Sewage sludge treatment by a continuous microwave enhanced advanced oxidation processA paper submitted to the Journal of Environmental Engineering and Science.

Abstract: A continuous flow mode of the microwave enhanced advanced oxidation process (MW/H2O2-AOP) was used for sludge treatment as opposed to a batch operation mode from past studies. The effects of pre-microwave heating, microwave irradiation and post-microwave holding on organic matter solubilization were studied. Pre-microwave heating did not improve the overall orthophosphate solubilization, but helped in organic matter solubilization. Nutrients and organic matter were found to have increased during the post-micro… Show more

“…The process is capable of destroying microbial cells in sewage sludge, as well as oxidative cleavage of many organic compounds, resulting in an increase of soluble substrates. In addition, metals and inorganic materials are also released into the solution . The resulting solution would produce a solution ideal for the subsequent struvite crystallization (magnesium ammonium phosphate) process for phosphorus recovery and/or anaerobic digestion to produce methane.…”

“…In the change process, a lot of heat is produced due to friction among the molecules, resulting in the temperature increase of the municipal dewatered sludge. Thus, the thermal effect of microwave treatment can promote the degradation of the organic matters [10][11][12].…”
