Abstract:With the growing amount of sludge, sludge resource recovery is getting more and more attention. Anaerobic digestion is one of the most common technologies for sludge treatment. Nowadays, research about the enhancement of sludge digestion keeps growing rapidly, while the research about the influence of organic matters in sludge on the anaerobic digestion mechanism is still developing. This review introduces the influence of dominating organic matters in sludge, protein and polysaccharide, on anaerobic digestion, and summarizes the main methods analyzing the content and structure of protein and polysaccharide in sludge. The analytical methods for advanced structure of protein and polysaccharide are still in its infancy, which become one of the limiting factors to study the mechanism of organic matter transformation during anaerobic digestion, and require further exploration in future.
