Article Abstract
To enable the development of microbial agents and identify suitable candidate used for biodrying, the existence and function of Bacillus thermoamylovorans during sewage sludge biodrying merits investigation. This study isolated a strain of B. thermoamylovorans during sludge biodrying, submitted it for complete genome sequencing and analyzed its potential microbial functions. After biodrying, the moisture content of the biodrying material decreased from 66.33% to 50.18%, and B. thermoamylovorans was the ecologically dominant Bacillus, with the primary annotations associated with amino acid transport and metabolism (9.53%) and carbohydrate transport and metabolism (8.14%). It contains 96 carbohydrate-active- enzyme-encoding gene counts, mainly distributed in glycoside hydrolases (33.3%) and glycosyl transferases (27.1%). The virulence factors are mainly associated with biosynthesis of capsule and polysaccharide capsule. This work indicates that among the biodrying microorganisms, B. thermoamylovorans has good potential for degrading recalcitrant and readily degradable components, thus being a potential microbial agent used to improve biodrying.

Article Synopsis
- Machine learning techniques were applied to develop predictive models for moisture ratio (MR) and composting temperature (CT) in the biodrying process of municipal sludge (MS) in order to improve activated carbon preparation.
- Six different machine learning models were utilized, with the Gaussian process regression (GPR) emerging as the most effective, achieving high accuracy in predictions (R values of 0.9967 for MR and 0.9958 for CT).
- A user-friendly software interface was also created to help researchers and engineers easily use the GPR model for real-time predictions, enhancing the overall efficiency of the drying process.

Water-based paint sludge generated from the automotive industry is considered a hazardous waste due to its high carbon content and is challenging and costly to manage. This study investigates the management of water-based paint sludge through the composting process, considering its high carbon content. The water-based paint sludge was composted in five separate reactors with the addition of treatment sludge from the same industry as co-substrate and inoculum, as well as sunflower stalks as a bulking agent.

Article Synopsis
- Biodrying technology successfully improves sewage sludge (SS) treatment for cement kiln co-incineration by reducing energy consumption and enhancing fuel properties, with a significant 65.5% water removal and a 76.0% increase in heating value after 11 days.
- The study found that using biodried SS in cement kilns saves 5.61 kg of coal per tonne of clinker produced while achieving a high heat utilization efficiency of 93.7%, though it raised emissions of pollutants like NO and SO.
- Overall, the biodrying combined with cement kiln process shows a potential reduction in CO emissions by 385.7 kg per tonne of SS, highlighting biodried products' greater utility as alternative fuels over fertilizers.

Exposure to high levels of microbial contaminants during waste disposal leads to the development of various diseases, including respiratory symptoms and gastrointestinal infections. In this study, the emissions of airborne bacteria and fungi during the process of sludge bio-drying were investigated. The recorded emission levels of airborne bacteria and fungi were 2398 ± 1307 CFU/m and 1963 ± 468 CFU/m, respectively.

As a dewatering method of high moisture solid waste sludge, biodrying still faces environmental problems such as material loss and greenhouse gas emission in the process of treatment. In this study, biochar and magnesium chloride were used to explore the synergistic effect of enhancing sludge biodrying and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The highest temperature of biodrying was raised to 68.
