Acidobacteria; Caloramator; acidification; activated sludge; chemical oxygen demand; fermentation; heat tolerance; hydrolysis; microbial communities; proteins; proteolysis; short chain fatty acids; thermophilic bacteria
Abstract:
... Adding alkaline into an anaerobic waste activated sludge (WAS) fermentation with thermophilic bacteria pretreatment could efficiently improve short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) accumulation to 3550 ± 120 mg COD/L. The acidification rate in combined test was 21.2%, while that was 15.6% and 10.7% in sole thermophilic bacteria pretreatment and control tests respectively. Four distinct groups of microbes ...

Abstract:
... The efficiency of petrochemical wastewater biological treatment is dependent upon complex bacterial communities. A well understanding of the structure and function of bacterial community and their association with environmental variables is essential for the elucidation of contaminant removal mechanisms and optimization of wastewater treatment processes. In this study, the bacterial communities an ...

acetates; acidification; activated sludge; anaerobic digesters; anaerobic digestion; butyrates; fermentation; hydrolysis; iron; iron oxides; methanogens; pH; short chain fatty acids
Abstract:
... Anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (WAS) to produce acetate has recently attracted growing interest, while the slow hydrolytic acidification of sludge and the consumption of acetate by methanogens both decrease the yield of acetate. In this study, Fe₃O₄ was added to a WAS anaerobic digester under alkaline conditions (pH = 10). The concentration of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) during W ...

Abstract:
... Waste activated sludge (WAS) and animal manure are two significant reservoirs of glucocorticoids (GCs) in the environment. However, GC degradation during anaerobic digestion (AD) of WAS or animal manure has rarely been investigated. In this study, co-fermentation of WAS and animal manure was conducted to investigate the performance of AD in controlling GC dissemination. Effects of manure type on G ...

Abstract:
... Recovery resources from waste active sludge (WAS) is an effective way to alleviate the predicament of WAS disposal, and it is also conducive to the carbon neutralization of wastewater treatment systems. This study discussed the strategy of WAS anaerobic fermentation after pre-oxidation with potassium ferrate (K₂FeO₄, PF), which can simultaneously recover vivianite and enhance SCFAs production. The ...
