Decoupling EPS-bound and intracellular phosphorus in waste activated sludge: A low-disturbance strategy for controlled recovery
ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) in waste activated sludge (WAS) exists in both intracellular stores and fractions associated with extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). These EPS-bound phosphorus species are often stabilized through metal – phosphate – EPS linkages, which complicate their selective recovery. In this study,...
