Development of the beneficial utilisation of urban sewage sludge using modern analysis methods

Abstract

The article presents Russian and foreign experience in the recycling of sludge of urban sewage wastewater with the prospect of the beneficial use of both the direct waste and the products of its processing. Special attention is also paid to the problem of recycling of ashes of sewage sludge incineration. The article also considers the possibility of applying modern methods of analysis (such as X-ray fluorescence analysis, spectroscopy, biotesting) to develop a composition of the ash-based soil mixture. The study is realized on the laboratory and experimental base of the accredited Center for the collective use of high-tech equipment of Saint-Petersburg Mining University (as a part of state task for 2018-2019 year).

Utilization of sewage sludge as an ameliorant for reclamation of technogenically disturbed lands

“…экономически успешных подходов и технологий в области рекультивации техногенно-нарушенных земель. Одним из актуальных направлений в рекультивации земель объектов горной промышленности является использование нетрадиционных удобрений (мелиорантов), сформированных на основе осадков сточных вод (ОСВ) [37] для восстановления -карьеров [9,21], отвалов [15,20], хвостохранилищ [12].…”
