Biological Sludge Minimization and Biomaterials/Bioenergy Recovery Technologies
A comprehensive guide to sludge management, reuse, and disposal
When wastewater is treated, reducing organic material to carbon dioxide, water, and bacterial cellsthe cells are disposed of, producing a semisolid and nutrient-rich byproduct called sludge. The expansion in global population and industrial activity has turned the production of excess sludge into an international environmental challe...
