Can pyrolysis and composting of sewage sludge reduce the release of traditional and emerging pollutants in agricultural soils? Insights from field and laboratory investigations
Original language description
The potential extractability, crop uptake, and ecotoxicity of conventional and emerging organic and metal(loid) contaminants after the application of pre-treated (composted and pyrolysed) sewage sludges to two agricultural soils were evaluated at field and laboratory scale. Metal(loid) extractability varied with sludge types and pre-treatments, though As, Cu, and Ni decreased universally. In the field, the equivalent of 5 tons per hectare of both composted and pyrolysed sludges brought winter wheat grain metal(loid) concentrations below statutory limits. Carbamazepine, diclofenac, and telmisartan were the only detected organic pollutants in crops decreasing in order of root > shoot > grains, whilst endocrine-disrupting chemicals, such as bisphenol A and perfluorochemicals were heavily reduced by composting (up to 71%) or pyrolysis (up to below detection limit) compared to raw sludges. As a consequence, no detectable concentrations were measured in soils 12 months after field application. This study highlights the potential advantages of processing sewage sludge before soil applications, especially in the context of reducing the mobility of emerging contaminants, though further studies are required on a broad range of soils and crops before land application can be considered.
