Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the uses and effectiveness of composting sewage sludge, explaining the problem of organic contaminants like nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE). States that "generally, composting accelerates decomposition of organic material and should, therefore, be a useful technique to decrease the concentration of organic contaminants including NPE in waste products." Describes experiments studying "the degradation of NP2EO, NP1EO, and 4-NP in sewage sludge and MSW during composting with special emphasis on the influence of process temperature." Describes the materials and methods used in the composting experiments. States that "composting experiments were done using a lab-scale system consisting of six 10 1 reactors insulated with polyurethane foam...at intervals compost samples were taken for chemical analysis." Reports that "the initial concentrations of NPE in our experiments are much lower than the maximum sludge reported by Madsen et al. (1998)." Concludes that "our study shows that NPEO1, NPEO2 and 4-NP are all degradable under aerobic composting conditions in sewage sludge as well as in municipal solid waste composte, but under extreme thermophilic conditions we observed accumulation of 4-NP in the waste." |
