Industrial and Municipal Sludge: Emerging Concerns and Scope for Resource Recovery begins with a characterization of the types of sludge and their sources and management strategies. This section is followed by specific chapters that cover Emerging contaminants in sludge (Endocrine disruptors, Pesticides and Pharmaceutical residues, including illicit drugs/controlled substances), Bioleaching of sludge [with an enriched sulfur-oxidizing bacterial community, Recovery of valuable metals (Bioleaching and use of sulfur-oxidizing bacterial community, and Biogas production by continuous thermal hydrolysis and thermophilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge. In addition, the book includes numerous tables and flow diagrams to help users further comprehend the subject matter.

Section 1: Sludge: Sources and Characterization1. Sludge from waste water treatment plants2. Sludge from pulp, tannery and distillery industries3. Sludge from oil refinery4. Sludge from chemical industry5. Sludge from antibiotic wastewater treatment plants- Fate of antibiotic resistance 6. Earthworms converting milk processing industry sludge into biomanure

Section 2: Sludge Management7. Activation, conditioning and engineering of sludge8. General considerations on sludge disposal 9. Sludge legislation (comparison between different countries)10. Enhanced sludge degradation process using a microbial electrolysis cell11. Sludge dewatering - Processes for enhanced performance12. Rheological characterization of digested sludge

Section 3: Contaminants in Sludge and Treatment strategies13. Ecological and human health risks (general aspects of sludge ecotoxicity and public health)14. Emerging contaminants in sludge (Endocrine disruptors, Pesticides and Pharmaceutical residues, including illicit drugs/controlled substances, etc.)15.

Bioleaching of sludge [with an enriched sulfur-oxidizing bacterial community]17. Sludge as medium for degradation of textile industry effluents

Section 4: Valorization of Sludge as a Resource18. Fertilizer for agriculture/ Manure for agro-forestry Sludge ash to horticultural crops19.
