Abstract
Dewatering from sludge is an important sustainable issue in recent years, in this work, we found the unique behavior: Skeleton builder additions can improve the dewatering performance greatly, which related to the different pore structure of skeleton builder. As compared to the coal ash, sawdust and rice husk char are easier to construct porous channels in the sludge body, which is responsible for the discharge of water. the dewatering efficiency can increased from approximately 30%-65% by pipe network effect and interlayer channel effect, a sufficient amount of skeleton builders establish a complete pipe drainage network in the sludge body, allowing the water to be discharged fluently. Moreover, the skeleton builders can cause the sludge body to form a layered structure. Under the combined action of pipe network effect and interlayer channel effect, the deep-dewatering effect increased largely by the addition of skeleton builders.
