C.P. CHU, D.J. LEE, BEN-VEN CHANG AND G.S. LIAO

Abstract

This study experimentally investigated the change in mirobial density level, the amount of organics that could be hydrolyzed, and sludge dewaterability of a waste activated sludge subject to acid or alkaline pretreatments. Responses of sludge were different under acid or basic environment, which were discussed separately.
