| Abstract | Sewage sludge (SS) from urban wastewater treatment is still an environmental, economic, and social problem. Current SS management is not consensual, and more alternatives are required to recover some valuable compounds, such as nutrients and organic matter. This study investigates the use of green liquor dregs from the pulp and paper industry-GLDs-as an adjuvant of drying, to develop a product for agronomic applications, focusing on the rheological behavior. The rheological properties were assessed for anaerobically digested sludge (ADS). The limit viscosity of raw ADS was about 0.005 Pa center dot s in the case of 5% TSs (total solids) increasing to 0.51 Pa center dot s for 20% TSs. From the oscillatory tests, the ideal viscous flow below 10% TSs was observed, whereas a viscoelastic-solid behavior was detected for a higher concentration of TSs. The addition of GLDs to the ADS reduced the consistency index, reducing the shear resistance of the material. Rheological assays showed that GLDs may facilitate sludge handling (e.g., extrusion) from the dewatering unit to the dryer. Overall, the addition of GLDs to ADS showed to be a viable option for drying and subsequent soil application. Reusing both residues promote the transition from a linear to a circular economy in the wastewater treatment sector. |
