This article focuses on the effects of pretreatment on sewage sludge with sodium hypochlorite addition. The solubilization of organic matters of sludge was investigated. It was found that the pypocholoride treatment provided a efficient process to release organics from sludge flocs. When the ClO-dose was about 21mg /g SS with a reaction time of 3 hours, the supernatant soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), protein and polysaccharide increased by 400%, 67%, 1791%, 635%, 214%, and 556%, respectively. After hypochlorite pretreatment, the sludge extracelluar polymers (EPS) were disintegrated and the cell walls were broken. Then the intracellular organic matters were released into the supernatant, leading to the increase of organic matters in the supernatant.

Anaerobic digestion is an economic and environmentally friendly technology for treating the biomass material-sewage sludge, but has some limitations, such as the low efficient biogass production. In this paper ultrasound was proposed as pre-treatment for effective sludge anaerobic digestion. Sludge anaerobic digestion experiments with ultrasonic pretreatment was investigated. It can be seen that this treatment effectively leaded to the increase of soluble chemical oxygen demand(SCOD) and volatile fatty acids(VFA)concentration. High concentration of VFA leaded to a increase in biogas production. Besides, the SV of sludge was reduced and the settling characteristics of sludge was improved after ultrasonic pretreatment. It can be concluded that sludge anaerobic digestion with ultrasonic pretreatment is an effective method for biomass material transformation.

Regard the added soluble chemical oxygen demand value (SCOD), TN, TP, VFA as the evaluation index, study the hydrolysis effect of different ultrasonic intensity of sewage sludge. The results show that: with the energy density of 0.75W/L, 1.5W/L, 3W/L after ultrasonic treatment of sludge, SCOD than the original clay increased a lot. Hydrolysis of five days later, having little difference of SCOD concentration in the sludge, and the 0.75W/L SCOD reached the peak, indicating little sound energy density difference of SCOD in sludge, and the low energy density effected better, while the concentration of TN, TP, VFA were increased with the increase of the energy density.

High concentrations of ammonium and phosphate present a challenge to cost-effective treatment of anaerobically digested dairy manure. This study investigated the efficacy of a two-stage biofiltration system for passive treatment of digested dairy manure. The first stage pebble filters were batch loaded. When the slurry-like digested dairy manure was retained on pebble beds, soluble contaminants were removed before liquid infiltrated over 8–17 days. The pebble filters removed 70% of soluble chemical oxygen demand, 71% of soluble biochemical oxygen demand, 75% of ammonium, and 68% of orthophosphate. Nitrogen removal was attributed to the conventional nitrification – denitrification process and novel nitritation – anammox process. Aerobic ammonium oxidizing and anammox bacteria accounted for 25 and 23% of all bacteria, respectively, in the filtrate of the pebble filters. The longer it took for filtration, the greater the removal efficiency of soluble contaminants. The second stage sand filters had removal efficiencies of 17% for soluble chemical oxygen demand, 45% for soluble biochemical oxygen demand, 43% for ammonium, and 16% for orthophosphate during batch operations at a hydraulic retention time of 7 days. Aerobic ammonium oxidation and anammox were primarily responsible for nitrogen removal in the sand filters. Vegetation made an insignificant difference in treatment performance of the sand filters.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of acidogenic fermentation broth with rice bran (RFFB), tap water (TFFB), or raw fishery by-products (FBs) on sludge reduction and biogas production in an anaerobic co-digestion process. Acidogenic fermentation of FBs with rice bran was faster and produced more volatile fatty acids than that with tap water. Reduction efficiencies for chemical oxygen demand, volatile solids, and total solids were highest in RFFB. In the kinetic analysis, λ (d), which represents the duration of the lag phase, was shortest with RFFB (1.09 d) and highest in sewage sludge (8.86 d). As the loading amount of volatile solids and chemical oxygen demand increased, the amount of cumulative biogas also increased. Amount of produced methane and energy recovery were highest with RFFB (5.71 kWh). Anaerobic co-digestion of FFB and sewage sludge allowed reduced sludge and recovered energy using the discarded waste as an organic carbon source.
