Opis

New stringent regulations regarding sludge treatment and disposal as well as social and environmental concerns have resulted in a considerable impetus on sludge management authorities to re-evaluate their sludge management approaches, as well as to develop strategies to manage the waste sludge in a sustainable manner. This has resulted in a comprehensive look on the existing and emerging sludge management practices. This book is intended to benefit the practitioners from private and government organization, academicians, researchers and students about all scientific and technical aspects of sludge management and is entirely dedicated to the field of sludge management. The proposed book is also covering sludge management related fields i.e. Sludge characteristics, Conventional methods of sludge treatment, New developments in sludge treatment, Sludge minimization technologies, Sludge handling problems, and Sludge as a resource of value added products.
