Biosolids management strategies: an evaluation of energy production as an alternative to land application

Tipo de material: TextoTextoSeries ; Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 20(7), p.4299-4310, 2013Trabajos contenidos:
  • Egan, M
Tema(s): Recursos en línea: Resumen: Currently, more than half of the biosolids produced within the USA are land applied. Land application of biosolids introduces organic contaminants into the environment. There are potential ecological and human health risks associated with land application of biosolids. Biosolids may be used as a renewable energy source. Nutrients may be recovered from biosolids used for energy generation for use as fertilizer. The by-products of biosolids energy generation may be used beneficially in construction materials. It is recommended that energy generation replace land application as the leading biosolids management strategy.
