10/01/2018 - "Additionally, a multiple linear regression model for bound water release was established, showing that lower loosely bond EPS (LB-EPS) content and specific resistance of filtration (SRF) may improve dehydration performance, and larger sludge flocs may be beneficial for sludge dewatering."
09/20/2019 - "The water retained inside the sludge flocs is the bottleneck for the dehydration of sewage sludge, which hindered the following treatment. "
03/01/2021 - "Furthermore, the synergy process could alter the secondary structure of protein, which caused a loose structure of EPS and the exposure of hydrophobic sites, facilitating the dehydration of sludge flocs. "
03/01/2022 - "At HT temperatures of 200-260 ℃ (carbonization stage), dehydration and amine aldehyde condensation occurred, benefiting the formation of fixed carbon and smooth morphology structure of SS, reducing the capillary force-induced water-holding capacity of sludge flocs. "

01/01/2011 - "Compared to activated sludge flocs, aerobic granules have a regular shape, and a compact and dense structure which enhances settleability, higher biomass retention, multi-microbial functions, higher tolerance to toxicity, greater tolerance to shock loading, and relatively low excess sludge production. "
11/01/2010 - "Aerobic granulation may play an important role in the field of wastewater treatment due to the advantages of aerobic granules compared to the conventional sludge flocs, such as denser structure, better settleability and ensured solid-effluent separation, higher biomass concentration, and greater ability to withstand shock loadings, which is promising for a full-scale implementation. "
11/01/2009 - "Microbial granules play an important role in the field of biological wastewater treatment due to their advantages over the conventional sludge flocs, such as a denser and stronger aggregate structure, better settleability and ensured solid-effluent separation, higher biomass concentration, and greater ability to withstand shock loadings. "
01/01/2009 - "Aerobic granules, compared with conventional activated sludge flocs, are well known for their regular, dense, and strong microbial structure, good settling ability, high biomass retention, and great ability to withstand shock loadings. "
05/01/2002 - "The results show significant potassium (K+) efflux from activated sludge flocs to the bulk liquid in response to sublethal (concentrations less than that required to reduce the specific oxygen uptake rate by 50%) shock loads of chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, N-ethylmaleimide, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, benzoquinone, and cadmium in a bench-scale sequencing batch reactor system. "

01/01/2015 - "The most important mechanism was proposed to be the degradation of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) incorporated in sludge flocs and rupture of microbial cells. "
11/01/2012 - "SEM images further revealed the rupture of sludge flocs at the colloidal scale, which contributed to the release of EPS-bound water and interstitial water trapped between flocs, and subsequent enhanced dewaterability."
09/01/2012 - "The most important mechanisms were proposed to be the degradation of EPS incorporated in sludge flocs and rupture of microbial cells. "
09/01/2012 - "Micrograph investigation indicated that explosive explosion shockwave pretreatment could rupture sludge flocs, release physically bound water, and extracellular substances into the solution, consequently enhancing sludge dewaterability."
