Sorption and release of organics by primary, anaerobic, and aerobic activated sludge mixed with raw municipal wastewater.

New activated sludge processes that utilize sorption as a major mechanism for organics removal are being developed to maximize energy recovery from wastewater organics, or as enhanced primary treatment technologies. To model and optimize sorption-based activated sludge processes, further knowledge a...
