Abstract:Biopolymers can be recovered from aerobic sludge and used for environmental applications, such as phosphorus adsorbent material, instead being sent to sanitary landfills. In this resource recovery perspective, this work aimed to study the recovery of alginate-like exopolymer (ALE) from activated sludge (AS) compared to aerobic granular sludge (AGS). ALE-based biosorbent was prepared and tested to remove phosphorus from aqueous solutions, and the adsorption kinetics and isotherm models were studied. The recover… Show more
