Constructed wetlands for sludge treatment: a sustainable technology for sludge management

Abstract

This book gathers experiences on sludge treatments wetlands from different European countries. Design and operation criteria adopted in Europe are here summarised. Focus is put on describing dewatering and mineralisation processes, leading to final biosolids characteristics that makes them appropriate for land application as organic fertilisers and soil conditioners. Finally, economic and environmental aspects are addressed.Postprint (published version
