Turning sewage sludge into sludge-char (biochar from sewage sludge) and its application on soil can provide several benefits compared to direct sludge application, including removal of organic pollutants present in the sludge, potential for improvement of soil physical properties, carbon sequestration. This presentation provides overview on sewage sludge disposal methods and the effect of pyrolysis temperature on properties of sludge-char, and discusses the precautionary principle with regards to sludge-char application on soil with respect to organic contaminants.
