The influence of micron-sized silica particles on the distribution of organic matters in sludge and anaerobic degradation of macromolecular organic components (MOCs) in sludge was investigated. With the addition of micron-sized particles in the influent (VS/TS decreased gradually from 90.46 +/- 0.21 % to 33.36 +/- 0.17 %), the protein degradation percentage was significantly promoted while the polysaccharides degradation percentage was largely inhibited, resulting in the total MOCs degradation and methane production increasing firstly (with the promotion extent within 10 %) and then declining slightly, with the peak value at VS/TS of 56.03 +/- 0.21 %. The shifted degradation percentage of protein and polysaccharides were caused by the significant changed distribution of organic matters in sludge. With the addition of micron-sized silica particles, the MW of EPS and secondary structure of protein in EPS changed little, which brought about little influence. While, the promoted extracellular protein content (so that the total protein content) and declined extracellular carbohydrates content (so that the total polysaccharides content), were found to be strongly correlated to the enhanced protein degradation and inhibited polysaccharides degradation. The results suggested that large amounts of grit in sludge might not be the main reason for lower degradability of sewage sludge in China.

Partial ozonation of returned sludge via high-concentration ozone to reduce excess sludge production: A pilot study

Xiangjuan Sun, Binhan Liu, Lingjun Zhang, Kyohei Aketagawa, Binjie Xue, Yinji Ren, Jianfeng Bai, Yong Zhan, Sisi Chen, Bin Dong

Summary: By comparing the effects of high and low concentration ozone on partial ozonation of returned sludge, it was found that high concentration ozone can more effectively reduce organic matter and excess sludge production, with stronger nutrient removal capacity. While there were no significant differences in the treatment properties of excess sludge, the advantages of high concentration ozone mainly lie in the sludge solubilization rate and impact on carbon source utilization capacity in bioreactors.

Interactions between virus surrogates and sewage sludge vary by viral analyte: Recovery, persistence, and sorption

Wan Yang, Chen Cai, Xiaohu Dai

Summary: This study investigated the recovery, survivability, and sorption of four virus surrogates in sewage sludge, leading to the discovery of different elution methods and recovery rates for each virus. The role of the solid fraction of sludge in virus inactivation was also found to be significant. Additionally, the analysis of amino acid sequences revealed that certain viruses could remain viable at lower temperatures, posing an infection risk. These findings contribute to our understanding of the environmental behavior of viruses in sewage sludge and provide a theoretical basis for risk assessment in sludge treatment and disposal.
