In most wastewater treatment processes large quantities of soids and sludge (refuse) are produced that must be disposed of. Such refuse is a complex mixture of substances, both physically and chemically. The properties of solid waste streams generated during the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters are summarized, and alternatives for their treatment and final disposal are reviewed. The main alternatives currently used for the management of these wastes, such as conditioning, thickening (sedimentation and flotation), and dewatering (evaporation and centrifugation) are described along with relevant process-performance parameters.
