Effect of thermal treatment of anaerobic sludge on the bioavailability and biodegradability characteristics of the organic fraction

Most works reported in the literature focus on thermal treatment of waste activated sludge at temperatures in the range of 160 to 180ºC. This research aimed at evaluating the thermal treatment of excess anaerobic sludge at much lower temperatures, using biogas generated in the wastewater treatment p...
