DISPOSAL OF WOOL SCOURING SLUDGE BY COMPOSTING
John Pearson, Fen Lu, Kimti Gandhi- General Materials Science
Abstract Disposal of wool scouring sludge is becoming more problematical, due to the need to satisfy environmental legislation concerning what is regarded as hazardous waste, and to the increasing cost of landfill and the scarcity of landfill sites. Composting the sludge to produce a safe, saleable product could be a viable alternative.
