Effects of low frequency ultrasound pretreatment on anaerobic digestion of sludge

Arising from escalating wastewater sludge quantity and disposal cost, research work has been initiated to explore improvement of sludge digestion through pretreatment techniques. Amongst possible pretreatment methods, sonication treatment exhibits a greater potential for being environmentally and ec...
