Waste activated sludge (WAS) is formed by a diverse microorganisms, organic and inorganic compounds merged and mixed together in an extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) network. EPS is a complex high-molecular weight macromolecules in WAS that happens to be one of the common analysis to determine the efficiency of treatment. Therefore, different extraction methods has been applied in order to achieve better EPS extraction yield. This paper serves as a base to review the commonly used chemical extraction methods to extract EPS components. The mechanisms, conditions and efficiencies of each of the chemical extraction methods were discussed and compared accordingly. The possible use of different chemical extraction methods for different type of activated sludge were summarized.
