Résumé

Flocculants play crucial roles in sludge treatment, while the specific impact of chemical and bio-flocculants on sludge anaerobic fermentation was unknown. This study unveiled the contrasting effects of chitosan (CTS) and poly‑aluminum chloride (PAC) on volatile fatty acids (VFAs) generation during sludge fermentation. CTS supplementation resulted in 17.2 % increase in VFAs production, while PAC exposure led to 7.6 % reduction compared to the control. Further investigation revealed that CTS facilitated sludge solubilization and hydrolysis, thus providing sufficient organic substrates for VFAs generation. Additionally, environmental-friendly CTS exposure positively influenced the abundance and activity of functional anaerobes, as well as the expression of genes associated with VFAs biosynthesis. In contrast, PAC exposure resulted in the formation of larger sludge flocs, which hindered WAS solubilization and hydrolysis. Meanwhile, its potential microbial toxicity also impeded the microbial metabolic activity (i.e., genetic expressions), resulting in unsatisfactory VFAs production.
