The central aim is to explore effective technologies for managing and recovering resources from industrial sludge.
Evaluated various sludge drying technologies across multiple industrial sectors.
Conducted a systematic analysis of sludge production and management capabilities in wastewater treatment plants.
Assessed the performance and sustainability impacts of each drying method.
Significant reduction in volume of sludge by up to 50% using innovative drying technologies (p<0.01).
Enhancement of resource recovery rates, converting up to 70% of sludge into usable materials.
Improved sustainability metrics observed, indicating a potential decrease in landfill reliance.
Abstract
Sludge management has been a major challenge for sustainable infrastructure in a vast variety of industrial sectors as well as municipalities. Produced in large volumes by wastewater treatment plan...
