The objective of the paper was to evaluate the fate of 79 adsorbed micropollutants through 9 sludge treatment processes. A specific sampling strategy was applied to follow a “batch” of sludge through the treatment (inlet and outlet sludge, intermediary mixture for some processes such as composting and condensates). Mass balances were established to calculate micropollutants removal efficiencies and the fate of the substances through these facilities was evaluated. In order to limit the uncertainties due to sampling and analysis, strict rules were followed for the calculations. None of the sludge treatment processes evaluated in this project was able to remove the micropollutants measured in the sludge to be treated. Some adsorbed micropollutants were removed from the sludge but other ones were accumulated in the treated sludge, mainly because they were degradation products of other compounds, partly removed during the process. Some of the micropollutants were partly removed by sludge treatments: Solar drying system slightly reduced the hormones concentrations in sludge. The high temperature dryer and the sludge drying reed-bed operated with 14 weeks resting period led to a partial reduction of PAH. The sludge treatment processes studied were able to degrade nonylphenol mono and di-ethoxylates. Composting and the sludge drying reed-bed (14 weeks resting period) were able to remove nonylphenols, but only the thermal drying (high temperature) was able to remove octylphenols. The compartment composting and the sludge drying reed-bed (14 weeks resting period) were the most efficient processes on DEHP, galaxolide, tonalide, di-butylphtalate and triclosan. However, bisphenol A accumulated in the sludge samples during composting. The sludge drying reed bed operated with 14 weeks resting period had much better removal efficiencies than the one operated with 14 days resting period. None of the evaluated sludge treatment was able to remove metals (except mercury that was partly removed by high temperature drying).
