Pyrolysis of sewage sludge and heavy metal elimination for phosphorus recycling

Original titleKlärschlamm-Pyrolyse und Schwermetallentfrachtung zum Phosphor-Recycling
Abstract

In this research project, a process to recycle phosphorus from sewage sludge is evaluated. The process consists of a pyrolysis at a medium temperature in combination with a decoupled removal of heavy metals, and is evaluated in terms of its economic efficiency. In an extensive study on plant availability, it is tested how effective the products are as fertilizers. Additionally, a strategy for an approval procedure according to the fertiliser regulation is developed.
