“…20,21 However, the component that plays a dominant role in sludge dewatering (PS or PN), as well as the spatial subcomponent (TB-EPS, LB-EPS, or S-EPS), remains to be further claried. [22][23][24][25] In this study, PDMDAAC, ferric chloride (FeCl 3 ), and HCl were utilized as conditioning agents for achieving deep sludge dewatering. Initially, the effects of different combinations on sludge MC and capillary suction time (CST) were examined to determine the optimal parameters.…”
