Sulfide is a toxic and corrosive odorant generated in various sludge treatment and disposal systems. We developed an electrochemical pretreatment (EPT) approach to eliminate sludge sulfide production without adding chemicals. Biochemical sulfide potential (BSP) test was used to evaluate the effectiveness of EPT on sludge sulfide production. The sulfide control was effective with EPT, and we determined the underlying mechanism of EPT. EPT which was operated at 12 V for 720 s eliminated 99% of dissolved sulfide and 100% of gaseous H2S(g). In comparison, the dissolved sulfide reached 104 +/- 1 mg S/L in the control BSP test. A sulfur mass balance analysis in the BSP test showed that 90% of the produced sulfide was removed via metal precipitation. Metal distribution results confirmed that metals (i.e., Fe, Mn, and Ni) in the sludge became soluble after EPT and were released from their residual and organically bound fractions. EPT which was operated at 15 V solubilized around 73, 92, and 72% of Fe, Mn, and Ni, and these metals precipitated the sulfide that was produced from biological sulfate reduction. Sludge analysis revealed that EPT disintegrated sludge flocs and disrupted metal-binding functional groups. Specifically, reduction of 17% C=O functional groups in the sludge was found, which could be associated with metal release. The impact of oxidants (e.g., chlorine) generated from EPT on sulfide oxidation was minimal. The findings of this study broadened up our understanding of the electrochemical process for sulfide control during saline sludge digestion.
