Abstract:In response to the difficulty in sewage sludge dewatering and treatment, the combination of Fe2+-activated persulfate oxidation and skeleton builders of paper sludge was used to condition the sewage sludge. In this study, moisture content of sludge cake, specific resistance to filtration (SRF), capillary sunction time (CST), the distribution of protein and polysaccharide in the EPS, and the total nitrogen and total phosphorus content in the filter cake and filtrate were used to evaluate the effect of above combination on the EPS. The result showed that when the sewage sludge was mixed with the paper sludge with a ratio of 1:2, the addition of Fe2+ and persulfate could result in the best dewaterability effect. The moisture content of sludge cake decreased from 74.52% to 69.57%, and the SRF was reduced by 66.23%. The distribution of protein and polysaccharide was S-EPS>LB-EPS>TB-EPS, and the proportion of total nitrogen in cake decreased from 94.60% to 65.62%. The EPS was effectively disrupted, and the sludge dewaterability was significantly improved. Key words:sewage sludge/ paper sludge/ skeleton/ extracellular polymeric substance (EPS).
