Use of polysorbate 20 and sodium thiosulfate to enhance sewage sludge dewaterability by bioleaching

Dewatering of sludge is a key problem that must be solved in the sewage sludge disposal industry. In this study, a series of process optimization tests were conducted to learn how to improve sludge treatment. The optimum process of sludge leaching treatment was studied in a specially designed 100-L...
