Additional information

The work presented investigates, for the first time, the use of ‘synthetic sludge’ as a non-biological (and less complex but effective) surrogate for the study of activated sludge properties in waste-water treatment. The paper has promoted a clearer understanding of the influence of cations and polyelectrolytes and shown that synthetic and activated sludge behave very similarly during conditioning. The approach is of practical use and will allow process optimisation. As a result of this and subsequent papers, we were invited to contribute a chapter in a book: "Sludge Types, Treatment Processes and Disposal" (Nova publishers).
