"The generation of alum sludge in Ireland is inevitable. Its disposal, however amidst decreasing available landfill space coupled with escalating costs and public concerns remains an environmental quagmire. Seeking costeffective and environmentally sustainable disposal alternatives is, as a result, a significant environmental issue. Alum sludge is a by-product of drinking-watertreatment processes in Ireland. It is obtained when aluminium (Al) salts are used as a chemical coagulant. Once alum sludge is dewatered, however, aluminium hydroxides become the dominant constituent, making it possible to reuse the sludge as a valuable raw material in wastewater treatment..." -- Website.
