sludge
Interaction of MPP and biomass:
▪ adsorption/desorption
▪ biofilm infiltration
▪ production of ROS
MPP transfer during dewatering:
▪ „displacement“
▪ dependent on plastic type density
Hypotheses:
▪ high MPP concentration reduces gas/CH4 yield during anaerobic digestion
▪ low density particles are transferred into sludge liquids during dewatering
