Abstract
The disposal of sludge from wastewater treatment process presents increasingly difficult problems to highly urbanized cities. Incineration might be a feasible alternative solution for sludge disposal, providing a means of producing a reduced volume of sterile, odorless, inorganic ash. The feasibility of using de‐watered sludge mixed with lime to produce a cementlike material after incineration is studied, and the properties of cement made from sludge are investigated. Evaluation of compressive strengths of the mortar cubes indicates that it is possible to produce cement from sludge that will satisfy the strength requirements in the ASTM standard for masonry cement.Keywords
