Project title Waste to resource conversion from lime-dried sewage sludge particles Project Leader & Organization Dr Yijiao Jiang – Macquarie University Project Parties: Macquarie University JITRI Project Start Date: July 2018 Project End Date: June 2022 Project Description As described in Appendix B Project Summary As a semi-solid residue from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), sewage sludge is soaring worldwide along with the rapid development of WWTPs. It contains valuable resources, such as abundant nutrition and high calorific value, which can be recovered for diverse economic, social, and environmental purposes. However, there are also some drawbacks limiting the wide utilisation of sewage sludge, such as high moisture content, pathogens, odour, and hazardous substances. Lime drying technique has been demonstrated to effectively reduce the moisture content, destroy pathogens, eliminate odour, and stabilize hazardous substances. Nevertheless, it is highly challenging to directly
