“…Studies have shown that the content of CaCO 3 in paper sludge is approximately 800 mg/g, and the proportion of fibres accounts for 20–50% in the organic matter content of paper sludge. Currently, paper sludge treatment methods used in China, the Netherlands and England are typically landfill, aerobic compost and resource utilisation (Xie, 2013; Yu et al ., 2014; Fang et al ., 2018; 2020).…”

FeSO 4 was used to activate K 2 S 2 O 8 mixed with paper sludge to condition activated sludge, and its effect on sludge dewaterability was investigated. Interaction effects of various parameters on sludge dewaterability were investigated and analysed by considering the moisture content of cake, specific resistance to filtration (SRF) and capillary suction time (CST) as indicators and the Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology (RSM). Results indicated that the moisture content of cake, SRF and CST decreased from 74.52 to 69.57%, 25.39 × 10 12 to 11.80 × 10 12 m/kg and 199.8 to 146.4 s, respectively, under optimal conditions. RSM results presented that only 0.13% of the response values cannot be interpreted with this model, and the three-factor interaction was observed to be significant. Additionally, sludge dewaterability mechanism observed that K 2 S 2 O 8 mixed with paper sludge used the strong oxidising properties of SO 4 − • to crack sludge flocs. Fine fibres and calcium carbonate in the paper sludge played important roles as the skeleton support in the sludge filtration process, and the internal moisture was rapidly eliminated.
