With its hazardous properties but valuable resources and materials, sewage sludge requires innovative management strategies to tackle environmental challenges and create opportunities for energy recovery and circular resource utilization. The most common applications currently include incineration, agricultural use and composting. The trend towards thermal treatment is steadily increasing, especially in Europe. State-of-the-art is to incinerate sewage sludge, which offers the benefits of volume reduction and the destruction of toxins, pathogens as well as the potential for recovery of the critical resource phosphorus from the generated ash. The latter is becoming increasingly important, particularly due to emerging regulations within the EU. Gasification as a thermal treatment method is also gaining traction as a suitable approach. The thermochemical process offers the same benefits as incineration but additionally produces gas (synthesis gas), a versatile fuel for energy generation and a precursor for the chemical industry. Sewage sludge gasification has yet to be adopted on a large scale due to gaps in research, technological development and systemic requirements as well as financial constraints. This review provides a comprehensive overview of legislation related to sewage sludge management and feedstock characteristics, including ash chemistry. Furthermore, it explores the fundamentals of gasification, focusing on optimizing parameters for sewage sludge by summarizing findings from studies on the effects of feedstock parameters, process designs and operating conditions on efficiency and output.

To explore this relationship, we conducted controlled laboratory column experiments simulating both aerobic and anaerobic recharge scenarios. By integrating monitoring of changes in hydraulic conductivity, quantification of bacterial growth, assessment of metabolic activity, and analysis of redox-sensitive indicators, we characterized bioclogging patterns and revealed the associated hydrochemical transformations. The results indicated distinct spatial distributions of bioclogging under varying redox recharge conditions. Aerobic recharge led to more severe bioclogging, with deeper penetration along flow paths compared to anaerobic conditions (<em>p</em> < 0.001 for differences in bacterial biomass). Conversely, the accumulation of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) exhibited an inverse trend, with concentrations under anaerobic recharge reaching 4.2 times those observed under aerobic conditions. Redox zonation analysis revealed that aerobic infiltration maintained weakly oxidizing conditions (ORP: 5.7 – 109.8 mV), whereas anaerobic recharge resulted in progressive transitions from initial weak oxidation (ORP: 1.3 – 103.9 mV) to reducing conditions (ORP: −29.4 – −10.2 mV). These redox gradients facilitated sequential biogeochemical reactions: the aerobic system displayed bacterial-mediated oxygen respiration followed by nitrate attenuation (denitrification) and sulfate reduction, whereas the anaerobic environment favored concurrent oxygen respiration and nitrate reduction (dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium, DNRA), followed by sulfate depletion.
