This study focuses on the conversion of biosolids to biochar and its further use in adsorbing per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from contaminated water.
Biosolids (stabilised sewage sludge) are the final solid residues of wastewater treatment process and generally applied on agricultural land in many countries, including Australia. Per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) a group synthetic fluorinated chemicals with ubiquitous applications consumer products persist environment. Globally, PFAS have been detected biosolids considered source discharge to The thermal is gaining increasing interest water sector. Therefore, viability techniques for...
This case study examines the feasibility of production biochar from biosolids using energy neutral pyrolysis process ASPEN Plus modeling followed by a detailed techno‐economic assessment. The exercise demonstrated that can be with moisture content in as high 50 wt.%. In lower than 50%, surplus will available which converted to electrical energy; generating additional revenue. Further analysis on effect temperature revealed increased when reached 450 650°C, but it gradually decreased above...
Two Australian thermal coals were treated with four different ionic liquids (ILs) at temperatures as low 100 °C. The ILs used 1-butylpyridinium chloride ([Bpyd][Cl]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([Emim][DCM]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Bmim][Cl]), and tricyanomethanide ([Bmim][TCM]). Visual comparisons made between the raw IL-treated via optical microscopy. Changes in behavior of these compared against pyrolysis experiments a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). functional group...
