Product Characteristics of Sludge Pyrolysis and Adsorption Performance of Metals by Char

The microwave heating system was used for sludge pyrolysis. The raw sludge and KOH-immersed sludge were pyrolyzed and their product characteristics were determined. The research results are advantageous to understand the influence of KOH activation on characteristics of pyrolysis products and the ad...
