Application of Natural Zeolite in Wastewater Treatment Technology: Thermal Treatment Technology : Thermal Treatment of sewage sludge by flash pyrolysis (R-1318)

Zeolites are aluminosilicate minerals with rigid, 3-dimensional crystalline structure(similar to a honeycomb) consisting of a network of interconnected cavities. The framework aluminium and silicon are bound to each other through shared oxygen atoms. Part I : Nutrients removal by natural zeolite. Results of the first part, focused on nutrients removal by natural zeolite, can be divided into 5 chapters First chapter : the potential of natural zeolite in the field of ammonia removal by ion-exchange is determined. Second chapter :mechanism of phosphorus removal was studied Third chapter : focus on the effect of natural zeolite on anaerobic digestion. Fourth chapter :utilization of natural zeolite during fermentation of three different types of sludge. Fifth chapter : experiments with bio-filters Part II : Flash pyrolysis of sewage sludge.
