Dissolved organic matter byproducts from combined low-level alkaline and mechanical treatment of sludge: species, and their bioavailability

Low-level alkalinity (pH 9–10) coupled with ultrasonic or mechanical cutting with different energy input for obtaining carbon sources were tested for sludge pretreatment process before anaerobic sludge digestion. The differences between the primary sludge (PS) and waste activated sludge (WAS)-derive...
