Sewage sludge in China has several unique characteristics as follows: (a) high WC; (b) low volatile organic content; (c) high ash content; (d) low calorific value. A summary of ultimate and proximate analysis of sludge including municipal sludge and industrial sludge (e.g., oil sludge and tannery sludge) in China is shown in Table 8 .

The output of sewage sludge has been increasing in recent years in China. Traditional treatment methods, such as incineration and landfilling, cannot meet the requirement of sustainability in various industries. As one of the efficient recycling methods for sewage sludge, previous studies have proven that sewage sludge ash (SSA) can …

In this study, two typical solid wastes, incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA) and waste bentonite, were co-valorised to produce granular adsorbents through a simple and energy-saving pelletisation/sintering process. A mixture of ISSA and bentonite at a weight ratio of 3:1 was pelletised and sintered at 700 °C. The resultant ceramsite, with ...

Sewage sludge ash is primarily a silty material with some sand-size particles. The specific size range and properties of the sludge ash depend to a great extent on the type of …

Fang et al. (2020) used Mg/Ca modified biochar to absorb phosphorus in the acid extract of incineration sewage sludge ash for fertilization. Further research suggested that the modified biochar enhanced soil nutrient circulation and organic matter decomposition, improved the germination index of plant seeds, and promoted plant …

Sewage sludge ash (SSA) is the by-product produced during the combustion of dewatered sewage sludge in an incinerator. Sewage sludge ash is primarily a silty material with some sand-size particles. The specific size range and properties of the sludge ash depend to a great extent on the type of incineration system and the chemical …

Sewage sludge incineration is extensively practiced in some European countries such as the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. A survey of German sewage sludge ash showed that the recovery potential is high, approx. 19,000 t of phosphorus per year. However, the survey also discovered that the bioavailability of …

Sewage sludge ash. Sewage sludge ashes were collected at Lynettefællesskabet, Copenhagen, Denmark, in June 2012. This plant mono-incinerates sewage sludge from about 500,000 PE. In this WWTP, the process of P precipitation is initially done in a Bio-P tank followed by the addition of iron salt. The sludge is …

However, significant amounts of P are functionally lost when wastewater byproducts, such as biosolids or sewage sludge incinerator ash (SSA), are not beneficially reused. Around 20% of sewage sludge produced in the US is incinerated and nearly 25% of sewage sludge is incinerated in European Union member countries. SSA contains significant ...

The post-treatment mixture comprised 98% sand and 2% ash. The phosphorus content initially present in the sludge was 26,000 mg/kg-dry sludge, split 57/43 (±5%) as organic/inorganic. Following smouldering of the sludge/sand, 78% of phosphorus was retained by solids and the other 22% was recoverable from process emissions.

For the first time, the thermochemical treatment of sewage sludge ash made by using microwaves, associated with a devoted patented chamber, was realised. It promotes the formation of bioavailable CaNaPO 4 compound, offering a new breakthrough in recovering phosphorus from sewage sludge ash and providing new possibilities in …

Sewage sludge can be used in biocement production via two different processes: (1) by blending its incinerated ash with Portland cement or (2) by co-combustion of sewage …

Sewage sludge ash (SSA) contains relatively high contents of aluminosilicate materials and can be a precursor for geopolymers. This study aims to characterize a local SSA as a precursor to develop geopolymer mortar. Chemical and leaching analysis found no significant adverse environmental implications of the SSA. …

Sewage sludge char ash can be used as alternative P source. Abstract Phosphorus was recovered from the ash obtained after combustion at different temperatures (600 °C, 750 °C and 900 °C) and after gasification (at 820 °C using a mixture of air and steam as fluidising agent) of char from sewage sludge fast pyrolysis carried out at 530 °C.

Sewage sludge ash (SSA) has attracted research attention in many countries due to environmental regulations concerning disposal and the presence of heavy metals …

Phosphorus (P) recovery from incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA) has been extensively investigated, but insufficient research has been conducted to evaluate the effect of different kinds of recovered phosphate fertilizers (RPFs) on plant growth with respect to the P and heavy metal contents of RPFs. In this study, three kinds of RPFs, …

One ton of dewatered sewage sludge is estimated to be converted into 100 kg sewage sludge ash (SSA) if effective incineration is achieved (Nakić et al. 2017). SSA is classified according to the European waste catalog with the code of 19 01 13 and defined as fly ash with a hazardous substance (Kappel et al. 2017 ).

The ash composition is similar to that of sewage sludge ash from other water treatment facilities [2–4]. To determine the crystalline phases, the sewage sludge ash was analyzed with a DRON-UM2 powder X-ray diffractometer equipped using an X-ray tube with Cu Kα radiation at a 0.05° step in the interval 2θ = 10°–80°. The phases were ...

The wastewater treatment process generates large amounts of P-rich organic waste (sewage sludge (SS)). The direct application of SS in agriculture, being controversial, is gradually being replaced by incineration, leading to the concentration of both P and heavy metals in the solid residual-sewage sludge ash (SSA). The novel closed-loop, cradle-to …
