Disintegration of municipal waste activated sludge (WAS) using thermo-alkaline (TA) and electro-Fenton (EF) methods was investigated and compared in terms of the efficiency of sludge solubilisation and enhancement of anaerobic biodegradability. Performance of organic matter solubilisation (soluble COD, proteins, polysaccharides) of sludge pretreated with EF was proved to be better than that with TA pretreatment, which resulted in the enhancement of anaerobic biodegradability. Comparison of results indicated that percentages of PN and PS release obtained after EF pretreatment (68.95 and 65.22%) were higher than those obtained by TA method (45.25 and 35.22%) respectively. An improvement of biogas potential about 2 and 1.6 times was achieved respectively by EF and TA pretreatment in comparison to raw sludge. During semi-continuous fermentation study in continuous stirred tank reactor, EF pretreated sludge gave the best biogas yield (0.6 L biogas/g COD) at an OLR of 2.5 g COD/L. d in comparison to TA pretreated sludge (0.3 L biogas/g COD), where low biogas yield about 0.1 L biogas/g COD was registered by raw sludge in the same CSTR. Therefore, the integration of EF process to anaerobic digestion might be a promising process for sludge reduction and biogas recovery.

The effect of trace metal supplementation on the methane fermentation of fish processing wastewater (FPW) was studied in both batch and continuous experiments using a self-agitated anaerobic baffled reactor (SA-ABR). In the batch experiments, a single supplementation of Ca, Co and Fe was show to have a significant positive impact on the performance of methane fermentation. The continuous experiment results showed that supplementation with 1.

Sweet whey is a waste product from the dairy industry that is difficult to manage. High hopes are fostered regarding its neutralization in the methane fermentation. An economically viable alternative to a typical mesophilic fermentation seems to be the process involving psychrophilic bacteria isolated from the natural environment.

Disposal of the increasingly huge amounts of sewage sludge (SeS) has become an impending problem worldwide. To solve this problem, a high-solid anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) was used for the anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of SeS and food waste (FW). This study investigated the effects of SeS ratio on the methanogenic performance of the AcoD with a gradual increase value from 0 to 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (total solids based).

Anaerobic digestion (AD), being the most effective treatment method of waste activated sludge (WAS), allows for safe disposal. The present study deals with the electro-Fenton (EF) pretreatment for enhancing the WAS biogas potential with low-cost iron electrodes. The effect of pretreatment on the physicochemical characteristics of sludge was assessed.
