The present disclosure discloses a method for preparing a sludge conditioner from water supply sludge and a use of the sludge conditioner. The sludge conditioner is prepared by mixing the water supply sludge and sewage sludge. The method includes the following steps: mixing the water supply sludge and the sewage sludge in proportion, adding a pore forming agent, stirring a mixture uniformly, and conducting mechanical dehydration, air-drying, grinding, sieving, and pyrolysis to obtain the sludge conditioner. The conditioner is used in advanced oxidation technologies such as catalyzed/activated ozone oxidation, persulfate oxidation, and Fenton oxidation to condition the sludge and enhance dehydration performance. The sludge carbon-based conditioner with efficient catalytic performance and adsorption performance is prepared from the sludge of a water supply plant and a sewage plant, and a chemical conditioning technology of advanced oxidation is coupled for improving the dehydration performance of sludge and adsorbing heavy metals.

To remove a contaminant from a liquid, a pulsed electrical arc discharge is effected between two electrodes immersed in the liquid, thereby creating a plurality of particles within the liquid. One or both of the electrodes is metallic, for example iron or titanium. Before the pulsed electrical arc discharge is terminated, another step that promotes destruction of the contaminant by particles, such as removing the particles from the liquid or adding an oxidizer to the liquid, is performed. In the case of the extra step being adding an oxidizer to the liquid, preferably the termination of the pulsed electrical arc discharge is followed by allowing the liquid and the particles therein to age.

A method of reducing a concentration of hydrogen peroxide from wastewater includes diluting the wastewater with water having a lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide than the wastewater to produce a diluted wastewater, contacting the diluted wastewater with a dissolved iron compound at an acidic pH to form a partially treated wastewater having a lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide than the diluted wastewater, and precipitating iron solids from the partially treated wastewater by raising a pH of the partially treated wastewater to form a neutralized partially treated wastewater.

Compositions for treating a waste source, and related methods are described herein. The composition includes a biochar impregnated with iron.

A method for reducing the amount of acrylamide in recovered water from a fryer stack. This invention provides a method to treat acrylamide in the waste water/process water. Organic compounds such as phenols, acrylamide and phenolic compounds can be oxidized in the presence of oxidizing compounds like hypo and Fenton reagent. Fenton reagent is a product of reaction of Iron Salts (like Ferrous Sulphate-FeSO4) and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). It generates OH* (radical) which has significantly more oxidation power compared to traditional oxidizing agents such as Chlorine . The fryer stack water is collected and treated using Fenton reagent such that the Acrylamide levels are reduced to less than 0.1 ppb in the recovered water.
