Assessment of Sludge Utilization Technologies-A Case of Tianjin Qingninghou Landfill

摘要

As the increasing rate of municipal sewage treatment, the reuse, disposal, and management of sewage sludge generated by wastewater treatment have become an issue of public concern due to the substantial quantity of sludge generated in China. On the basis of summarizing technologies of sludge disposal at home and abroad, the paper sampled and analyzed pH, moisture content, nutrition contents and heavy metal contents in sludge from Tianjin Qingninghou landfill, to assess the possible utilization technologies. The testing results showed that the concentrations of Cu, approximately 1790.97mg?kg~(-1), was so high that sludge can not be reused from Dongli wastewater treatment plant, while dredged sediment from Dagu River could be used in co-landfilling, land improvement of neutral and alkaline soil, the production of cement clinker, as well as further dewatered and dried sludge from Jizhuangzi, Xianyang Road and Beichen wastewater treatment plant. In addition, sludge could be used for acid soil improvement and making brick from Jizhuangzi and Beichen, to extend life of the landfill and achieve the goal of sustainable development.
