The effect of carbonization temperature on textural properties of sewage sludge-derived biochars as potential adsorbents.

This article presents ways of recovering waste in the form of anaerobically digested and dried sewage sludge (average humidity approx. 6 wt%) by carbonization at various temperatures in the range of 400-900 °C. The resulting products, biochars, are investigated in terms of yield, surface properties and Raman spectra analysis.
