During the dewatering process of sludge, many conditioning technologies can effectively destroy the sludge flocs to release organic matters and bound water, so as to improve the dewaterability. Hence, the compositions of organic matters, especially the hydrophobic and hydrophilic organics, should be determined to evaluate the sludge …

By enzymatic hydrolsis it is possible to modify the hydrophilic, water-retaining organic compounds of the sludge in order to reduce its water content. Enzymes improve mechanical dewatering in common belt-type filter presses or decanters in combination with flocculation by means of special flocculating aids. This content is only available as a PDF.

Although ultrasonic pretreatment shows an improvement for sludge dewatering, some research promotes the coupling effect of ultrasound with chemical methods together with the implementation of additives for improved effects (Ruiz et al., 2013). Undoubtedly, sludge dewatering is an important issue that is in the sights of the scientific community ...

The results show that LDH can effectively improve the dewatering performance of sludge and its structure is the key to affecting conditioning performance. LDH can promote the aggregation of EPS (mainly proteins and polysaccharides) by …

Electrochemically activated PMS could oxidize extracellular polymeric substances in sludge to enhance sludge dewaterability. electrolysis zero-valent iron, …

The Fe(II)-S 2 O 8 2− oxidation pretreatment demonstrated an excellent performance in enhancing sludge dewatering capacity (up to 76 %); more importantly, besides the targeted domestication effect on the microbial community in the sludge dependent on the original sludge, and Fe(II)-S 2 O 8 2− oxidation can also be effective to crack the ...

Thermal hydrolysis is becoming a crucial approach to enhance the level of sewage sludge resource utilization. Introducing additives became the dominant way to …

Sludge can be thickened to 8-10% total solids. A pump then sends the sludge to the anaerobic digester. At the top of the basin is the scum collector and discharge. A gravity thickener uses gravitational forces to separate water from sludge and is mainly used on primary sludge at plants still using this technology.

It is generally accepted that sludge dewatering is improved by reducing EPS. By knowing their components and role, therefore, the quantity of EPS in sludge can be reduced by using different methods. Extracellular proteins due to being hydrophilic and having a negative charge play the main role in reducing the dewatering, ...

The sludge dewatering performance of the EF-CaO 2 system considerably improved after OA introduction (Fig. 1 a). Wc and SRF decreased to 68.33 % and 4.43 × 10 11 m/kg when OA was dosed at 0.18 g/g TSS partly because OA chelated some iron ions to form highly soluble Fe (n) –oxalate complexes, enabling the cathode to convert …
