Optimization of thermal–alkaline pretreatment for dewatering of excess sludge followed by thermal/persulfate oxidation for the elimination of extracellular ARGs in TAP-treated filtrate

This study evaluated the dewatering of excess sludge and the removal of extracellular antibiotic-resistant genes (eARGs) from the treated filtrate by thermal–alkaline pretreatment (TAP) and thermal/persulfate (PS). The optimization of TAP and thermal/PS was investigated during excess sludge dewateri...
