Due to their abundance and the possibility of producing cheap and clean energy, non-lignocellulosic wastes like sewage sludge from industrial and municipal wastes have drawn attention as a feasible alternative to fossil fuels. These abundant, cost-effective resources may help minimize the effects of climate change since they produce less pollution.

This study investigates the potential of using sewage sludge and low-rank coal for the sustainable production of sulfuric acid, which can then be used for the hydrolysis of straw through ASPEN PLUS simulation. Pyrolysis and gasification processes were used to convert sewage sludge and low-rank coal into syngas, which were then purified and oxidized to produce HSO and NH gas. The pyro-gasification enhanced syngas yield.

Although, there exists a serious threat of low-temperature limitations. So far, certain scientists have shown that barium-based (Ba-based) catalysts have the potential to be highly effective at SCR of NO at low temperatures when ammonia is used as the reducing agent.
