This review presents a comprehensive investigation of the co-pyrolysis of municipal sewage sludge (MSS) with various co-substrates, with a particular focus on the yield and characterization of biochar, bio-oil, and syngas.

Furthermore, this review presents an economic analysis of the co-pyrolysis process, demonstrating the substantial influence of co-substrate selection on the profitability of the operation. The integration of specific co-substrates not only enhances product yields but also improves the economic feasibility of the process, as evidenced by a favourable net present value (NPV).

This situation highlights the urgent need for sustainable waste management strategies focused on resource recovery. Concurrently, the rising use of adhesives, linked to improved living standards, has contributed to adhesive waste, complicating transportation and cleaning due to its high viscosity. To address this issue, incorporating biomass into adhesive waste can effectively lower its viscosity, facilitating the management of large amounts of waste. This study explores the viability of co-processing adhesive waste with pine sawdust through pyrolysis under various conditions like temperatures, heating rates, and mixing ratios, analyzing their co-pyrolysis characteristics. The results of this study indicated that temperature influences the composition of pyrolysis oil, favoring the formation of olefins and cycloolefins. Higher heating rates aid in adhesive waste depolymerization, increasing gas production while reducing pyrolysis oil output and enhancing olefin and cycloolefin proportions. Key compounds in the pyrolysis oil including C<sub>7</sub>H<sub>8</sub>, C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>10</sub>, and C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>12</sub>, exhibit diverse responses to temperature changes, with C<sub>7</sub>H<sub>8</sub> decreasing and C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>10</sub> and C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>12</sub>, initially increasing and then decreasing, suggesting that optimal temperature levels enhance product purity. Moreover, adjusting the pine sawdust content affects the activation energy for pyrolysis, impacting pyrolysis residue and gas generation.

This study combines proximate and ultimate analyses with TGA and in-situ FTIR to investigate the molecular structure of raw coal and its macerals from three coal-forming environments. The results indicate that the paleosedimentary environment significantly affects coal structure, especially the aliphatic and aromatic structures, as well as oxygenated functional groups. Deeper overlying water and more reducing conditions foster the formation of aliphatic structures, which are abundant in vitrinite-rich concentrates and raw coal, whereas inertinite-rich concentrates contain fewer. During pyrolysis, aromatic C-H condensation results in the formation of semi-coke and coke. Raw coal and macerals from deeper, reducing environments decompose more rapidly, accelerating aromatic condensation. Additionally, volatile gases such as H₂, CO, CO₂, CH₄, and tar are generated during pyrolysis. CO and CO₂ mainly originate from the cracking of oxygenated functional groups. Xinjiang raw coal(T1-R(V)), formed under deep overlying water, exhibits intense decomposition due to the high content of oxygenated functional groups in aliphatic side chains. Xiwan coal(T3), from a wet forest swamp environment, has numerous oxygenated groups, leading to higher decomposition rates in raw coal and inertinite-rich concentrates. Aliphatic cracking releases hydrocarbon gases and tar, with faster decomposition occurring in deeper, reducing environments. The thermal decomposition rates of vitrinite-rich concentrates show minimal variation.
