The study focuses on the effect of microwave irradiation on sludge dewaterability. Capillary
suction time and specific resistance of filtration were used to evaluate sludge dewaterability …

Activated sludge is hard to be dewatered due to the highly water bounded in sludge flocs.
This study investigated the hybrid treatment of microwave irradiation and acidification on …

In this study, we investigate the physical and chemical properties of waste-activated sludge
after treatment with microwave irradiation. The results indicate that microwave energy and …

This work experimentally determined the effect of microwave treatment on the disintegration
and acidogenesis of municipal secondary sludge. Sludge samples (500g) were heated for 0 …

The article focuses on the effect of microwave treatment on the dewaterability of sewage
sludge. The specific resistance to filtration, capillary suction time, and dry matter content in …

Sludge digestion and stabilization governs almost half of the operating cost of wastewater
treatment plants, and hydrolysis is the limiting step in sludge digestion. Increasing hydrolysis …

This article focuses on the effects of microwave treatment on sewage sludge with alkali
addition. Both the solubilization of organic matters and the settleability of sludge were …

Batch anaerobic digesters were used to stabilize microwave (MW)‐irradiated waste
activated sludge (WAS). A low temperature range (50–96° C) MW irradiation was applied …

Thermal drying is an effective sludge treatment method for dealing with large volumes of
sludge. Microwave (MW) technology has been proposed as an effective and efficient …

In this paper, we quantify the effect of heating pretreatment on the degree of solubilization of
waste activated sludge. The pretreatment process was carried out using a lab-scale …
