    Abstract:
    In this study, an innovative approach was developed to enhance the hydrolysis through phase-separated pretreatment by removing exopolymeric substances via mild sonication followed by thermo-Fenton disintegration. The exopolymeric substances fragmentation was enhanced at the sonic specific energy input of 2.58 kJ/kg total solids. After exopolymeric substance removal, the disintegration of biomass by thermo-Fenton yield the solubilization of 29.8 % at Fe2+:H2O2 dosage and temperature of 0.009:0.036 g/g suspended solids and 80 °C as compared to thermo-Fenton alone disintegration. The polyhydroxybutyrate content of 93.1 % was accumulated by Bacillus aryabhattai at the optimum time of 42 h, while providing 70 % (v/v) pre-treated supernatant as a carbon source under nutrient-limiting condition. Moreover, the biogas generation of 0.187 L/g chemical oxygen demand was achieved using settled pretreated sludge. The pretreated sludge sample thus served as a carbon source for polyhydroxybutyrate producers as well as substrate for biogas production.
