اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]Activated sludge samples from seven full-scale plants were investigated in order to determine the relationship between floc structure and floc stability. Floc stability was determined by shear sensitivity and floc strength. Floc structure was considered in terms of two size scales, the micro- and macrostructure. The microstructure refers to the organization of the floc components, such as the individual microorganisms. The macrostructure refers to the overall floc. The floc macrostructure was characterized by filament index, sludge volume index, size, and fractal dimension. It had a significant impact on floc stability. Large and open flocs with low fractal dimensions containing large number of filaments were more shear sensitive and had lower floc strength compared to small and dense flocs. Fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis indicated that the organization of the bacterial cells might also have an effect on the floc stability.
