Abstract
The composition, structure, and morphology of dehydrated sewage sludge, a by-product of pulp and paper production, were studied. The thermal characteristics of sewage sludge were investigated. An elemental analysis of the sewage sludge was carried out, the results of which revealed a large number of noncombustible elements (5.5%), including heavy metals (vanadium, chromium, nickel, zinc, and strontium), compared to other types of fuel. Thermogravimetric studies on the thermal decomposition of dehydrated sediment were carried out. The thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric curves were described, and the temperature ranges of drying, release of volatile substances, and combustion of coke residue were determined. Microscope photos showed that the particle size of the sediment varied from 0.5 and 350 nm, and amorphous flakes and crystalline inclusions were the main elements of its structure.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes theoretical and applied articles on the chemistry and physics of solid fuels and carbonaceous materials. It addresses the composition, structure, and properties of solid fuels. The aim of the published articles is to demonstrate how novel discoveries, developments, and theories may be used in improved analysis and design of new types of fuels, chemicals, and by-products. The journal is particularly concerned with technological aspects of various chemical conversion processes and includes papers related to geochemistry, petrology and systematization of fossil fuels, their beneficiation and preparation for processing, the processes themselves, and the ultimate recovery of the liquid or gaseous end products.
