Stickiness phenomenon is widely observed in sewage sludge drying practices. This paper is aimed at demonstrating and comparing the sticky properties of sewage sludge through non-agitated and agitated drying tests specially designed for sewage sludge. Special attentions were paid to the effects of additives, i.e. CaO, fine sawdust (FSD) and coarse sawdust (CSD), on the adhesive and cohesive characteristics of sewage sludge. The results indicated that the sticky properties of the sludge were markedly different under the different testing methods, and was also greatly influenced by CaO or sawdust addition. For instance, in the non-agitated drying tests, CaO can significantly enhance the maximum adhesive and cohesive stresses of the sludge, whereas in the agitated drying tests, the torque of agitation, which strongly correlated with the cohesive stress of the sludge, was lowered by CaO addition. During agitated drying process, sludge lump with CaO addition started to break up at higher moisture content than that of original sludge. On the other hand, sawdust also affected the sticky properties of sludge in a way that was totally different with CaO. After sawdust addition (at 5–10%WS (wet sludge basis)), the cohesive stress of the sludge was markedly increased due to strengthening of mechanical interlocking inside the sludge, whereas the adhesiveness of the sludge was lowered by sawdust addition. The influencing mechanisms of CaO and sawdust under the different testing methods were detailedly discussed in the paper.
