Abstract

The quality of sewage sludge depends on many factors and the final disposal is also very diverse. This chapter provides characterization of possible dehydration, stabilization, hygienization, and final disposal of municipal sewage sludge, including indication of barriers in the use of specific technologies and providing common reuse strategies. The chapter also shows that the potential of sewage sludge is still largely untapped while the resource recovery from sewage sludge is promising. The paper also reviews and evaluates ways of collecting data on quantity, quality, methods of sewage sludge treatment, and disposal. The existing problems have also been identified with regard to the management of sewage sludge in the sewage treatment areas (legal, economic, technical, and environmental issues).
