The study demonstrates that low voltage is more helpful to sludge dewatering. However, when the voltage is too high, the dewaterability of sludge will deteriorate ( Yuan et al., 2011 ). Electrolysis usually takes place at the electrode, and this process will cause a pH decrease at the anode, which neutralises the negative charge of …

A number of studies have confirmed that the electro-osmotic plate-and-frame filter press technology is highly efficient in the dewatering of residual sludge, which can achieve the deep dewatering of sludge (the moisture content of the cake can be controlled below 60%) when preconditioning with a single polymer electrolyte (Lee et al., 2007 ...

The study shows that only less than half of the sludge mix needs to consist of primary sludge, in order to achieve adequate dewaterability. This opens up the possibility of retaining more primary fiber within the pulping process, without compromising downstream sludge dewatering.

Dewatering is critical to oily cold rolling mill (CRM) sludge treatment. Therefore, finding an efficient, energy-saving, and applicable dewatering technology for oily CRM sludge is still urgent. This study investigated the performance of quicklime as a conditioning agent for oily CRM sludge conditioning and dewatering. The interactive …

Sludge dewatering can be an effective step to minimize sludge volume, facilitate transportation, and reduce leachate production in subsequent sludge landfills …

In previous studies, although iron salt coagulation and Fenton conditioning were separately investigated for their effects on sludge dewaterability, the filterability and dewatering efficiency of coagulated sludge at relevant dosages were significantly lower than those of Fenton oxidized sludge (He et al., 2015; Liang and Zhou, 2022; Yu et al ...

To further improve the performance of sludge dewatering, this study used the UV-light-initiated aqueous micellar polymerization method to obtain hydrophobic associating cationic polyacrylamide (HACPAM) as a flocculant and coupled it with quartz sand and fly ash to investigate sludge flocculation and dewatering. The results show …

The sludge dewatering performance was evaluated in terms of capillary suction time (CST), specific resistance to filtration (SRF), cake solids content (CSC) and zeta potential measurement. ... without any overdose effect within the range of dosage tested. The study of the pH effect reveals that the efficiency of BF01314 in sludge …

Sludge is a direct product of sewage treatment. Sludge dewatering is the core difficulty of sludge treatment and runs through the whole process of sludge …

Sludge dewatering is considered as an important way to reduce the sludge volume. Five imidazole-based ionic liquids were used to improve the dewaterability of sewage sludge. 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dihydrogen phosphate ([Emim][H 2 PO 4 ]) was screened out as a potential conditioner of sludge due to its excellent dewatering …

In this study, three types of typical oxidants (Fenton's reagent, H2O2, and KMnO4) were used to pre-treat dewatered sludge directly, then advanced dewatering performance, conversion rate of bio ...

Fig. 1 shows the stages and framework of LCA research and the main process of sludge treatment and disposal in the studied literature. In this review, 37 studies on LCA of sludge treatment aiming at nutrient/energy recovery were subjected to statistical analysis. Keywords used for search on Web of Science include: "(life cycle assessment …
