Enhancement of waste activated sludge dewaterability by ultrasound-activated persulfate oxidation: Operation condition, sludge properties, and mechanisms

Improving the heat transfer properties of waste activated sludge by advanced oxidation processes

The disposal of Waste Activated Sludge is a major problem. The paper presents several disposal routes. The ultimate steps in these routes are indirect drying and subsequent incineration. Although the design of the indirect dryers is straightforward from a required heat input, operating temperature difference between sludge bed and heating medium and the heat transfer coefficient, this coefficie...

lime stabilization of waste activated sludge

background sewage sludge (biosolids) is a byproduct of wastewater treatment that accumulates in large quantities. effective stabilization and disinfection of sewage sludge prior to land application are necessary to not only protect human health, but also to induce the public its benefits and safety. currently, many wastewater treatment plants in iran dispose great amounts of untreated sewage sl...

bioremoval of lead by use of waste activated sludge

biological removal of lead was observed in this study during treatment of synthetic solutions of this heavy metal by a sample of waste activated sludge (was) having mlss concentration of 10000 mg/l. the objective was determining the capability of was in removal of lead in three different conditions of treatment: without any aeration and feeding, by simultaneous aeration and feeding and by aerat...

Adsorption of Cd(II) by Dried Activated Sludge

Improvement in settleability and dewaterability of waste activated sludge by solar photocatalytic treatment in Ag/TiO2-coated glass tubular reactor.

In this study, photocatalysis was used to improve the dewaterability and settleability of waste activated sludge (WAS) by a solar photocatalytic reactor with transparent Ag/TiO2 film as photocatalyst. Specific resistance of filtration (SRF) and sludge volume index (SVI) were used to evaluate WAS dewaterability and settleability, respectively, and the mechanism of photocatalysis was interpreted ...
