摘要
Effective dewatering is vital for both sludge treatment and resource recovery. This study focuses on converting post-anaerobic digested sludge into biochar to enhance sludge dewatering. The sludge-derived biochar is further modified with polyacrylamide (PAM-ADBC) and applied with sulfuric acid-modified montmorillonite (HMTS) for better performance. Significant advancements in dewatering were noted, even at reduced HMTS (0.1 g/g DS) and PAM-ADBC (25 g/kg DS) dosages. These improvements resulted in a remarkable 41.96% enhancement in capillary suction time (17.2 s) and a notable 20.26% reduction in moisture content (66.33%), respectively, all while maintaining a stable pH level. HMTS, with leached cations, improved dewatering by decomposing the extracellular polymeric substance structure through electro-neutralization to release the internal bound water within sludge flocs. Simultaneously, PAM-ADBC coagulated decomposed sludge particles into larger flocs to form a skeletal structure with itself to discharge internal water in compression dewatering. This study introduces a resource recovery method for anaerobically digested sludge and highlights its potential for sustainable utilization. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
