Abstract

MECHANISMS OF VOLATILE SULFUR COMPOUND AND ODOR PRODUCTION IN DIGESTED BIOSOLIDSOdors produced from biosolids has become an increasing problem and often cited as a significant concern of many treatment plant operations. Recent research has shown that most odors are associated with volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), especially methanethiol (MT), dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS); however, little research has been performed to understand the mechanisms of VSC...Author(s)Matthew J.
