This research aims to look into a sustainable technique for the treatment, reuse and disposal of domestic sewage sludge (DSS). The purpose of the study was to examine the operating factors that influence the calorific value of the produced biochar from the pyrolysis of DSS. Based on the analysis of the full factorial design, the impacts of the pyrolysis conditions, specifically: temperature, heating rate, and isothermal time on the calorific value of biochar were evaluated. When the pyrolysis temperature was raised from 300 to 500 oC, the calorific value of biochar was decreased by 34%. A 14% decrease in the calorific content of the biochar was also noticed when the heating rate was increased from 5 to 35 oC/min. When the isothermal time was increased from 45 to 120 minutes, the calorific value of the biochar remained essentially unchanged. No interaction effects among process variables were found using the factorial design methodology. A first-order regression model was developed to predict the calorific value of biochar using the magnitude of the effects of the process factors and their interactions. The model predictions agreed very well with the obtained experimental results.

This study evaluated the process of in-site sorting of the generated solid waste (SW) in some educational institutions in Ma'an city, Jordan. The study included eight schools and one University. The students and employees of seven schools, as well as the students and employees of the University, had received the awareness campaigns concerning the importance and benefits of in-site sorting of SW. As a control, one school student and employee who had not received awareness campaigns were involved. The institutions were provided with four bins at each collection site (glass and plastic, paper and cardboard, metals, and bread). The content of bins in each institution was collected and sorted manually to evaluate the efficiency of the conducted awareness campaigns on onsite sorting behavior. The mass ratios of many SW components in their designated bins in the reference school (control) were higher than the average ratios in the assigned bins for the same component in all schools. As for the University, the results of the manual sorting showed that all bins included a mix of SW in different ratios; moreover, the proportions of glass and plastic, and metals were lower than the proportions of other components. On the basis of the above mentioned results, it can be concluded that the awareness campaigns did not achieve the stated goals; subsequently, the in-site sorting failed in the schools and the University. Thus, different awareness campaigns should be assessed to identify the best approach positively affect the SW sorting and disposal habits of people.
