Enhancing Waste-Activated Sludge Valorisation Through Sequential Recovery of Polyhydroxyalkanoates and Extracellular Polymeric Substances
This study presents a coupled route for recovering intracellular polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from waste-activated sludge. A direct accumulation approach was applied without prior microbial enrichment, using biomass collected from two membrane bioreactor (MBR) configurations:...
