Biochars were produced by slow co-pyrolysis of sewage sludge and straws (corn straw, rice straw, wheat straw, sesame straw) at different pyrolysis temperatures (300℃, 400℃, 500℃, 600℃), pyrolysis times (0.5h, 1h, 1.5h, 2h) and ratios (sludge/biomass 1:0, 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2). The four types of biochars were labelled SCBC (biochar derived from sludge and corn straw), SRBC (biochar derived from sludge and rice straw), SWBC (biochar derived from sludge and wheat straw), SSBC (biochar derived from sludge and sesame biomass), respectively. The effect of different pyrolysis temperatures, times, and ratios on pH, yields, ash contents, pore characteristics, and adsorption capacity was studied. Based on the adsorption properties, the optimum production process of biochar was determined. The results showed that when the pyrolysis temperature was 500℃, the pyrolysis time was 2h, the ratio of sludge to corn straw and sesame straw was 1:1, the ratio of sludge to rice straw and wheat straw was 1:2, the adsorption performance of biochar was the best. Under the optimum preparation conditions, the adsorption properties of four kinds of biochars followed the order:SWBC > SRBC > SCBC > SSBC. This study provides technical support for the utilization of sewage sludge and straws.
