The effectiveness of divalent cation addition for highly saline activated sludge cultures: Influence of monovalent/divalent ratio and specific cations by Raghavendran Sivasubramanian (16931775)

“…It was particularly important in describing hydrophobicity, sludge volume index (SVI) and specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR), with r_partialof 0.879, 0.971 and 0.966 respectively in models that had an r²_adj greater than 0.93. Lower M/D also increased biomass concentrations and reduced extracellular polysaccharides, the latter which in turn correlated strongly with many shape and surface charge measures. …”
