Sewage sludge is frequently considered either as a potentially dangerous waste costly to eliminate or as a cheap resource that can be applied on agricultural
Heterogeneities in the distribution of surfactants at an interface between two fluids create a gradient of interfacial tension, which triggers the Marangoni effect, i.e., a bulk flow
After an accurate quantitative analysis that has taken also into account the defects background induced by the TEM sample preparation, we observed that these defects dissolve
in the theoretical section, but replace the equilibrium contact angles by the static angle corresponding to the direction of motion of the line considered I,e, advancing angle. £p

The two main findings are that (i) the apparent contact angle depends on the capillary number in the same way as for a pure liquid, but with an apparent viscosity which depends on
self-similar shape during spreading, which is approximately true for sessile drops, cannot be used for hanging drops, for which no theory is available.. We propose a
begin to form (Fig. The number of these sinusoidal contact line oscillations remains constant as the drop flattens. We have studied the dynamics of spreading of silicone oils
