摘要
To improve the sludge dewaterability, the potential benefits of sludge dewaterability under surfactant-conditioning with acid-alkali pretreatment were investigated. Sludge was treated by surfactant dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, and then the effect of surfactant dosage and pH on sludge dewaterability [water content of dewatered sludge (w(H2O)) and specific resistance of filtration (rSRF)] were discussed. Extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) content, organic acid content and rheological property were measured in an attempt to explain the sludge dewaterability mechanism under surfactant conditioning in various pH. The results show that the surfactant has positive effect on the sludge dewaterability. The addition of surfactant can change EPS content ρ(EPS), promote EPS hydrolysis, reduce the apparent viscosity and then improve sludge dewaterability. When sludge is conditioned by surfactant with alkaline pretraetment, ρ(EPS) in supernatant increase dramatically which result in rSRF, w(H2O) and rheological property increasing significantly, and then sludge dewaterability deteriorated. As a comparison, the effects of surfactant conditioning sludge with acid pretreatment are better, w(H2O) decrease obviously. The results also demonstrate that a surfactant dosage of 93.75 mg·g-1 at pH= 3 is an ideal condition, w(H2O) and rSRF decrease to 61.12% and 0.59×1013 m·kg-1, respectively.
