Measurement of bound water in waste activated sludge: Use of the centrifugal settling method

Research output: Journal Publications and Reviews › RGC 21 - Publication in refereed journal › peer-review

Abstract

The feasibility of employing a centrifugal settling method for measuring the bound water content in waste activated sludge was investigated. The results demonstrated that, for such highly compressible sludge, the centrifugal settling test can only provide information about the cake compressibility and the method proposed by Matsuda and colleagues fails. A method combining vacuum filtration tests and centrifugal settling tests for estimating the bound water content is proposed and compared with expression tests. The agreement was close.
