Abstract :
This study experimentally investigated the ultrasonic separation efficiency of water-activated sludge suspensions, which is in line with our previous work on modeling and control in acoustic separation of suspensions using a numerical-experimental approach. The main conclusion is that ultrasound separation provides a promising technique that could have industrial application for activated sludge separation in the future.
