In order to accelerate the reaction rate of the hydrolysis, many pretreatment conditions had been taken into account. In this study, thermal pretreatment and alkaline pretreatment were combined with each other, serving as a thermal-alkaline pretreatment approach. Firstly, an orthogonal designed batch experiment was conducted to evaluate the pretreatment conditions, and then the optimal conditions were applied to an osmotic membrane bioreactor for a long-term investigation. Based on batch experiments, sludge treated by NaOH at pH 9 or 10 showed a better effect in cell solubilization. Sludge treated by Ca(OH)2 at pH 9, and sludge treated by NaOH at pH 9 or 10 showed advantages in methane production. Ultimately, sludge treated by NaOH at pH 9 and then heated at 90 \u00b0C for 60 min was selected as the optimal pretreatment condition. During the long-term operation of osmotic membrane bioreactor for sludge anaerobic digestion, the volume methane production of the sludge treated by thermal-alkaline was maintained at around 200\u2013300 mL\/L\/d, which was 2\u20133 times of the sludge treated by ultrasound.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2166\/wst.2022.146","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,2]],"date-time":"2022-05-02T15:43:37Z","timestamp":1651506217000},"page":"2786-2796","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2166\/iwapcrossmarkpolicypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Methane
