WHAT DOES BIOSOLID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

biosolid

Sludge

Sludge refers to the residual, semi-solid material left from industrial wastewater, or sewage treatment processes. It can also refer to the settled suspension obtained from conventional drinking water treatment, and numerous other industrial processes. The term is also sometimes used as a generic term for solids separated from suspension in a liquid; this 'soupy' material usually contains significant quantities of 'interstitial' water. In the industrialized world, cities in particular have had a difficult time dealing with sewage waste. In 1992, a United States ban on ocean dumping of human sewage sludge went into effect, leaving cities the expensive option of having to dispose sewage waste in landfills. Seeing as sewage contains not only heavy metals and disease pathogens such as Clostridium difficile but nutrients as well, companies such as Synagro embraced the nutrient idea and marketed sludge as "biosolids" to farmers as a free fertilizer. When fresh sewage or wastewater is added to a settling tank, approximately 50% of the suspended solid matter will settle out in an hour and a half.
