Cation exchange resin as a superior pretreatment for synchronous floc disintegration and enhanced acidogenesis of chemically enhanced primary sludge

Key Points

• Enhanced acidogenesis occurs with cation exchange resin treatment, improving sludge processing.
• Key evidence shows a significant increase in floc disintegration efficiency during the process.
• Assessment using combined chemical and physical treatment techniques enhances the overall efficacy of sludge management.
• This method highlights a novel approach to optimize waste treatment processes, fostering more sustainable practices.
