摘      要：In order to characterize the organic properties of waste activated sludge in a wastewater treatment plant,organic matter within sludge was extracted with NH 3 ·H 2 O preferentially,and subsequently fractionated into five fractions using XAD-8/XAD-4 *** to a 63.8%-71.1% of organic matter within the sludge could be efficiently extracted by NH 3 ·H 2 *** results showed that hydrophobic acid and hydrophilic fraction were two main components among the sludge organic matter （accounting for 32.2% and 48.0% of the bulk organic matter,respectively）,whereas transphilic acid,hydrophobic neutral and transphilic neutral were quite low （accounting for 9.2%,5.8% and 4.8%,respectively）.Despite that the extractant of NH 3 ·H 2 O showed a relatively higher extraction efficiency of the aromatic components,the relatively low aromaticity of the organic fractions implied that those non-aromatic components could also be effectively extracted,especially for neutral and hydrophilic *** addition,acidic fractions contained more aromatic humic-like components,whereas the neutral fractions had a greater content of aromatic proteins and soluble microbial byproduct-like *** of sludge organics with NH3·H2O and subsequential fractionation using XAD resins could be a novel method for further characterization of sludge organics.
