The invention discloses a method and a device for promoting free radical conditioning and pressure-vertical 
electric field dewatering of 
sludge through microelectrolysis. The method comprises main steps as follows: 
sludge is stirred, a direct-
current electric field is applied, and 
iron powder and a conditioning agent are added for conditioning; the 
sludge enters a pressure-vertical electric fielddewatering device for 
dewatering. According to the method, the microelectrolysis process of an 
iron powder induction 
electrode is enhanced through the 
electric field, generation of Fe<2+> is promoted,activation of 
sulfate is realized, 
sulfate free radicals and high-valence iron ions are produced, 
electrolysis-oxidation-
flocculation coordinated conditioning is performed on the sludge, the functions of 
cracking of the sludge structure, 
bound water release and floc reconstitution are played, and the 
dewatering effect of the conditioned sludge in the pressure-vertical 
electric field is enhanced.The dewatering efficiency is high, the 
water content of the sludge can be reduced to 50% or below, and the 
water content of the sludge is effectively reduced. Besides, the method and the device also have the advantages that the reaction time is short, operation is simple, the application range is wide and the like.
