Mechanical disintegration of sewage sludge

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2001
Mechanical disintegration can be used for an accelerated and improved anaerobic digestion of excess sludge. The hydrolysis is the limiting step of this process. Mechanical disintegration can be used to disrupt the cell walls and to cause the release of the organic material from the cells.

Biomethane production improvement by enzymatic pretreatments and enhancers of sewage sludge anaerobic digestion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Enzymatic hydrolysis is recognised as an effective pre-treatment for increasing biodegradability of sludge. In this work, isolated commercial enzymes as well as in-situ enzymes producer bacteria were used respectively as enhancers and pre-treatments of ...

Bioleaching as an Eco‐Friendly Nano‐Factory for Sustainable Inorganic Waste Management: Current Advancements, Challenges, and Opportunities

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
The review explores the latest updates and information about the global trends and hazards of e‐waste and also discusses the bioleaching of metals and nanoparticles from various inorganic wastes. It also focuses on the mechanistic pathway of the bioleaching process and computational aspects. Inorganic waste management and metal recovery technology pose

Unsafe Sewage Sludge or Beneficial Biosolids?: Liability, Planning, and Management Issues Regarding the Land Application of Sewage Treatment Residuals [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Commentators have identified fear of liability as a major deterrent to the widespread land application of sewage sludge. Liability issues regarding land application include not only legal liability, but also market liability as a result of negative ...

How safe are peat‐free growing media? An exploration of plant pathogen risks to the horticultural industry and recommendations for risk mitigation

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The UK's horticultural industry is shifting from reliance on unsustainable peat‐based growing media to products that contain alternative constituents, including coir, bark, wood fibre and composted green waste. Some peat‐alternatives carry an elevated risk of harbouring plant pathogens, including the potential to introduce novel pathogens from overseas,

Soil microbial biomass and community structure affected by repeated additions of sewage sludge in four Swedish long-term field experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Soil organic matter is a key attribute of soil fertility. The pool of soil organic C can be increased, either by mineral fertilisers or by adding organic amendments such as sewage sludge.

Process safety at anaerobic digestion sites and its workplace impact: A rapid review

open access: yesProcess Safety Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Anaerobic digestion (AD) is important for the developing green/circular economy and is widely used to process different organic wastes and to capture emitted methane. This greenhouse gas can then be used to generate energy. There are over 700 operational AD facilities across the United Kingdom, excluding water treatment plants, a number ...
