Settleability and Dewaterability of Sewage Sludge with Modified Diatomite [PDF]
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021 Abstract In this study, cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) modified diatomite and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) modified diatomite were synthesized and used as conditioner in sewage sludge dewatering. The effects of these two types of modified diatomite on the dewaterability and settling performance of activated sludge were studied.
