Abstract

Raw sewage sludge samples collected from Guarchia wastewater treatment plant at Benghazi city have undergone complete evaluation of organic composition parameters including pH, Total Volatile Solid (TVS), Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Phosphorus (TP), Total Organic Matter (TOM) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC). Also, evaluation of some trace metals such as Zn, Cd, Cu and Pb have been performed. Monthly and spatial variations in sludge properties have been described.
