Co-pyrolysis characteristics of municipal sewage sludge and hazelnut shell blend have been studied in this work. The behavior of co-pyrolysis was researched by a method of multi-heating rates and different blend ratios to analyze thermal decomposition stages. The experimental data of the blended samples in TG-DTG plots were compared with calculated data to investigate the interactions during co-pyrolysis. The bio-chars investigated by SEM and FTIR spectra were used to examine the physical and chemical changes. The results showed there are four thermal decomposition stages during co-pyrolysis, with hydrocarbon transforming to gas evolution in the second and the third stages. The inhibitive interaction occurred between 260 and 400°C and the accelerative interaction occurred between 450 and 900°C during co-pyrolysis. The activation energy of the blended sample was 51.97-178.84kJ/mol in the second stage and 207.04-630.73kJ/mol in the third stage calculated by DAEM.

The purpose of this study is to examine how co-pyrolysis of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and rice husk is impacted by LDPE. It also looks into the physicochemical characteristics, thermal behavior, and kinetic parameters of these materials. To understand the thermal behavior through TGA, rice husk and LDPE blends in the ratios of LDPE: RH (50:50), LDPE: RH (25:75), and LDPE: RH (75:25) were prepared and tested.

To explore the effects of the components in the raw materials and by-products of co-pyrolysis on the physicochemical properties of biochar, rice husk (RH, which has a high percentage of lignin and a low content of N) and sawdust (SD, which has a high percentage of both cellulose and N) were used as typical raw materials to prepare co-pyrolysis biochar. The benzene vapor adsorption performance of the obtained biochar was then tested on a fixed-bed device. At the same time, the by-product components generated during pyrolysis were analyzed using thermogravimetric (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Co-pyrolysis behaviors, kinetics, and thermodynamic parameters of petrochemical sludge (PS), lignite (HL), and pine wood (PW) were investigated via fixed-bed reactor experiments and thermogravimetric analysis. Fixed-bed experiments showed H and CO were main gases from PS, HL, and blends, CO from PW and PS, and CO and CH from PS and HL. Thermal analysis indicated that ternary blends' de-volatilization had two parts dominated by PW and HL, respectively.
