Industrial and Municipal Sludge: Emerging Concerns and Scope for Resource Recovery

Sludge is an expensive and problematic byproduct of the wastewater treatment process. While there are numerous treatment options, most were developed over a century ago. Industrial and Municipal Sludge: Emerging Concerns and Scope for Resource Recovery latest technologies and techniques to design and optimize sustainable sludge treatment processes and recovery operations.Divided into four sections, Industrial and Municipal Sludge: Emerging Concerns and Scope for Resource Recovery begins with a characterization of the various types of sludge, their sources and management strategies. This is followed by five sections speaking to issues and technologies for recovery such as: Emerging contaminants in sludge (Endocrine disruptors, Pesticides and Pharmaceutical residues, including illicit drugs/controlled substances); Bioleaching of sludge [with an enriched sulfur-oxidizing bacterial community; Recovery of valuable metals from sludge (Bioleaching and use of sulfur-oxidizing bacterial community; Biogas production by continuous thermal hydrolysis and thermohilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge. In addition, the book includes numerous tables & flow diagrams are included to help comprehend the subject. Includes numerous tables and flow diagrams to assist in the comprehension of new and existing sludge treatments and resource recovery technology Covers biogas production by continuous thermal hydrolysis and thermophilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge Presents information on the recovery of valuable metals from sludge (bioleaching and the use of a sulfur-oxidizing bacterial community) Includes opportunities and challenges in the biorefinery-based valorization of pulp and paper sludge
