Fluorescent Characteristics and Metal Binding Properties of Different Molecular Weight Fractions in Stratified Extracellular Polymeric Substances of Activated Sludge

The combination of heavy metals and extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) affects the distribution of heavy metals in microbial aggregates, soil, and aquatic systems. This paper aimed to explore the binding mechanisms of EPSs of different molecular weights in activated sludge with heavy metals....
