Remediation and Management of Sewage Sludge

Abstract

In recent times, along with urbanization, the population of the city is also increasing rapidly. In this regard, the discharge of municipal sewage is increasing year by year, which is a worrying situation for living beings as well as the environment. In fact, wastewater is an important by-product of modern industry and contributes significantly to polluting the aquatic environment. Its sources are based on many industries and anthropogenic pollutants. The nature of wastewater is organic and inorganic. Many harmful pollutants especially heavy metals are present in sewage sludge and wastewater. Phytoremediation has become a significant experimental and practical strategy to use plants to remove heavy metals from sewage waters, sludges, spillage sites, and polluted places.
