ABSTRACT
Large amounts of waste activated sludge are generated daily worldwide, posing significant environmental challenges. Anaerobic fermentation is a promising method for sludge disposal, but it has two technical bottlenecks the availability of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-producing substrates and SCFAs consumption by methanogenesis. This study proposes a pretreatment strategy combining sodium percarbonate (SPC) and magnetite (Fe3O4) to address these issues. Under optimized conditions (20 mg Fe3O4/g TSS and 15 mg SPC/g TSS), SCFAs production increased to 3244.10 ± 216.31 mg COD/L, about 3.06 times the control (1057.29 ± 35.06 mg COD/L) and surpassing reported treatments. The combined pretreatment enhanced the disruption of extracellular polymeric substances, increased the release of biodegradable matters, improved acidogenesis enzyme activities, and inhibited methanogenesis. Additionally, it increased NH4+-N release in favor of the recovery of phosphorus from sludge residual. This study demonstrates an efficient pretreatment for high SCFAs production and resource recovery from WAS.
