Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a promising method for the recovery of resources and energy
from organic wastes. Correspondingly, AD modelling has also been developed in recent …

Globally, there is increasing awareness that renewable energy and energy efficiency are
vital for both creating new economic opportunities and controlling the environmental …

The retention of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) microplastics in sewage sludge during wastewater
treatment raises concerns. However, the effects of PVC microplastics on methane production …

Polyethylene (PE) microplastics retained in sewage sludge inevitably enter the anaerobic
digestion system. To date, no information has been reported on the mechanisms of PE …

This review presents the state-of-the-art sludge reduction technologies applied in both
wastewater and sludge treatment lines. They include chemical, mechanical, thermal …

The world of bioplastics has expanded rapidly in recent decades, and the new waste stream
generated is creating major barriers to waste processing. Anaerobic co-digestion is to be …

This paper presents a review of the main sludge treatment techniques used as a
pretreatment to anaerobic digestion. These processes include biological (largely thermal …

Abstract Polyamide 6 (PA6) as a typical emerging microplastic pollutant has frequently been
featured in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), yet its associated impact on waste …

Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) is a pragmatic approach to simultaneously manage organic
wastes and produce renewable energy. This review demonstrates the need for improving …

Our previous work has reported the pretreatment of secondary sludge with free ammonia
(NH 3, FA) enhanced the methane production in batch biochemical methane potential tests …
