Abstract

The aim of this work is to propose some alternatives to the landfilling of metallic hydroxide sludge coming from the classical physico-chemical treatment of liquid wastes containing metallic cations. A downstream treatment was investigated. It consists of a selective leaching of filter-press cakes. This chemical treatment allows the elimination of toxic metals from the sludge and produces an inertized residue. An upstream treatment was studied: the selective precipitation of metallic cations. In this case, it is possible to obtain zinc sulfide and iron oxide. These products meet the acceptance conditions for the zinc and steel industry.

Successful recycling for sludge and solid waste

Conference Kovacik, T

We have mixed digested primary sewage sludge with undigested, thickened waste activated sludge, dewatered in polymer conditioned belt presses, and add lime and cement kiln dust in post press operations. For at least seven days the combined mixture is aerated. The product is far more community acceptable than traditional sludge cake, and is clearly environmentally safe and meets the most stringent new regulatory controls. Even when the kiln dust treated sludge was stressed to a pH of 4, which is far more acidic than would be expected in agricultural soils, the sludge/kiln dust mixture easily met EPA criteria.

Chemical stability of acid rock drainage treatment sludge and implications for sludge management

Journal Article McDonald, Danny; Webb, John; Taylor, Jeff - Environmental Science and Technology

To assess the chemical stability of sludges generated by neutralizing acid rock drainage (ARD) with alkaline reagents, synthetic ARD was treated with hydrated lime (batch and high-density sludge process), limestone, and two proprietary reagents (KB-1 and Bauxsol). The amorphous metal hydroxide sludge produced was leached using deionized water, U.S. EPA methods (toxicity characteristic leaching procedure, synthetic precipitation leaching procedure), and the new strong acid leach test (SALT), which leaches the sludge with a series of sulfuric acid extractant solutions; the pH decreases by {approximately} 1 pH unit with each test, until the final pH is {approximately}2. Sludges precipitated by allmore »« less

Water1977 (dewatering of sludges from oil fired electric power generating plants)

Journal Article Zuckerman, M; Peltier, R - AIChE Symp. Ser.; (United States)

Pollutants removed from wastewaters from power generating plants produce sludges that are usually deposited in landfill sites. Since the cost of hauling and disposal increases as the amount of sludge increases, sludge generation volume is an important consideration in evaluating the economic feasibility of a treatment system. Sludge volume is a function of the chemical composition of wastewater streams, the chemicals used for treatment, and the equipment used for sludge dewatering. Laboratory and pilot plant tests of plant waste sludges were conducted to aid in selecting a chemical precipitant for pollutant removal, and to compare the advantages and drawbacks ofmore »« less
Wastewater sludge conditioning by fly ash

Journal Article Wang, X; Viraraghavan, T - Waste Management

Conditioning wastewater sludge from the City of Regina Wastewater Treatment Plant by fly ash from Boundary Dam Power Station, Saskatchewan, Canada, was studied. Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), equilibrium leach test (ELT), and long-term leaching test (LTLT) were used to investigate the leachability of heavy metals. Results from these leaching tests indicated that, on the basis of concentrations of microorganisms and heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn), the sludge produced at the Regina Wastewater Treatment Plant conditioned by the locally available fly ash can be disposed of in landfills and used as a soil conditioner for land application.more »« less

Vitrification as an alternative to landfilling of tannery sewage sludge

Journal Article Celary, Piotr; Sobik-Szołtysek, Jolanta - Waste Management

Highlights: • The possibility of vitrification of tannery sewage sludge was investigated. • Glass cullet was substituted with different wastes of mineral character. • Component ratio in the processed mixtures was optimized. • Environmental safety of the acquired vitrificates was verified. • An alternative management approach of usually landfilled waste was presented. - Abstract: Due to high content of heavy metals such as chromium, tannery sewage sludge is a material which is difficult to be biologically treated as it is in the case of organic waste. Consequently, a common practice in managing tannery sewage sludge is landfilling. This poses amore »« less
