This review presents the state-of-the-art sludge reduction technologies applied in both
wastewater and sludge treatment lines. They include chemical, mechanical, thermal …

The treatment and disposal of waste activated sludge (WAS) has become one of the major
challenges for the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) due to large output, high treatment …

The rupture of cytoderm and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), and competitive
inhibition of methanogens are the main bottlenecks for medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) …

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) recovery through anaerobic fermentation is a promising
pathway to achieve economic benefits and carbon-emission reduction in waste activated …

Alkaline anaerobic fermentation has been reported to be effective for short-chain fatty acids
(SCFAs) production from waste activated sludge, but is still limited by the high alkalis …

Pre-treatments for waste activated sludge (WAS) are, in most cases, an attempt to increase
the biodegradation and/or improve hydrolysis rate of WAS after anaerobic digestion. This …

This study developed a novel strategy for enhancing volatile fatty acids production from
waste activated sludge by cation-exchange resin assistant anaerobic fermentation. The …

The increasing waste-activated sludge (WAS) and shortage of carbon source (CSs)
production for biological nitrogen removal (BNR) have limited sewage treatment …

The plastic products have large consumption over last decades, resulting in a serious
microplastics (MPs) pollution. Specially, the main removal way of MPs from wastewater is to …

In decades, anaerobic fermentation with short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) recovery from
excess sludge have attained rising attention. However, rigid particulate organic matter …
