Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of different sludge pretreatment techniques on the characteristics of sludge, the role of sludge pretreatment on the efficiency of anaerobic biodegradation processes, and the potential for biomethane production. 

  • The novelty of this study must more be highlighted in the introduction section.
  • English used in this paper must be carefully polished.
  • Error bars or standard deviation must be added to all Figures and Tables.
  • The following important papers should be cited in this article: 10.15017/1906408; 10.15017/1960668; 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131990.

Reviewer 2 Report

 Dear Sir,

 Greetings!

 The submitted manuscript "Effects of sludge concentration and sludge disintegration and solubilization pretreatment methods on increasing anaerobic biodegradation efficiency and biogas yield". The paper is too general, not suitable as per my opinion. Please highlight the novelty of work in right manner. Clearly discuss outcomes and what research gaps it covers. Please show how this paper has a strong correlation with sustainability concerns. 
Grammar and syntax must be improved. Revision with the help of a native English speaker is highly recommended.

 Thanks
