Characteristics of dewatered sludge. Dewatering processes can potentially remove both the free water and a proportion of the interstitial (or floc) water. The dewatered sludge, or cake, %DS content can range from 13−46% depending on the feed sludge characteristics and the dewatering technology employed (Table 1).

The effects of EPS on metal ion adsorption and sludge dewatering were measured after separation. Section snippets Materials and reagents.

In the effort to identify sustainable sludge management options, pilot-scale sludge treatment reed beds (STRBs) were tested and assessed in the Sultanate of Oman in the first integrated experimental study of this nature-based solution in the Middle East region. A total of 18 pilot STRB units were established and monitored for almost 2 years; …

Complex electrochemical operations (ohomic heating effect, redox reactions, electrokinetic phenomena and pH gradient effect) in the electro-dewatering process can …

1. Introduction. Waste activated sludge (WAS) of the municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is produced in large quantities and proliferates (Guan et al., 2018).After the traditional mechanical dewatering method, the water content of dewatered sludge cake is as high as 75 wt%–85 wt% (Wu et al., 2017b).Deep dewatering of …

The mechanisms occurring with different metals as active sites are explored, and the review shows that the degradation efficiency and …

The moisture content of non-dewatering industrial sludge is about 90% [4]. Mechanical dewatering is one of the most appropriate ways of sludge dewatering. However, Industrial sludge moisture content (MC) can only be decreased to 80%–60% by traditional mechanical dewatering [5], which is unable to meet the requirements of …

Apart from dewatering, heavy metals contained in sludge presented environment risk and threaten human health as well (Xiong et al., 2018). To date, mandatory laws or regulations were enacted to reduce the concentration of heavy metals before the disposal or reuse of sludge ( Chanaka Udayanga et al., 2018 ).
