Sludge is a mixture of liquids and solids generated during the treatment of wastewater. It contains water along with different organic materials, chemicals, pathogens, and diverse microorganisms. The sludge produced by different industries comprise pollutants (heavy metals, pathogens, and organic pollutants) and compounds of agricultural value (organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur). The treatment of sludge depends on the pollution load of the treated water and the technical characteristics of the sludge. The market for industrial sludge treatment can be considered an emerging market due to the rapid industrialization and the need for fresh and clean water across the globe.
