Hydrolysis and sorption constants for sludge (Kd) determined for cyclic siloxanes.
Hydrolysis increased with temperature and decreased with size of cyclic siloxanes.
Sorption increased with molecule size with LogKd values from 1.46 to 3.84.
During single-stage anaerobic digestion, >91% of siloxanes end up in biogas.
Cyclic siloxanes volatilization predicted to be mitigated using a pre-digester.
