Summary

This paper is not directly about microplastics; it compares four pre-treatment methods for sewage sludge to optimize the production of volatile fatty acids through acidogenic fermentation, finding potassium permanganate treatment most effective — relevant to wastewater resource recovery.

Study Type Environmental

Volatile fatty acids (VFA) from sewage sludge represent an excellent recovered resource from wastewater treatment. This study investigated four sludge pre-treatments (namely, potassium permanganate - KMnO<sub>4</sub>, initial pH = 10, initial pH = 2.5 and low-temperature thermal hydrolysis) by operating batch reactors under acidogenic fermentation conditions. Results revealed that 0.1 g KMnO<sub>4</sub>/g of total suspended solids represents the best pre-treatment obtaining up to 2713 mgCOD L<sup>-1</sup> and 452 mgCOD/g of volatile suspended solids. These results also paralleled metataxonomic analysis highlighting changes in prokaryotic microbial structures of sewage sludge of the batch fermentations subjected to the different pre-treatments.
