Analysis of heavy metals in sludge from industrial wastewater treatment plant
The presence of heavy metals in the sludge produced in wastewater treatment plant restricts plants growth hence their use for agricultural purposes. Studies have shown that the sludge is suitable for land application since it rich in nutrients. The aim of this study was detennine the levels ofpotent...
