    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Microbiology
    • Agricultural Science

    Background:

    • Sewage sludge poses environmental and health risks due to pathogen content.
    • Safe disposal and beneficial reuse of sewage sludge are critical challenges.
    • Lime treatment is a potential method for sludge hygienization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of lime products in treating and sanitizing sewage sludge.
    • To determine the impact of lime application on pathogen reduction in sludge.
    • To assess the suitability of lime-treated sludge for agricultural reuse.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of quicklime, slaked lime, and dolomitic lime to sewage sludge.
    • Monitoring of temperature and pH changes during the sludge-lime mixing process.

  • Assessing the reduction in concentration and viability of pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, parasites).

    • Main Results:

    • Lime application significantly increased sludge temperature and pH.
    • A substantial reduction in the concentration and viability of various pathogens was observed.
    • The treated sludge met safety criteria for agricultural application.

    Conclusions:

    • Lime treatment is an effective method for sewage sludge hygienization.
    • The use of quicklime, slaked lime, and dolomitic lime ensures pathogen inactivation.
    • Lime-treated sludge can be safely applied to agricultural land, promoting resource recovery.
