Combustion dynamic characteristics of biodried products derived from sewage sludge biodrying
Relying on endogenous bio-heat driving water removal, biodrying has garnered wide attention for its energy efficiency and environmental friendliness, and the biodried product (BP) is recognized as a carbon–neutral and renewable fuel, which offers a sustainable strategy for sewage sludge management. However, the combustion behaviors of BP remain inadequately characterized. This study aimed to evaluate the combustion characteristics of BP through kinetic analysis, with special focus on the synergistic effects of bulking agent (corncob) and biodegradation. The results indicated that bulking agent enhanced volatile emissions with low activation energy (Ea). Biodegradation promoted lignocellulose decomposition, increased fixed carbon formation, and broadened the combustion temperature range (523.9–781.0 K). Compared to raw materials (the mixtures of sludge and corncob), BP exhibited higher combustion indices and calorific value (13.15 MJ/kg wet basis). Kinetic analysis indicated that BP combustion followed the Order of reaction model (n = 1.5), with a reduced average Ea value (177.83 kJ/mol). Biodegradation also decreased the emissions of SO2, NO, and unsaturated carbon compounds during BP combustion. Overall, the synergistic effects of bulking agent and biodegradation significantly improved the combustion performance of sludge-derived BP, highlighting their potential as clean and renewable refuse-derived fuels for energy recovery.
