Comparative Analysis of the Measurement Methods of Bound Water Content in Municipal Sewage Sludge

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dewatering of municipal sewage sludge is a current problem due to the huge production of this waste. The bound water content in sludge is closely related to the sludge dewatering performance. By comparative analysis of the measurement methods of the bound water content in sludge, this article points out their respective advantages and disadvantages, as well as the respects which should be noted in practice.
