Impacts of SRT on Particle Size Distribution and Reactor Performance in Activated Sludge Processes
Abstract:
Particle size distribution of the particulates is an essential characteristic of the wastewater quality. Particle size of activated sludge flocs may affect key sludge handling processes including sedimentation, thickening, digestion, and dewatering. This study evaluated the effects of solids retention time (SRT) on particle size distribution, sludge settleability, effluent turbidity, and removals of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and

Precipitate Formation and Particle Size Control
The obtained precipitate should be either a pure substance of known composition or easily converted to one by a simple process, such as ignition or drying. In addition, the precipitate should be insoluble and easily filterable. In general, filterability...
