Purified terephthalic acid (PTA) production generates substantial sludge, which is characterized by the high content of metal elements (such as Ca, Co and Mn) in the ash, classifying it as a hazardous organic waste. This study comprehensively investigated the synergistic pyrolysis of PTA sludge ash (PTASA) and phoenix tree’s leaves (PTL) for syngas production. Through systematic characterisation of the physicochemical properties of PTASA and PTL, combined with thermal degradation behavior analysis and pyrolysis experiments, the aim was to determine the optimal conditions for producing high-value gas. The results showed that when the mixing ratio of PS850 (PTASA calcinated at 850℃) reached 30 %, the values of total mass loss (TML) and comprehensive pyrolysis index (CPI) as well as the quality of syngas have reached the best level. In addition, compared with PTL mono-pyrolysis, adding PTASA could increase the total volatile products by 16.4 %, owing to the cooperative pyrolysis for C
O, C
C and C-O groups. Moreover, in-situ co-pyrolysis proved superior to ex-situ conditions for hydrogen-rich gas production. The PTASA calcined at 750°C(PS750) exhibited the most pronounced catalytic effect with stable microstructure and excellent metal mineral composition, and the total effective gas (CO + H₂ + CH₄) yields of 442.52 mL/g, which was 4 % higher than that of the co-pyrolysis process of PS850 and PTL. This study provides significant insights for expanding the high-value utilization of solid waste resources.
