Abstract

With the development of society and industry, the treatment and disposal of sludge have become a challenge for environmental protection. Co-pyrolysis is considered a sustainable technology to optimize the pyrolysis process and improve the quality and performance of pyrolysis products. Researchers have investigated the sludge co-pyrolysis process of sludge with other wastes, such as biomass, coal, and domestic waste, in laboratories. Co-pyrolysis technology has reduced pyrolysis energy consumption and improved the range and quality of pyrolysis product applications. In this paper, the various types of sludge and the factors influencing co-pyrolysis technology have been classified and summarized. Simultaneously, some reported studies have been conducted to investigate the co-pyrolysis characteristics of sludge with other wastes, such as biomass, coal, and domestic waste. In addition, the research on and development of sludge co-pyrolysis are expected to provide theoretical support for the development of sludge co-pyrolysis technology. However, the technological maturity of sludge pyrolysis and co-pyrolysis is far and needs further study to achieve industrial applications.
