Hydrochar improves the dewaterability of digestate from anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and waste activated sludge: A neglected benefit

Puntos clave

• Hydrochar significantly improves the dewaterability of digestate, providing a crucial benefit rarely highlighted.
• The dewaterability improvement leads to a more efficient management of digestate, reducing disposal issues sustainably.
• Assessment using physical and chemical properties shows a notable increase in performance metrics post-treatment with hydrochar.
• Cultivating efficient waste management solutions with hydrochar demonstrates the need for further exploration in large-scale applications.
