Abstract
In order to explore an effective method to enhance application of activated sludge, kinetic model to describe extraction process of sludge protein was investigated based on experimental results. Relative molecular mass of sludge protein was tested using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The results showed that the extraction mechanism of sludge protein under thermal alkaline hydrolysis condition was in line with first-order continuous reaction kinetics. The kinetic model was established to explain relationships among first-order rate constant, pH value, and temperature. The optimum conditions were sludge retention time of 21d, extraction time of 2h, pH of 12, and temperature of 130°C. The extraction yield of sludge protein was 69% under the optimized conditions. Relatively molecular mass of sludge protein was between 26.478kDa and 430.86kDa, and the protein could be used as an excellent foaming agent.
