Description
Summary:This work focuses on the effect of microwave energy on sewage sludge. The vary of the chemical oxygen demand (COD), the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), the biogas production and the moisture content of sewage sludge at different specific microwave power level were investigated. The results showed that the microwave electromagnetic field accelerated during dewatering process and furthermore increased the biogas production and the biodegradability of the sludge.
