Sustainability Issues Relating to Management of Residuals Derived From Treatment of Wastewater

9908656郝该奖项旨在支持开展一个研讨会，以考虑处理生活和工业废水产生的污泥的过程和系统的工程设计的研究需求。从历史上看，工业和城市废水处理过程产生的污泥的处理和管理费用占管理这些废物总费用的一半以上，以减少其对环境和公众健康的不良影响。考虑与污泥管理有关的研究需要的讲习班的背景涉及到预期的产量增加和污泥组成的变化，以应对现有和新的监管压力的执行。其产品预计将协助工程局将生物复杂性与环境可持续性联系起来，并协助推进国家科学基金会在其战略计划中阐明的研究和教育一体化的承诺

9908656 Hao This is an award to support conduct of a workshop to consider research needs for engineering design of processes and systems to manage sludges derived from the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater. Processing and management of sludges derived from industrial and municipal wastewater treatment processes have historically absorbed more than half of the total cost of managing these wastes to reduce their undesirable impact on environmental and public health. The context of a workshop to consider research needs relating to sludge management relates to anticipated increases in production and changes in composition of sludges in response to enforcement of existing and new regulatory pressures. Its product is expected to assist the Engineering Directorate's relating biocomplexity to environmental sustainability and assist in advancing the National Science Foundation's commitment to integration of research and education as articulated in its strategic plan.***
