Original Abstract

The main aim of this review is to summarize the knowledge on disposal of sewage sludge (SS), thermal treatment of SS, especially pyrolysis, the characterization of produced sludge-derived biochar and to summarize the requirements for certification of SS biochar in agricultural application. Pyrolysis represents an eco-friendly treatment of SS giving eco-friendly products, particularly biochar, and therefore it may represent a solution in terms of circular economy, carbon sequestration, contaminant immobilization, greenhouse gas reduction, soil fertilization and improvement of water retention.
