Sludge is an inevitable by product of sewage treatment, and it includes pathogens, heavy
metals, organic pollutants and other toxic substances. The components of sludge are …

Abstracts Sewage sludge (mainly composed of excessive bio-sludge) is an inevitable by-
product of biological wastewater treatment process and contains various toxic substances …

Sulfate radicals are well-known for their strong oxidation potential (2.60 V), their high
reaction rate (106–109 M/s) and longer life span (t 1/2= 30–40 μs). Owing to the revealed …

Abstract Sulfate radical (SO 4•−)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have become
promising alternatives in environmental remediation due to the higher redox potential (2.6 …

The increasing amount of sewage sludge produced in wastewater treatment plants
(WWTPs) poses a great challenge to both environment and economy globally. As a requisite …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) have a significant effect on the dewaterability of
waste-activated sludge (WAS); however, the role of polarity distribution (hydrophilic …

In this work, Fe (II) catalyzing sodium percarbonate (Fe (II)/SPC) was managed to facilitate
waste activated sludge (WAS) dewatering for the first time. The results showed that after …

The formation of refractory compounds and high nitrogen concentrations in filtrates is the
bottleneck of hydrothermal treatment (HT) for sludge deep dewatering. To simultaneously …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) of sludge is a heterogeneous mixture of high to low
molecular weight organic substances which is including proteinaceous compounds …

The peroxydisulfate (PDS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is a promising
technology for wastewater treatment and the efficiency primarily depends on the high …
