Alcance y aplicabilidad

This standard applies to the pollutant control of sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants when used in agricultural lands. It specifically covers the application of sludge products on farmlands, orchards, and pastures. It does not apply to industrial sludge or untreated municipal sludge.

Requisitos técnicos

The standard classifies sludge products into Class A and Class B based on their pollutant concentrations. It specifies maximum limits for heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, lead, chromium, arsenic, nickel, zinc, and copper, as well as mineral oils, benzo(a)pyrene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It defines the permitted agricultural land types for each class. For instance, Class A products can be used on all specified agricultural lands, while Class B is restricted to orchards, pastures, and farmlands not growing edible crops. Manufacturers must strictly adhere to these classification rules to ensure environmental safety. The standard also sets sanitary indicators, including mortality rates for roundworm eggs and fecal coliform limits. Additionally, physicochemical requirements for moisture content, pH, particle size, and organic matter are mandated. Furthermore, it regulates the application dosage. The annual cumulative application must not exceed specified limits, and continuous use on the same plot is restricted to a maximum of 5 years.

Métodos de ensayo

The standard outlines sampling and analytical methods, referencing various national standards such as GB/T 6679 for solid chemical product sampling and CJ/T 221 for municipal wastewater treatment plant sludge testing. It includes methods for heavy metal analysis using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and hygienic indicator testing per GB 7959.
