Land application of sewage sludge may be the least energy consuming and the most cost-effective means of sludge disposal or utilization. However, the major technical problem with land application of sludge concerns the high concentrations of heavy metals. These metals may be leached and enter the ec

Plant uptake is one of the major pathways by which sludge-borne potentially toxic metals enter the food chain. This study examined the accumulation of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in wheat, carrots and spinach grown on soils from 13 sites previously amended with sewage sludge. Winter wheat, carrots and spi
## Abstract Zeolites have been shown to be effective adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. A natural material from Cuba, containing zeolite, has been used for the removal of several metal ions, namely Cu^2+^, Zn^2+^, and Ni^2+^, to evaluate its potential use as a low‐co
## Abstract The feasibility of bioleaching for removal of heavy metals from dewatered sewage sludge using an iron‐oxidizing bacterium __Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans__ was investigated. The influence of seven process parameters including cell adaptation, total amount and particle size of the sludg
