Fibrous super-bridging agents simultaneously improve contaminants removal and sludge dewatering via a very compact three-in-one process
Abstract A compact three-in-one water treatment process, combining a flocculant, a fibrous super-bridging agent, and a screen-based floc retention system, simultaneously improves water treatment and sludge dewatering.The presence of fibrous materials allows for the Sweatpants formation of very large flocs, efficient floc separation via screening (w
