Effect of Ultrasonic, Microwave and Combined Microwave–Ultrasonic Pretreatment of Municipal Sludge on Anaerobic Digester Performance

Anaerobic digestion is one of the most effective means for the stabilisation of sludge. However, it has a very slow rate-limiting hydrolysis phase which is attributed to the low biodegradability of cell walls and the presence of extracellular biopolymers. This study aims at investigating the effect...
