Removal behavior and chemical speciation distributions of heavy metals in sewage sludge during bioleaching and combined bioleaching/Fenton-like processes

Abstract The removal and chemical speciation changes of heavy metals in the sewage sludge during the single bioleaching and combined bioleaching/Fenton-like processes were compared in this study. The improvement in the dewaterability of the treated sludge was also investigated. The single bioleachin...
