Environmental assessment of sewage sludge recycling options and treatment processes in Tokyo

Fixation and partitioning of heavy metals in slag after incineration of sewage sludge

“…The lower mass fractions of water in the sludge, the little cost during the incineration process and the more thermal energy could be recycled (Hara and Mino, 2008). In literature there are some expectations that water could effect the transfer into combustion slag.…”

Optimization of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production by excess activated sludge and microbial community analysis

“…After the acclimation period, the SBR achieved stability, and the sludge retention time (SRT) of 5 days was maintained. The acclimation was operated at room temperature in the range of 28-31 • C. The culture medium contained the following (mg L −1 ): CH 3 …”

Improved sample treatment for the determination of 17 strong sorbed quinolone antibiotics from compost by ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

“…The utilization of sewage sludge for agricultural application is increasing [14], and composting has been recognized as one of the best sewage sludge recycling options [15]. Previous studies have shown that the degradation of some pharmaceuticals and personal care products may take place during biosolids composting [16], but still very few systematic works concerning the degradation of antimicrobials during sewage sludge composting have been developed [17][18][19].…”
