Abstract
⺠We evaluate the effect of microwave with NaOH treatment on digestibility of sludge. ⺠Our findings show better performance in the anaerobic digester with pretreatment. ⺠The solubilization in pretreated sludge was 18 times higher than in raw sludge. ⺠The relative improvement of digester properties increased as HRT was reduced. ⺠Microwave/alkali pretreatment is effective in anaerobic biodegradability of sludge.
