Detection of Valuable Material-Protein, in Faecal Sludge

Abstract

This work focuses on detection of protein, as a valuable resource or material recovery, from faecal sludge. This would open up business prospects for recovering valuable materials from scrap, paving the door for cost-effective and long-term sanitation. Proteins from faecal sludge have been attempted to be detected using sludge samples obtained from the Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant. The presence of protein was confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX).
