Abstract: | The pyrolysis of
an urban plant sewage sludge carried out under He atmosphere was studied by
thermogravimetric-mass spectrometric (TG-MS) and thermogravimetric-gas chromatographic-mass
spectrometric (TG-GC-MS) analyses. The sludge was thermally degraded with
a heating rate of 10°C min–1 in the 20–1000°C
interval; its mass loss is 51.8% up to 600°C and 61.4% up to 1000°C.
Gas chromatographic analyses of the gas released during major thermogravimetric
events allow the identification of various chemical species. Water, carbon
mono- and di-oxide, several hydrocarbons (up to C5, both saturated and unsaturated)
were the major detected species. Minor amount of pollutant species, such as
cyano-compounds, were also detected. Among the released species hydrocarbons
constituted the major fraction (53%), thus suggesting their immediate exploitation
as fuel gas. The pyrolysis behaviour of this sample was then compared with
other sewage sludge arising from wastewater treatment plants subjected to
anaerobic digestion as found in literature data. |
