The study of the ashes obtained by burning the dry sludge of urban sewage treatment systems

Abstract

Currently, the problem of processing various wastes for their further use, such as, for example, sewage sludge, is of considerable interest. The processing itself takes place by burning the sludge to obtain ash, the use of which may further require its additional cleaning from heavy metals. The proposed approach to assessing the composition of ash using a Fourier-transformed infrared spectrometer, express control devices based on NMR and an X-ray spectrometer allows us to qualitatively assess the composition of ash and make informed decisions about its further use, storage and processing.
