Enhanced Electro-Dewatering of Sludge Through Inorganic Coagulant Pre-Conditioning
2025
Overview
Sludge electro-dewatering technology is an attractive dewatering technology, but its application is limited by high energy consumption and filter cloth clogging caused by the dissolution of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). Thus, the addition of inorganic coagulants is expected to enhance the electro-dewatering efficiency of waste activated sludge (WAS). In this study, we evaluated the effects of the three typical inorganic coagulants (HPAC, PAC, and FeCl3) on sludge electro-dewatering behavior. The results show that the electro-dewatering rate at the cathode was increased with the raising of the inorganic coagulants dosage, and FeCl3 exhibited the best effect on the improvement of sludge electro-dewatering among the three inorganic coagulants. The zeta potential of the sludge flocs and the electro-osmotic effect were raised with the increasing of the inorganic coagulants dosage. The sludge floc conditioned by FeCl3 is more compact than HPAC and PAC. Moreover, the dissolved EPS content reduced in the sludge electro-dewatering process when inorganic coagulant was added. In comparison to increasing ionic strength, the compression of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) plays a more critical role in enhancing the electro-dewatering process of sludge. The addition of inorganic coagulants also reduced the energy consumption during water removal in the electro-dewatering process.
