Enhanced waste activated sludge dewaterability by the ozone-peroxymonosulfate oxidation process: Performance, sludge characteristics, and implication
Science of The Total Environment(2022)
摘要
Dewatering treatment is an essential step to diminish sludge volume, cut down transportation costs, and improve subsequent disposal efficiency. In this study, ozone-peroxymonosulfate (O3/PMS) oxidation process was employed to ameliorate sludge dewaterability. Sludge capillary suction time (CST) and water content (Wc) of dewatered sludge cake could reduce from 70.5 s and 81.93% to 26.7 s and 65.65%, respectively, under the optimal dosage of 30 mg/g TS O3 and 0.4 mmol/g TS PMS. The increased sludge zeta potential, particle size, and fluidity promoted sludge dewatering performance apparently. The decreased hydrophilic, fluorescent EPS components and proteins/peptides-like + Lipids percentage in EPS as well as the ratio of α-helix/(β-sheet + random coil) of treated EPS protein secondary structure was greatly responsible for the enhanced sludge dewaterability. SO4− and OH were detected in ozone-peroxymonosulfate process to crack sludge flocs, eliminate hydrophilic substances and liberate bound water. Moreover, the concentrations of both heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of sludge after O3/PMS conditioning were decreased, and the stability and toxicity of heavy metals were also reduced, except Zn. In conclusion, this work offered a comprehensive insight based on ozone-peroxymonosulfate (O3/PMS) advanced oxidation for improving the sludge dewaterability and environmental implication.
