Under the optimum operating conditions (pH 11, 1250 gH2O2/ kg TS and reaction time 45 min), H2O2 oxidation aided with alkaline hydrolysis resulted in good removal of solids (TS 28.1, VS 25.3, MLSS 24.6 and MLVSS 21.4), CST reduction 28.4 and sCOD concentration 8863 mg/L. The current method was shown to be an adequate pretreatment for further treatment of the waste activated sludge by biological digestion. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London. date: 2016 publisher: CRC Press/Balkema official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85009726794&doi=10.1201%2fb21942-52&partnerID=40&md5=1ef12dbe1ee3108c52ad6a17c9d6ff5c id_number: 10.1201/b21942-52 full_text_status: none publication: Engineering Challenges for Sustainable Future - Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Civil, offshore and Environmental Engineering, ICCOEE 2016 pagerange: 263-266 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781138029781 citation: Heng, G.C. and Chen, K.W. and Isa, M.H.
