Continuous dewatering of sludge and aqueous slurries by sodium polyacrylate

Aqueous slurries such as sludge are typically dewatered thermally or through compressive systems such as presses or centrifuges. A new approach to dewatering these slurries is presented and validated. A dilute suspension of sodium polyacrylate (a superabsorbent polymer) in water was pumped through a...
