“…A temperature-dependence of sludge rheological characteristics has been reported by several authors (Sozanski et al 1997, Battistoni et al 1993a, Mu et al 2007, Abu-Jdayil et al 2010, Baudez et al 2013, Baroutian et al 2013). An Arrhenius-like model is widely used to describe the relationship between temperature and rheological parameters (Baudez et al 2011, Battistoni et al 1993a, Mu et al 2007, Pevere et al 2009. However, in a recent paper, Baudez et al (2013) objected these results.…”
