This project explores anaerobic bioleaching as a method to treat sewage sludge, aiming to enhance the recovery of heavy metals and improve subsequent anaerobic digestion efficiency. By utilizing specific microbes, the project seeks to optimize sludge treatment and promote nutrient availability for microorganisms involv…
During wastewater treatment, a significant amount of sewage sludge (SS) is generated as a by-product, with an estimated production in Europe alone of 2 bio tons/yr. SS use as fertilizer and anaerobic digestion are 2 disposal routes that comply with current legislative guidelines on waste disposal and environment.
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is widely applied, resulting in volume reduction and biogas production.
However, high heavy metal (HM) contents in SS impede the use of raw SS or AD effluent to…
