Carbonization and reuse possibilities of domestic and industrial sewage sludge

Abstract

Sewage sludge disposing methods in Turkey are generally sanitary landfill, land farming and incineration. The increasing numbers of wastewater treatment plants depends on industrialization the increasing amounts of sewage sludge problems. On this occasion, working on reusing of sewage sludge becomes more popular in European Community [1] with limited usage on farming. Pyrolysis is one of the developing technologies applied to make an usable materials from sewage sludge. For this reason, potential of adsorbent production from raw material was investigated in this study.
