The Impact of Fly Ash as an Additive on Fertility of Sludge

Abstract

Fly ash and sludge are all solid waste. With fly ash as an additive, sludge is composted in aerobic condition, which can achieve agricultural requirements. After testing, we find that the activity of fly ash can be promoted and stimulated by adding different proportions of activator under alkaline conditions, which has a low activity under conventional conditions. Adding slow-releasing additive, fertility of sludge may keep longer, which has a certain reference value to agricultural fertilizer production.
