<p>Provided herein is an efficient solid-liquid separation method for bio-waste material treatment. The method contemplates the addition of certain cationic polyelectrolytes (or "polymers" as used herein) to the bio-waste materials prior to solid-liquid separation, such as centrifugation, thus greatly facilitate the subsequent solid-liquid separation step. The liquid portion, once separated from solid portion using the subject methods, can be subjected to further downstream nutrient recovery manipulations (such as phosphate precipitation and ammonia stripping) with potentially better efficiency, or may be used directly in a number of operations, such as a liquid diluent for feedstocks in an ethanol plant.</p> |
