Free ammonia pretreatment for anaerobic sludge digestion reduces the spread of antibiotic resistance
2020-09-12
Abstract excerpt
Sludge from the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has been recognized as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Free ammonia (FA, i.e. NH 3 -N) pretreatment has been demonstrated to be able to enhance anaerobic digestion, which is a widely used method for sludge treatment. However, the effect of combined FA pretreatment and anaerobic digestion on the fate of ARGs is still unknown. This study demonst...
