13 Alternative conditioning of aluminium-based drinking water treatment sludge 14 using Fenton reagent (Fe 2+ /H2O2) was examined in this study. Focuses were placed on 15 effectiveness and factors to affect such novel application of Fenton process. 16 Experiments have demonstrated that considerable improvement of alum sludge 17 dewaterability evaluated by capillary suction time (CST) can be obt...

This review concentrates on the effect of activated carbon (AC) addition to membrane bioreactors (MBRs) treating wastewaters. Use of AC-assisted MBRs combines adsorption, biodegradation and membrane filtration. This can lead to advanced removal of recalcitrant pollutants and mitigation of membrane fouling. The relative contribution of adsorption and biodegradation to overall removal achieved by...

Operating and research experiments indicate that the potential benefits of thermal treatment sewage sludge before methane fermentation include increasing biodegradability substrates, reducing amount improving dewaterability fermentate its hygienization, emission odours during stabilization, higher production biogas, energy balance process. The process disintegration (liquefaction) can be carrie...
