Application of the TG-MS system in studying sewage sludge pyrolysis and gasification

摘要

Application of the TG-MS system in studying sewage sludge pyrolysis and gasificationA method of monitoring sewage sludge pyrolysis and gasification was proposed. Samples of sludge were pyrolysed in Ar and gasified in CO2 in a thermobalance. The evolved gases were analysed on the calibrated MS, the samples of sludge and solid residues at different stages of the processes were subjected to elemental analysis. The identification and the quantitative characterisation of chemical reactions were performed, based on the DTG and MS profiles.
