The use of mass balance-based calculation of the net growth rate of each OTU individually exploits the known solids residence time of the activated sludge plant and thus may not be widely ...

A team of University of South Australia (UniSA) engineers has developed an eco-friendly alternative to cement used in the ...

A novel cement alternative using alum sludge enhances resistance to microbiologically influenced corrosion, improving ...

Activated sludge system is a complex micro-ecosystem, in which various bacterial taxa interact with each other through energy transfer and exchange of substances and information to form a large ...

The researchers found that reducing the amount of KOH used by at least 50%, with a sludge-to-KOH ratio of 3:1 at a maximum temperature of 800 °C (1,472 °F) was optimal, producing a yield of 0.63 ...
