Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Metals in Diverse Biochar Products: Effect of Feedstock Type and Pyrolysis Temperature

Hattan A. Alharbi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the contents of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals (HMs) in biochars generated from different sources and pyrolysis temperatures. The results showed that the contents of PAHs and HMs in biochar were significantly influenced by the feedstock and pyrolysis temperature. Therefore, the effects of feedstock and pyrolysis temperature should be considered in the production and use of biochar.

Influence of pyrolysis temperature on sludge biochar: the ecological risk assessment of heavy metals and the adsorption of Cd(II)

Menglan Wu et al.

Summary: Pyrolysis of sludge to biochar immobilizes heavy metals and reduces the potential ecological risk. The adsorption capacity of Cd(II) by sludge biochar is affected by pH and the presence of coexisting cations and anions. Different properties formed by pyrolysis temperature result in variations in the adsorption mechanisms.

Thermal treatment of sewage sludge: A comparative review of the conversion principle, recovery methods and bioavailability-predicting of phosphorus

Ya Zhu et al.

Summary: This paper reviews methods for recovering different forms of phosphorus from solid products obtained from different sludge thermal treatment methods, as well as the bioavailability of the recovered phosphorus products. Incineration of sewage sludge is currently the most established and effective method for recovering phosphorus, while one wet chemical method has been commercialized and is expected to be further developed for industrial applications in the future. Pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization still have research gaps, but both have the potential to recover phosphorus and should be further explored based on their principles and laboratory performance.

Effect of basic washing parameters on the chemical composition of empty fruit bunches during washing pretreatment: A detailed experimental, pilot, and kinetic study

Abhishek Singhal et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of washing parameters on the chemical composition of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) and recommended optimal conditions for large-scale washing pre-treatment. The results showed significant removal rates of elements such as Cl, S, K, ash, and N after washing EFB, with a second-order leaching kinetics observed. Pilot tests confirmed the effectiveness of the pre-treatment, supporting the recommended parameters of 10 minutes washing at 50 degrees C with a 1:15 S:L ratio for large-scale applications.

Co-pyrolysis of sewage sludge and organic fractions of municipal solid waste: Synergistic effects on biochar properties and the environmental risk of heavy metals

Xingdong Wang et al.

Summary: The co-pyrolysis of organic fractions of municipal solid waste with sewage sludge can enhance biochar properties, increase pH values and carbon contents, and transform heavy metals into more stable forms, reducing their environmental risk in blended biochars. However, the addition of PVC hindered biochar properties and compromised heavy metals immobilization during sewage sludge pyrolysis.

Moo-Joon Shim et al.

Summary: Cu and Zn concentrations in swine feces need to be lowered before application to prevent environmental problems. This study found that using H2SO4 had the highest removal efficiency for Cu and Zn, but also removed about half of total nitrogen. Additional studies are needed to find a method to maintain TN concentrations while removing Cu and Zn.
