Abstract
A possibility of the some toxic compounds elimination using the excessive active sludge (EAS) from the wastewater biotreatment stage has been investigated. The sludge exhibits high adsorptive ability and can capture and firmly fix large amounts of various toxic compounds. On the other hand, high proteins content in EAS allows its utilization as part of the cementing composition at concrete construction blocks and the pavement slabs production. Determined results show that addition of 5–10% of EAS provides the account small loss of the products mechanic durability. Therefore, this technology can be used for the ecologically safe utilization of the sludge with the adsorbed toxicants.
