Abstract:Sludge was treated by the combination of CaO2 and flocculant, its dewatering performance was obviously improved. Through changing the initial pH, dosage of conditioner and changed the adding order of conditioner to condition sludge, its dewaterability was improved. The sludge before and after conditioning was characterized by Zeta potential, laser particle size and combined water analysis. The effect of different dose of conditioning agent on sludge dewatering performance was studied. The sludge dewatering mechanisms with different conditioning agents conditioning was discussed. The results show that CaO2-flocculants (microbial flocculant and chitosan) joint conditioning could significantly improve sludge dehydration and reduce water content. Both particle size and Zeta potential of conditioned sludge by CaO2-flocculant joint conditioning decreased, and more significant decrease occurred when CaO2 was dosed before flocculant. As CaO2 was added first, the layered structure of the sludge could be disrupted under oxidation to form small irregular flocs, and sludge was thoroughly destroyed. The concentration of soluble sugars and proteins in conditioned sludge increased when CaO2 was added before flocculant, while the change amounts of bound carbohydrates, proteins, and bound water were reduced. Therefore, the joint conditioning of CaO2 and flocculant could optimize sludge dewatering performance, and the dosing order of CaO2 and flocculant has a significant effect on sludge dewatering. Key words:sludge dewatering/ calcium peroxide/ microbial flocculant/ sludge conditioning/ adding sequence.
