Electrostatic binding sites of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were characterized
from titration data using linear programming analysis. Test results for three synthetic …

Activated sludge extracellular polymers (ECP) were extracted either by sonication or a
combination of sonication and cation exchange resin treatment (CER). The chemical …

Heavy metals are continuously released into aquatic environments in which they
accumulate. This phenomenon endangers public health because heavy metals accumulate …

Surface charge quantification of polymer solutions and sludge suspensions were
investigated by the colloid titration technique and compared to charge densities obtained by …

Three cationic polyelectrolytes with different charge densities were used to condition
activated sludge samples from a municipal plant during a period when the sludge …

Capsulär and slime exopolymers are elaborated by a wide variety of microorganisms in
nature. These exopolymers serve as a buffer be-tween the cell wall and the external …

Evaluation of prior research and preliminary investigations in our laboratory led to the
development of an extraction strategy that can be used to target different cations in activated …

The efficiency of five extraction methods for extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) was
compared on three benthic eukaryotic biofilms isolated from an extreme acidic river, Río …

Abstract Effects of extraction methods of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from
activated sludge on extraction efficiency and extract composition were investigated. EPS …

Changes of surface charge and extracellular polymer (ECP) content were investigated in
batch experiments for three anaerobic sludges, each of which had been enriched at 35° C …
