Previous studies demonstrate that free nitrous acid (FNA i.e. HNO2) detaches sewer biofilms, breaks down flocs of waste activated sludge (WAS) and enhances biogas production from WAS. This suggests possible interactions of FNA with organic extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that bind the cells into biofilms or sludge flocs. This study evaluates the chemical interactions and reaction mechanisms between FNA and molecules representative of key EPS in biofilm and sludge flocs. Molecules chosen to represent co
