(free)• Thermal treatment of biosolids is becoming more appealing due to stricter environmental regulations on emerging contaminants.
• However, biochar derived from pyrolysis of biosolids has limitations due to high heavy metal concentration, low carbon content, and
low surface area.
• Aim of this study is to co-pyrolyse biosolids with alum sludge (AS), wheat straw (WS), and canola straw (CS) to improve biochar physiochemical properties.
