Experimental investigations were conducted to examine the impact of pyrolysis temperature on sewage sludge biochar (SSB). The results showed that heavy metals were enriched and confined in biochar SSB as the pyrolysis temperature increased, leading to a reduction in ecological toxicity. The pyrolysis of sewage sludge at a suitable temperature converted bioavailable/degradable heavy metals into a more stable oxidizable/residual form.
Experimental investigations were carried out to study the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the characteristics, structure and total heavy metal contents of sewage sludge biochar (SSB). The changes in chemical forms of the heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb and Cd) caused by pyrolysis were analyzed, and the potential ecological risk of heavy metals in biochar (SSB) was evaluated. The conversion of sewage sludge into biochar by pyrolysis reduced the H/C and O/C ratios considerably, resulting in stronger carbonization and a higher degree of aromatic condensation in biochar. Measurement results showed that the pH and specific surface area of biochar increased as the pyrolysis temperature increased. It was found that elements Zn, Cu, Cr and Ni were enriched and confined in biochar SSB with increasing pyrolysis temperature from 300-700 degrees C; however, the residual rates of Pb and Cd in biochar SSB decreased significantly when the temperature was increased from 600 degrees C to 700 degrees C. Measurement with the BCR sequential extraction method revealed that the pyrolysis of sewage sludge at a suitable temperature transferred its bioavailable/degradable heavy metals into a more stable oxidizable/residual form in biochar SSB. Toxicity of heavy metals in biochar SSB could be reduced about four times if sewage sludge was pyrolyzed at a proper temperature; heavy metals confined in sludge SSB pyrolyzed at about 600 degrees C could be assessed as being low in ecological toxicity.
