Humic substances (HS) is one of the main organic components of biowaste with high
molecular weight and aromaticity. There is a growing concern that HS will hinder the …

Waste activated sludge (WAS), the major by-product of wastewater treatment plants, has
been hugely produced with the increase of wastewater treatment capacity. Anaerobic …

The expanding use of chitosan in sewage and sludge treatment processes raises concerns
about its potential environmental impacts. However, investigations of the impacts of chitosan …

Humic-like acids (HAs) are abundant in sewage sludge but mainly bonded with solids. Thus,
their influences are often neglected in conventional digestion processes. Currently thermal …

Anammox-based process provides an alternative for the sustainable treatment of
incineration leachate that has high-load ammonium and high residual heat, but the high …

Understanding the composition and reactivity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) at
molecular level is vital for deciphering potential regulators or indicators relating to anaerobic …

Sodium percarbonate (SPC), a harmless and economical inorganic peroxide, has recently
attracted increasing attention in pollutant degradation and sludge treatment. However, the …

Utilising 'wastes' as 'resources' is key to a circular economy. While there are multiple routes
to waste valorisation, anaerobic digestion (AD)—a biochemical means to breakdown …

Urine wastewater derived from source separation technology was employed to pretreat
waste activated sludge (WAS) for anaerobic digestion in this study. In comparison to the …

Thermal hydrolysis pretreatment (THP) has been widely applied to promote anaerobic
digestion (AD). Humic acids (HAs) are a group of insoluble organics and often present in the …
