The stability of biochars derived from sewage sludge was found to be closely related to their content and character of C. Biochars with higher aromaticity, lower organic content, and higher pyrolysis temperatures were more stable, while low-temperature biochars were more susceptible to oxidation. The more aromatic structure of C limited access of O2 molecules to biochar interior, resulting in concentrated aging processes on the surface layer and less property changes.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of abiotic aging of sewage sludge (SSL)-derived biochars on their physicochemical properties and in consequence on their stability. Biochars produced at 500 or 700 degrees C from SSLs with a different composition and properties were incubated at different temperatures (-20, 4, 20, 60, and 90 degrees C) for 6 and 12 months. Pristine and aged biochars were characterized in terms of their composition and properties using a range of complementary methods. The results showed that SSL-derived biochars will not be as stable as previously thought in the long term. The stability of the SSL-derived biochars was closely related to the content and character of C. The biochars that had more C in their composition and, apart from aromatic C, also aliphatic matter/carbon substances deposited in surface pores (i.e. those produced from SSL with a lower initial ash content and a lower degree of aromaticity) were less stable than the biochars with a lower C content and a typically aromatic character of C (i.e. those derived from SSL with a higher initial ash content and a higher degree of aromaticity). Their oxidation led to partial mineralization of aliphatic chains or organic surface film and manifested itself in a greater changes in their properties. The low-temperature biochars (BC-500) with lower aromaticity were found to be more susceptible to oxidation than the high-temperature ones (BC-700) with higher aromaticity. The more aromatic structure of C limited access of O2 molecules to biochar interior, due to which the processes occurring during aging were concentrated in their surface layer and their properties were less change. It can therefore be concluded that pyrolysis of SSL with higher aromaticity and a lower organic content and higher pyrolysis temperatures will lead to obtaining more stable SSL-derived biochars.
