Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAccumulation and Movement of Four Potentially Toxic Elements in Soils Throughout Five Years, During and After Biosolid ApplicationMarta Susana Zubillaga, Raúl Silvio LavadoIn this research, we have studied the accumulation of four PTEs (Cadmium, copper, lead and zinc) during and after biosolid application, in two soils with different clay content and their eventual movement with depth. The study was performed in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, on a Typic Argiudoll and on a Typic Hapludoll. Treatments were: control and biosolid application, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,206 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Sewage Sludge in Agricultural Soil as Fertilizer in the Republic of Benin (West Africa): What are the Risks of Heavy Metals Contamination and Spreading?Fidèle Suanon, Lyde A.S. Tomètin, Biaou Dimon et al.Biosolids are the treated organic residuals, also known as sewage sludge, which are generated from domestic wastewater treatment plants. It is an organic matter and nutrients [phosphorous (P) and nitrogen (N)]-rich material. Due to these properties, it is has been reported to be a suitable fertilizer or soil amendment which can valuably replace synthesized NPK. Unfortunately, this matter is heavily … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2016 · 14,496 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProspects of Using Wastewater as a Resource-Nutrient Recovery and Energy GenerationMusfique Ahmed, Chowdhury Kamrul Hasan, Hafizur Rahman et al.It is well understood that both untreated and partially treated wastewater comprise substantial amount of resources, which can be recovered and utilized for different purposes. Since Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) is energy intensive and expensive, substantiating the WWTPs with Resource Recover Technologies (RRTs) will not only save a considerable amount of energy but also make the environment cleaner and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2015 · 8,183 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metal Uptake and Translocation by Dipterocarpus verrucosus from Sewage Sludge Contaminated SoilKeeren Sundara Rajoo, Arifin Abdu, Daljit Karam Singh et al.Sewage sludge or biosolids is the solid waste that has been left after wastewater is treated in a domestic wastewater treatment facility. The most common way of sludge disposal is to dispose it on the land, sea or air (incineration). However, these methods are not environment-friendly, costly and time consuming that requires expertise and knowledge. An ideal way to manage … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 10 Jul 2013 · 7,819 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSewage Treatment Plant Sludge: A Source of Potential Microorganism for Citric Acid ProductionParveen Jamal, Md. Zahangir Alam, M. Ramlan et al.This research emphasizes on the utilization of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) sludge, which is an inexpensive and easily available raw material and a good source for growth of microorganisms because it has enough nutrients and trace elements. This can be considered as an alternative cost effective solution for waste management in addition to the production of a value added product … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 8,933 accessesView PDF Cite
