Electro-dewatering (EDW) of sludge has been regarded as an economical and efficient dewatering method in recent years. There have been some studies on municipal sludge and industrial sludge. However, the effects of industrial sludge with high metal and salty content on the EDW performance are still unclear.
The impacts of pivotal factors on sludge dewatering performance in the ZVSI + SPC system were evaluated (Fig. 1 b). The SRF value of the sludge markedly reduced in response to the augmented ZVSI concentration from 0 to 100 mg/g TS, indicating that the dewaterability of sludge was notably improved with high ZVSI concentrations in the …
In the process of sludge digestion, part of the organic matter is decomposed by anaerobic bacteria under anaerobic conditions, releasing methane and carbon …
The reason why excessive addition of H 2 O 2 caused a negative impact on dewatering performance of sludge might be connected with excessive disintegration of cell membranes. In this case, macro flocs would be broke up, resulting in the production of a large amount of cell debris, which is unfavorable to sludge dewatering.
In China, over 14.3 million tons dewatered sewage sludge, with 80% water content, generated from wastewater treatment plants in 2007. Traditional technologies used by municipal solid waste treatment facilities, such as landfill, composting, incineration, are unsuitable for sludge disposal. High water content is the bottleneck of sludge treatment …
As the essential step for appropriate sludge treatments, dewatering can minimize the sludge volume, facilitate the transportation, increase the efficiency of …
Based on these, the objectives of the present study were to (1) investigate the influence of chemical conditioning with amphoteric polymer PADA on sludge dewatering performance; (2) analyze the effects of PADA characters (anionic degree and molecular weight) on physical (particle size, fractal dimension and surface charge) and chemical (EPS and ...
Intelligent upgrade of waste-activated sludge dewatering process based on artificial neural network model: Core influential factor identification and non-experimental prediction of sludge dewatering performance ... and WAS dewatering performance under certain conditioning schemes could be predicated by ANN model with the multiple …
These two effects help sludge particles gather and form big flocs, thus improve the performance of sludge dewatering. P(AM-DMDAAC) (PDA) is a kind of linear and binary copolymer of CPAMs synthesized by copolymerization of dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (DMDAAC) and acrylamide (AM).
The best performance for sludge dewatering was achieved at pH 4, CaCl 2 dosage 4 mL (23.3 g/kg), B-EPS 8.37 mL (0.93 g/kg) and Al 2 (SO 4) 3 5 mL (150 g/kg). In theory, the SRF could be decreased to 1.26 × 10 12 m/kg. According to the experimental result, the SRF under this condition was 1.54 × 10 12 m/kg. Therefore, the actual value …
Therefore, it can be reasonably speculated that the variation of sludge dewatering performance should be the result of the vector-based relationship of many physicochemical and biochemical factors (Fig. S7). Among them, some factors are unfavorable to sludge dewatering, while others are favorable to it.
