... 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 ...
... A novel pretreatment method combining ultrasonic with thermophilic bacteria (Geobacillus sp. G1) was employed to pretreat waste-activated sludge (WAS) for enhancing the WAS hydrolysis and subsequent volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production. The soluble protein and carbohydrate were mostly released from intracellular ultrasonic-assisted Geobacillus sp. G1 pretreatment, and accumulated to 917 ± 70 and ...
... A novel pretreatment method combining freezing/thawing with Geobacillus sp. G1 was employed to pretreat waste activated sludge (WAS) for enhancing the WAS hydrolysis and subsequent short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production. Results showed that freezing/thawing combined with Geobacillus sp. G1 pretreatment achieved the maximal concentrations of soluble protein from 40±6mg COD/L (non-pretreated) to ...
