Comparison of EPS Extraction Methods Across Wastewater Sludge Matrices: Recovery Performance and Potential Extraction-Induced Cellular Material Release

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) play an important role in wastewater sludge structure and stability, yet measured EPS concentrations depend strongly on the extraction method. This study compared three established protocols (thermal sodium carbonate, thermal sodium chlori...
