Engineering Properties and Landfill of Stabilized Sludge

The present environmental regulations in China require sludge to be disposed of in a safe and environmentally sound manner. This paper presented an investigation on methods to stabilize wastewater sludge and stability evaluation of stabilized sludge landfill. Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the feasibility of solidifying and stabilizing sludge using fly ash, lime, and clay at varied mixing ratios. Geotechnical properties of stabilized sludge were studied. The test results revealed that the strength of stabilized sludge increased with curing time and the decrease of moisture content. Significant increases in strength were achieved to math suitability for disposal in landfills and a stabilization method was selected based on cost and availability of material. The stability of landfill slope was studied and an optimum slope ratio balancing the safety and economy was presented.
