Evaluation of the Thermal and Kinetic Behavior of the SS Obtained from the Combined Treatment of Liquid Leachate with Domestic Sewage in UASB Reactor

Abstract

The present study reports the results obtained from Sewage Sludge SS for the obtainment of bio-oil through the pyrolysis process. The research aimed to evaluate the thermal and kinetic behavior of the bio-solid. In this work studies were made on physicochemical, elemental analysis (CHNO). Thermogravimetry (TG) with heating rate of 10o C min-1 over two atmospheres (synthetic air and N2), Thermodynamics (ΔH, ΔS e ΔG), kinetic and spectroscopic. The thermalgravimetric study stated a thermal stability at 30°C. The kinetic calculations were made aiming to observe parameters such as: Activation energy (Ae), frequency factor (s-1), standard deviation (sd) and linear coefficient (r), which were calculated by Thermogravimetry by the methods of Coats-Redfern (CR); Madhusudanan (MD); Van Krevelen (VK); Horowitz-Metzger (HM). In the spectrometry in the infrared (IR) region it was observed bands referring to the presence of water, organic material and silicon oxides in the SS samples analyzed.
