Abstract:
The present research was carried out to determine the
content of essential macro nutrients (N, P, K and S) as well as Fe, total
organic carbon and total organic matter in textile sludge of Apex Weaving
and Finishing Mills Ltd., Gazipur, Bangladesh and assess its possibility
to use as a soil conditioner or fertilizer in agricultural land. The results
revealed that plant macro nutrients Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P), Potassium
(K) and Sulphur (S) were found in significant amount compared to some
commonly used organic manures. The range of various macro nutrients was
1.53-2.37, 0.09-0.14, 0.11-0.17 and 2.69-3.42% for N, P, K and S, respectively.
The concentration of iron (19.52%) was also very high in the sludge than
that of in soil. Moreover; total organic carbon (19.89%) and total organic
matter (34.67%) were abundantly available in sludge. In addition, thermal
study explores that after 400 °C the sludge was thermally stable and
it was also confirmed by IR study that dried sludge samples showed significant
presence of water at room temperature while the samples heated up to 400
°C, the presence of water was barely indicated.
