Evaluation and Characterization of Biosolides from Municipal Residual Waters Treatment Plants in the State of Puebla

Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the biosolids to determine their viability to be applied as fertilizer. Therefore, physicochemical analyzes were carried out to determine their most important characteristics and to determine the potential uses they might have. The disposition of the biosolids demands a very careful handling by the quantity that they reach and by the environmental risks that, in some cases can represent before the possibility of containing polluting substances coming from the treated waters by what is important their characterization to be able to be carried to a composting process.
