Enhancing volatile fatty acids production from waste activated sludge by a novel cation-exchange resin assistant strategy

Heliang Pang et al.

Summary: The study developed a novel strategy for enhancing volatile fatty acids production from waste activated sludge using cation-exchange resin assistant anaerobic fermentation. The proposed process conditions achieved significant sludge disintegration and volatile fatty acids yield. The reusability tests showed that NaCl solution was the best for cation-exchange resin regeneration, with the regenerated resin performing comparably to the original resin.

Effect of ultrasonic and ozone pretreatment on the fate of enteric indicator bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes, and anaerobic digestion of dairy wastewater

Xiaojuan Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that US/ozone pretreatment can effectively reduce the concentration of enteric indicator bacteria, but cannot decrease the absolute concentration of antibiotic resistance genes. In the anaerobic digestion process of dairy wastewater, using ozone or US/ozone pretreatment can significantly increase methane production and inhibit the enrichment of antibiotic resistance genes.

Effects of freeze-thaw and chemical preconditioning on the consolidation properties and microstructure of landfill sludge

Yang Xu et al.

Summary: A large amount of landfill sludge (LS) has accumulated worldwide, requiring deep dewatering and volume reduction. An in-situ treatment method combining freeze-thaw and vacuum preloading was proposed to address this issue. By studying the consolidation properties and microstructure of LS after different preconditioning methods, the vacuum consolidation principle was explored, showing significant changes in permeability, consolidation coefficient, and microstructure of LS after conditioning.

Effect of the ozonation pretreatment on biogas production from waste activated sludge of tehran wastewater treatment plant

Mahdi Hodaei et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of ozonation on anaerobic digestion of thickened activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant in Tehran. Results showed that lower ozone doses had acceptable performance in short-term operations but negative energy balance, while higher doses reduced biogas production and increased energy demand. Longer retention times decreased the effectiveness of ozone pretreatment. Further evaluation is needed to assess the feasibility of ozone pretreatment for sustainable sludge management.

Enhancing methanogenic fermentation of waste activated sludge via isoelectric-point pretreatment: Insights from interfacial thermodynamics, electron transfer and microbial community

Ying Xu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the efficiency of methane generation from waste activated sludge (WAS) can be significantly enhanced through pretreatment with isoelectric-point (pI), which improves the hydrophobic attractions at the solid-liquid interface and promotes electron transfer efficiency. The pI pretreatment also led to an increase in the relative abundances of main functional microbes related to hydrolysis, acidification, and methanation, contributing to an overall boost in methane production.
