Abstract:Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are the key component of bio-aggregates, such as activated sludge, biofilm and granular sludge. They play an important role in the bio-aggregates because of their physic-chemical characteristics and special situation of directly wrapping on the cell wall. The effects of EPS on the settleability and dewaterability of bioaggregates and membrane pollution in membrane bio-reactor (MBR) are reviewed in this paper. It is concluded that the composition and structure of EPS aff… Show more
