Pyrolysis of sewage sludge as an alternative to incineration
Original language description
Sewage sludge, the material resulting from wastewater treatment, contains nutrients, organic matter, and a range of pollutants such as heavy metals, pathogens, microplastics, or organic pollutants (pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors including hormones, PAHs, POPs, or PFASs) (Hušek et al., 2022a). The presence of these pollutants limits their direct use on agricultural land or compost production. In 2022 the JRC of the European Commission in the document Screening risk assessment of organic pollutants and environmental impacts from sewage sludge management stated that Only incineration at high temperatures ensures that all organic priority pollutants are effectively removed (Huygens et al., 2022). However, there are other technologies for nsludge thermal treatment, such as pyrolysis, which are alternatives to incineration, but a demonstration of the suitability for the removal of organic contaminants is required.
