The present study investigated the odor emission potential of activated sludge through comprehensive assessment for physicochemical properties and bacterial profile of sludge. Three types of sludges from wastewater treatment plants treating slaughterhouse (SWTP), meat processing (MWTP) and domestic wastewater (DWTP) were used based on distinct morphological features which were speculated to impact odor generation. Total element S in the SWTP sludge with relatively more disintegrated cellular debris exhibited higher level than that in the MWTP and DWTP sludge, while the emitted odorants (hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan) showed the opposite patterns (i.e., the lowest level for the SWTP sludge). Nitrifying bacteria was only detected in the SWTP sludge, which was well in line with abundant nitrate in the corresponding aeration tank. Principal component analysis indicated that the potential of the odor emission from the sludge had strong correlations with dehydrogenase activity, and nitrate, which implies that these parameters may serve as referring indices for evaluating the potential of odor emission of sludge or treated product.
