  • Are cationic polyacrylamide copolymers used for sludge dewatering?
  • Environmental Sciences Europe 30, Article number: 16 (2018) Cite this article Cationic polyacrylamide copolymers (PAMs) are used for sludge dewatering in municipal waste water treatment and might enter the environment by spreading of the sludge on agricultural land.
  • Are cationic polyacrylamide copolymers bad for the environment?
  • Cationic polyacrylamide copolymers (PAMs) are used for sludge dewatering in municipal waste water treatment and might enter the environment by spreading of the sludge on agricultural land. Concern has been expressed since little is known about the degradation of PAMs in soils.
  • Does the copolymer conditioned sludge improve the dewatering performance?
  • This result shows that after the sludge was conditioned by the copolymer, the bound water in the floc gaps was converted into free water, thereby improving the dewatering performance.
  • How does TB-EPs affect sludge dewatering?
  • Furthermore, the presence of TB-EPS accounts for the negative charge on the surface of sludge particles. Some studies have reported a gradual increase in the ζ-potential as TB-EPS decomposes, resulting in improved sludge dewatering ( Guo et al., 2021; Jibao Liu et al., 2016 ).
