Li, Ji (author), Hao, Xiaodi (author), Gan, W. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Wu, Yuanyuan (author)Alginate like extracellular polymers (ALE) recovered from flocculent sludge has been identified as a kind of highly valuable biomaterials. However, the extraction protocols limit the production of biopolymers as ALE extracted from flocculent sludge is at a lower level, around 90–190 mg/g VSS. Under this circumstance, the eco-friendly and...journal article 2022
