The use of activated sludge process for biological treatment of domestic and industrial wastewaters generates large amounts of sewage sludge, which is regarded as problematic biowaste. Conventional waste treatment methods such as landfilling and ocean pumping have been used to dispose the unwanted sludge, but this practice is no longer recommended due to serious secondary pollution and strict environmental regulations. Hydrothermal treatment represents a promising alternative that has attracted attention in recent years. In this study, batch experiments of hydrothermal treatment of domestic sewage sludge were conducted under varying conditions (temperature of 150–300 °C, reaction time of 0.5–3.0 h, and sludge concentration of 5–30 g/L). A statistical study of the responses, including disintegration degree and concentration of dissolved compounds, was performed using a response surface methodology. Optimal conditions for hydrothermal treatment of sewage sludge were obtained through mathematical modeling.
