A comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate the fuel properties of the char produced from pyrolysis of municipal sludge (MS) and industrial sludge (IS) at different pyrolysis temperatures (500-700 °C). A detailed characterisation of the char was performed to investigate the impact of the decompo...
