Textile dyeing sludge (TDS) poses a challenge for both disposal and resource utilization. This study investigates the co-hydrothermal carbonization (co-HTC) of TDS and garden waste (GW) to promote the dechlorination of TDS and enhance the properties of derived hydrochar. TDS was mixed with GW in different ratios and reacted at 180°C to 260°C for 2–6 h. The dechlorination rate (DE) for TDS under standalone HTC was 7.79 %, whereas co-HTC with GW markedly increased the DE to 46.39 % – 66.78 %. Under appropriate HTC conditions and GW mix ratios, the DE increased by 11.9 % – 26.5 % compared with the theoretical value expected solely from the “dilution effect” of GW, indicating that synergistic dechlorination effect occurred between the components of GW and TDS, which further enhanced chlorine removal. Furthermore, considering typical downstream utilization scenarios of hydrochar, the influence of co-HTC on hydrochar performance was assessed in terms of fuel and adsorption properties. Co-HTC enhances the volatile matter and carbon content of the hydrochar, improving its fuel performance, the HHV increased from 10.42 MJ/kg to 18.14 MJ/kg, the volatile content increased from 54.55 % to a maximum of 75.80 %. Although the addition of GW partially obstructs the hydorchar’s porous structure, it also increases the amount of oxygen-containing functional groups, adsorption kinetics for two representative pollutants further demonstrated the altered adsorption behavior of co-HTC-derived hydrochar. Especially, the equilibrium adsorption amounts for MB increased from 32.80 mg/g to 45.99 – 52.97 mg/g. Overall, these findings provide new insights into the effective management of TDS through co-HTC with GW, highlighting its potential for resource recovery and environmental remediation.
