Effect of aeration pretreatment on anaerobic digestion of swine manure.

To investigate the effects of aeration pretreatment on the anaerobic digestion (AD) of swine manure, five pretreatment groups were established with dissolved oxygen (DO) in each group set to 0.0, 0.4, 0.

Performance enhancement of integrating microbial electrolysis cell on two-stage anaerobic digestion of food waste: Electro-methanogenic stage versus electro-two stages.

The effects of microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) integration stage on two-stage anaerobic digestion (TSAD) of food waste (FW) were studied via semi-continuous experiments. The results showed that both MEC (with 1.2 V) integrations enhanced the performances of the TSADs, with the enhancement of electro-two stages being higher.

Microbial electrolysis cell simultaneously enhancing methanization and reducing hydrogen sulfide production in anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge.

The effects of microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) at three applied voltages (0.8, 1.3, and 1.

Improving sewage sludge dewaterability via heterogeneous activation of persulfate by Fe-Al layered double hydroxide: Role of generated SO•

In this study, Fe-Al layered double hydroxide (Fe-Al LDH) was prepared and applied to activate persulfate to condition sewage sludge and improve its dewaterability. The results showed that Fe-Al LDH activated persulfate to generate a large amount of free radicals, which attacked extracellular polymeric substances and reduced their content, disrupted microbial cells, released bound water, decreased sludge particle size, increased sludge zeta potential, and improved sludge dewaterability. After sewage sludge was conditioned with Fe-Al LDH (0.
