Abstract

Aerobic sludge digestion in the presence of Fenton's reagent and hydrogen peroxide was examined. Fenton's reagent considerably improved the aerobic digestion process in comparison with hydrogen peroxide as well as classical aerobic digestion. Application of Fenton's reagent also led to improvement of settling and dewatering properties of sludge and much better clarity of supernatant. Its drawback, however, is the formation of chemical precipitate and an apparent decrease in pH which might inhibit biochemical processes important for aerobic digestion efficiency.
