The proper management of the sludge generated in water treatment plants (WTPs) is a challenge that is still current worldwide, given that, in most cases, they are still being disposed of in landfills. The desire reversibility of the material encounters obstacles associated with its composition, the low energy potential and the limited capacity to substitute natural aggregates, which in ma…
Nowadays, one of the biggest challenges of urban areas is managing the solid waste produced by many anthropogenic activities, demanding an integrated solution (behavioral, technical and tecnologies), in order to find a safe destination and minimize any environmental impact. Among the daily waste produced by the communities are those resulting from the water treatment to the public supply,…
Sludges generated in water treatment plants are classified in Brazil as not dangerous solid residues and its destination, under the generator's responsibility, is generally, carried out in sanitary landfills and even irregularly in watercourses. Studies related to beneficial uses are in early stages and, in general, are made at bench scales without addressing the potential environmental i…
Population growth stimulates the expansion of water supply services and, consequently, the production of sludge at Water Treatment Plants (DWTPs). Due to its physical and chemical characteristics, the untreated disposal of these sludges is harmful to the environment. Despite this, in Brazil, the common practice of most of these stations is the launch of DWTP sludge, without any previous t…
The increase in consumption patterns has led to quantitative growth and heterogeneity of municipal solid waste (MSW), favoring the emergence of serious health problems. The National Solid Waste Policy (NSWP) establishes the characterization of solid waste as mandatory content of the Municipal Solid Waste Management Plans (MSWMP). This characterization is the process that identifies the qu…
Construction is an important activity to increase population's quality of life in developing countries, whether by implementing infrastructure projects or by constructing new houses. The activity also provides employment and income, including for populations with lower levels of literacy. In its formal market, Brazilian construction activities have great representation in the national GDP…
