Abstract
In this study, physical and chemical characteristic of the treatment sludge obtained byBergama- Ovac1k treatment plant and the possibility to evaluate them in glass industry wereinvestigated, In this treatment plant, 277,882 tons of sludge is annually produced. Thechemical composition of the waste sludge's is determined by gravimetric method and it isexamined by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) and Fourier TransformInfrared Spectrophotometer (FT-IR) equipments. The chemical composition of the treatmentsludge showed that it is potential to be used in a glass industry to produce Borosilicate glassand Flat glass with the addition of chemical substances. In order to examine the compositionof the samples, their analyses were made by (FT-IR) and (XRF) equipments,
