewater in individual countries and as a corporate entity. However, it intends to make still further and substantial progress over the next 15 years. Currently, the most widely available options in the EU are the agriculture utilization, the waste disposal sites, the land reclamation and restoration, the incineration and other novel uses. The selection of an option on a local basis reflects local or national, cultural, historical, geographical, legal, political and economic circumstances. The degree of flexibility varies from country to country. In any case sludge treatment and disposal should always be considered as an integral part of treatment of wastewater. There is a wide range of other uses for sludge, which exploit its energy or chemical content, namely the thermal processes. The present paper sought to 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.read more

Mesophilic anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge and orange peel waste.
Antonio Serrano,José Ángel Siles López,A.F. Chica,Miren Martín,Fadoua Karouach,Abdelaziz Mesfioui,Hassan El Bari +6 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes orange peel waste as an easily biodegradable co-substrate to improve the viability of the Mesophilic anaerobic digestion process and suggests the occurrence of an inhibition phenomenon.

Renewability assessment of a production system: Based on embodied energy as emergy
TL;DR: Based on a comprehensive review of previous renewability assessment studies, the authors contributes a framework to assess the renewability of a production system based on the systems ecological concept of embodied energy as emergy (embodied solar energy).

PCDD/F levels and phase distributions in a full-scale municipal solid waste incinerator with co-incinerating sewage sludge.
TL;DR: This study verified that co-incinerating sewage sludge in the MSWI would not elevate the emission levels of PCDD/Fs, and found that de novo synthesis is not the dominant formation pathway in the studied incinerator.

Sequential extraction procedure for the speciation of particulate trace metals
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical procedure involving sequential chemicai extractions was developed for the partitioning of particulate trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe, and Mn) into five fractions: exchangeable, bound to carbonates, binding to Fe-Mn oxides and bound to organic matter.

Sewage sludge combustion
Joachim Werther,T. Ogada +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current and future issues related to the combustion of sewage sludge is presented, and a number of technologies for thermal processing of sludge are discussed in three groups, i.e., mono-combustion, cocombustions and alternative processes.

Trace metal analysis on polluted sediments
Ulrich Förstner,Wim Salomons +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a standardization with respect to grain size effects, commonly achieved by analyzing the sieve fraction <63μm, which is used to pin point major sources of metal pollution and to estimate the toxicity potential of dredged materials.
