in this work, the waste stone sludge obtained from the granite and marble stone processing factories was used for the manufacture of artificial stones using vibratory compaction in a vacuum environment. the results obtained showed that water absorption and density increased, and the flexure, compressive, and tensile strengths decreased with increase in the content of the waste stone sludge. the...

background: composting as a waste management technology is becoming more widespread. the purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and to find the most effective composting process for the ratio of green waste, digested and dewatered sludge from chonibieh wastewater treatment plant in the west region of ahvaz. methods: the composting time was 23 days and the evaluated parameters in th...

Inhibition of the respiration microbial activity in the activated sludge caused by heavy metal concentrations (Cr, Cd, Cu and Ni) was studied by means of respirometric method using Strathtox respirometer (Strathkelvin Glasgow).The studied sludge samples were obtained from the two waste water treatment plants with different types of pollution (municipal waste water and domestic waste water). Key...

Treatment of domestic waste is generally carried out by activated sludge process. The waste solid sludge can be treated by various aerobic and anaerobic treatment processes. Aerobic treatment methods need space and time. Anaerobic treatments have advantages such as space utilization and production of fuel gases such as methane. Up flow anaerobic sludge digester or fluidized bed digester can be ...

Management of solid wastes is considered as an economic and environmental issue in the building stone industry. The current study uses raw and calcined calcareous sludge, generated in the stone cutting factories, in order to remove sulfur dioxide. Sludge characterization has been performed, using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-d...

Municipal sewage sludge is a solid, semisolid, or liquid muddy looking residue that results after plain old sewage (human and other waste from households and industries) is treated at a waste water treatment plant. Recent restrictions on the use of sewage sludge, however, have resulted in increased disposal problems. Sludge contains a variety of organic and inorganic compounds in the waste wate...

aim : to evaluate the role of  endoscopic ultrasonography (eus) in the diagnosis of gallbladder microlithiasis, sludge, and stone  in patients with clinical suspicion of cholecystitis, but with normal transabdominal ultrasonography (tus) during six months follow-up after laparosopic cholecystectomy (lct). background : endosonography has been shown to be highly sensitive in the detection of chol...

The nature and behavior of the microbial population developed on a synthetic waste containing salts and sorbitol are compared to that of a treatment-plant activated sludge. The population of the adapted sludge developed on the synthetic waste consisted approximately of only six kinds of bacteria. Experiments with radioactive sorbitol indicate that the microbial population developed on the synth...
