Abstract: The disposal of sewage sludge for modern municipalities represents an ever‐increasingly difficult problem. Feasibility studies on the use of sludge to produce cement as a means of ultimate sludge disposal has been initiated. ...

Abstract: Sludge is an inevitable by‐product of municipal sewage treatment. Its abundance results from rapid industrial growth, and increased treatment requirements create problems of disposal. The disposal problem could be drastically ...

Abstract: The disposal of sludge from wastewater treatment process presents increasingly difficult problems to highly urbanized cities. Incineration might be a feasible alternative solution for sludge disposal, providing a means of ...

Abstract: Laboratory studies were conducted to assess the influence of media-related factors such as porosity, specific surface, and pore size on hydraulic behavior and performance of upflow anaerobic biofilters (ABFs). Three 15-L ...

Abstract: One of the ways in which highly urbanized cities cope with increasing amounts of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated by the population is incineration. As land is a very precious commodity and landfills are fast dwindling ...

Abstract: The large amounts of industrial sludge generated from the wastewater treatment of a copper slag recycling plant and the marine clay dredged out from excavation and tunneling works create problems of disposal. In this study, ...

Abstract: Laboratory tests were carried out to characterize the properties of municipal fly ash (MFA) samples collected from an incineration plant in Singapore over a period of 12 months. The laboratory test results show that the ...

Abstract: Sludge disposal is a nuisance for municipal wastewater treatment plants. Increasingly stringent environmental control regulations have resulted in limitations on sludge disposal options, and hence there has been a resulting ...

Abstract: The effects of media specific surface area, porosity, pore size as well as the role of suspended biomass on the performance of upflow anaerobic packed-bed reactors (APBRs) treating synthetic protein-carbohydrate waste were ...

Abstract: Industrial sludge is generated at a rate of 100 metric tons/day, from a copper slag recycling plant. The industrial sludge is currently being landfilled. However, limited availbility of landfill sites has raised the need ...
