Waste sludge disintegration and bound water reduction was investigated by comparative chemical oxidation using calcium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, peroxymonusulfate and peroxydisulfate in the study. Response surface methodology (RSM) with Box-Benhken Design (BBD) was used to determine operating parameters namely initial pH (2-10), oxidant dosage (5-85 mg/g TSS), and Fe 2+ to oxidant ratio (0.2-2) and disintegration time (20-100 min). According to ANOVA results, determination coefficient (R 2 ) was found 93.2%, 76.3%, 84% and 84.8% for each oxidant, respectively. Under the optimum operating conditions, disintegration degree in terms of chemical oxygen demand (DD COD ) was calculated 11.09%, 5.23%, 10.75%, and 5.34%, respectively. Furthermore, bound water reduction (BWR) of waste sludge increased after the disintegration process, and 33.52%, 24.56%, 44.63% and 32.80% BWR values were obtained under the same operating conditions. Results show that the higher DD COD and BWR values were achieved by calcium hypochlorite and peroxymonosulfate treatment.
