From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 41, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe disposal of wastewater treatment sewage sludge onto agricultural land in New Zealand has led to the development of guidelines for the upper limit concentrations for total heavy metals in the underlying soil....
-
From:Journal of Environmental Health (Vol. 70, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedThe authors investigated the antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolates in 22 samples of crude inflow, treated effluent, and sludge collected at the wastewater treatment plants of eight poultry...

Nursery growing media: agronomic and environmental quality assessment of sewage sludge-based compost
There is a stringent need to reduce the environmental impact of peat in the plant nursery production chain. In this experiment, the use of different rates of sewage sludge compost in the preparation of growing media for... -
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 12, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedComposted sewage sludge (CS) is considered a rich source of soil nutrients and significantly affects the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of soil, but its effect on specific enzyme activity in soil is...
-
From:Chemical EngineeringPeer-ReviewedRecovery of the essential plant nutrient phosphorus from wastewater can be an effective way to reduce runoff into waterways while avoiding the need to obtain the element from mined minerals. While phosphorus recovery...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 14, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedA novel approach was employed to load [alpha]-Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 and [alpha]-FeOOH onto sewage sludge biochar (SBC) with the purpose of efficient nickel (Ni) removal. A high Ni(II) adsorption capacity of 35.50...
-
From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 38, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedMetal pollution of agricultural land in Australia and New Zealand is less severe than that documented in many European countries, due to the lower density of urban developments and a lower level of industrialisation....
-
From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 46, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedThe fate of nitrogen (N) applied in biosolids was investigated in a forage production system on an alluvial clay loam soil in south-eastern Queensland, Australia. Biosolids were applied in October 2002 at rates of 6,...

From:Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (Vol. 55, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT: Erosion is a worrying environmental problem in the Mediterranean basin, and effective systems of soil protection against erosive risks are in great demand Six herbaceous species commonly used to restore...
-
From:Australian Journal of Soil Research (Vol. 41, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedLarge quantities of wastewater are generated from municipal and industrial sources in New Zealand. More stringent discharge standards and recent improvements in wastewater treatment technology have contributed to the...
-
From:Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering (Vol. 36, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBench scale experimentation was completed to assess the potential of using a short residence time pretreatment reactor upstream of aerobic digestion to enhance the destruction of pathogens. The impact of aeration,...
-
From:Waste Management and Research (Vol. 23, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMechanisms involved in moisture storage in refuse are explored using data from four sets of experiments in a semiarid climate. Two laboratory series of experiments contained municipal solid waste (MSW) amended with...
-
From:Biotechnology for Biofuels (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Converting wastewater sludge to lipid is considered as one of the best strategies of sludge management. The current problem of lipid production from wastewater sludge is the low yield (0.10-0.16 g lipid/g...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 16, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe moisture content of municipal sludge is relatively high, which increases the cost of sludge transportation and treatment. To reduce the volume of the sludge, sludge dewatering is needed. This paper proposes the...

From:Advances in Geosciences (Vol. 49) Peer-Reviewed
The combination of anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis technologies could be a novel energy-biochar production system to maximize energy and nutrient recovery from pulp and paper mill sludge. Herein, the life-cycle...
-
From:Journal of Environmental Health (Vol. 74, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe efficacy of three septic tank additives and a control was assessed using a randomized complete-block design in a double-blind study described in this article. Sludge depth, scum thickness, and total solids were...
-
From:Construction and Building Materials (Vol. 21, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedAbstract The purpose of this study is to efficiently treat sewage sludge discharged from sewage treatment plants and to evaluate the feasibility of lightweight aggregate made from a large quantity of sewage sludge....
-
From:Science - Future of Lithuania (Vol. 2, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe aim of research is to check the possibility of composting stone wool waste using sewage sludge. The problem is huge amounts of dumped waste (sewage sludge, production waste in the stone wool) without any treatment....
