[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a sludge treatment method that efficiently and uniformly spreads sludge deposited in rivers, swamps, the seabed, etc. onto a landfill site, and at the same time generates the necessary soil bearing capacity. The purpose is to shorten the period required to complete the process.

Conventionally, when expanding a landfill site by pouring pumped mud into the site, as shown in Figure 1, a barrier 1 is built in advance and the inside is drained to form a landfill site 2. 2
A dredger4 removes sludge deposited in rivers, swamps, the seabed, etc.
The mud is pumped up and thrown in.

However, in this method, the dredged sludge 3 is poured into the landfill site 2 through the 11 sludge drainage pipe 5, so the pumped sludge 6 has no soil bearing capacity at all, and after the sludge is pumped, a wetland bulldozer enters the landfill site. However, it takes about two years after the paper drain machine is installed, and the cost of landfilling is therefore enormous.

As mentioned above, in short, the present invention provides for the following:
A conveyor is installed to transport the mud, and 1 area containing dredged water is installed.
A hardening agent is injected into the pumped mud of step 1 to solidify the pumped mud, and while this solidification is progressing, the pumped mud is conveyed by the conveyor, and the separated water is collected and discharged outside the landfill site. Upon completion or after completion, the conveyor is rotated from side to side while sequentially introducing the solidified mud into the landfill site from the end of the conveyance path of the conveyor and from a midway point, thereby uniformly dispersing the solidified mud into the landfill site. It is.

Therefore, most of the mud-containing water lifted during dredging will be discharged outside the landfill site as separated water due to coagulation, and only a small amount of residual water will enter the landfill site, which will result in faster solidification. Therefore, the bearing capacity of the soil can be improved at an early stage.
