Abstract:
This study proposes a new evaluation method based on expert scoring and data normalization to optimize operational conditions of sludge pyrolysis and assess the comprehensive benefits of the adsorption process in coking wastewater treatment. Pyrolysis temperature, holding time and heating rate were considered as the experimental parameters in sludge pyrolysis. They were optimized by the proposed method, considering raw material cost, net energy consumption, carbon emission and adsorption capacity of sludge-derived bio-char (SB). Two operational modes (cyclic centralized and traditional distributed) were compared to identify a better solution for coking wastewater treatment. The results showed that the optimized operational conditions of coking sludge pyrolysis were that temperature of 550 °C, holding time of 60 min and heating rate of 20 °C/min, using the proposed method. Cyclic centralized mode has been demonstrated as the better mode for wastewater treatment by the proposed method, due to the higher comprehensive score of -0.296. It is a promising technology for sustainable wastewater treatment in terms of sludge recycling, energy saving and carbon emission reduction.
