Determination of Total Chlorine Content in Sewage Sludge

Sewage sludge is mostly burned for reduction and utilization purposes, and during the burning process, HCl formation occurs due to chlorine in the sludge. Release of HCl into the atmosphere can cause acid rain and damage the chemosphere. In addition, chlorine in the sewage sludge increases the evaporation of heavy metals.

Since it will be more difficult to eliminate heavy metals that evaporate and enter the atmosphere than slag, the amount of chlorine in the sludge should be controlled and precautions should be taken. These reasons show why the Amount of Chlorine in sewage sludge should be known.
