Abstract
Due to the problems of high difficulty and cost of sludge treatment and disposal, the residual sludge with high water content was treated by lysis to realize the reduction. The sludge lysis was conducted by ultravio-sonication (UVS). The effects of wavelength and power of ultraviolet (UV), and sludge concentration and alkali treatment were investigated. The results found that the power of the UV impacted the sludge lysis degree (DDCOD) more strongly than the wavelength, which could increase the amount of TP, PO43−-P, TN, NH4+-N, protein and polysaccharides in the supernatant but reduce the percentage of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. During the lysis by UV-ultrasound, DDCOD increased slightly as the sludge concentration increased, and alkali treatment was more conducive to the dissolution of substances. Under the conditions of ultrasonic power 400 W and frequency 40 kHz, UV power 16 W and wavelength 185 nm, sludge concentration 12,000 mg·L−1, pH = 11 (alkali treatment), the contents of TP, PO43−-P, TN, NH4+-N were 297.1 mg·L−1, 183.9 mg·L−1, 522.3 mg·L−1, and 58.9 mg·L−1, respectively, with DDCOD reaching up to 63.02%. The improvement of sludge lysis degree was conducive to the release of substances and the reduction the moisture content, which facilitated the subsequent sludge disposal and resource utilization.
期刊介绍：
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
