Scope
Contributions are invited on research, case studies and technological developments
addressing industrial wastewater sludge management and resource recovery. Suggested
themes include:
- Characterization of industrial wastewater sludge and sector‑specific sludge
properties.
- Moisture content, total solids, volatile matter, fixed carbon and ash.
- Calorific value and assessment of sludge as a solid fuel.
- Thermogravimetric analysis and thermal decomposition behaviour.
- Anaerobic digestion, biogas production and biological energy recovery.
- Pyrolysis, gasification, combustion and co‑combustion.
- Pretreatment, dewatering and drying for improved energy recovery.
- Heavy metals, ash characteristics and environmental risks.
- Emission monitoring and air‑pollution control.
- Techno‑economic and environmental assessment of sludge‑to‑energy systems.
- Circular‑economy approaches for industrial wastewater sludge.
- Policy, regulation and strategies for large‑scale implementation.
The symposium particularly welcomes interdisciplinary contributions connecting
wastewater treatment, environmental engineering, energy recovery, pollution control and
sustainable resource management.
