A novel strategy for waste activated sludge treatment

Recovery of structural extracellular polymeric substances and fermentative production of volatile fatty acids

Structural extracellular polymeric substances (SEPS) as valuable biopolymers, can be extracted from waste activated sludge (WAS). However, the extraction yield is typically low, and detailed information on SEPS characterizations, as well as proper treatment of the sludge after SE ...
Persulfates ((peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS)) can disintegrate waste activated sludge (WAS), but their influence on volatile fatty acid (VFA) production during anaerobic fermentation is largely unclear. Particularly, it is unknown whether persulfates can improv ...
In recent years, volatile fatty acid (VFA) production through anaerobic fermentation of sewage sludge, instead of methane production, has been regarded as a high-value and promising roadmap for sludge stabilization and resource recovery. This review first presents the effects of ...
The pyrolysis characteristics and kinetics of pre-dried dewatered sewage sludge under different heating rates (10, 20, and 30 °C/min) were investigated by thermogravimetric analyzer-fourier transform infrared analysis (TG-FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and a h ...
