With the rapid economic development and the increase in population in the whole world, the amount of municipal sewage (MS) is increasing and lead to a rapid increasing in amount of municipal sewage sludge (MSS). Combustion of municipal sewage sludge may be a viable solution for its disposal in some cases and so is its co-combustion with coal. Whereas significant information is available on NOx and N2O emissions characteristics of sludge and coal individually, not much has been reported on sludge/coal blends. In the present paper, investigations in NOx and N2O emission characteristics from circulation fluidized bed combustion of blends of municipal sewage sludge and coal were conducted in a 0.2MWth circulating fluidized bed test facility with cross section of 0.23×0.23m2 and height of 5.9m. Coal sample selected was a kind of lignite, while a kind of paper mill sludge was used as sludge sample. The influences of sludge/coal mixing rate, excess air ratio and second air ratio on NOx and N2O emission characteristics have been studied. Test results show that co-combustion of sewage sludge and coal is feasible. With the increasing in proportion of sludge of the sludge/coal blends, the temperatures in dense bed and freeboard decrease rapidly, and the emissions of NOx decrease while the emission of N2O increases obviously. With the increasing in excess air ratio, the emission concentrations of NOx and N2O increase. While with the increasing in secondary air ratio, the emission concentrations of NOx and N2O decrease.

This research focuses on the preparation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from Pennisetum hydridum fertilized by municipal sewage sludge (MSS) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis in different acid concentrations (40–65%), temperature (room temperature ∼55°C), and reaction time (50–120 min). The results showed that the obtained CNC possessed stable dispersion in water. The length of CNCs reached 272.5 nm under the condition of room temperature (RT), 65% acid concentration, and 120 min reaction time, and the diameter was within 10 nm. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) showed that the CNC still kept the cellulose type I structure. The crystallinity of CNCs increased to the maximum by 18.34% compared with that of delignified Pennisetum hydridum fibers. Thermogravimetry (TG) illustrated the thermal stability of CNCs was lower than that of delignified Pennisetum hydridum fibers due to the introduction of sulfate groups in the cellulose. This study demonstrated that Pennisetum hydridum fertilized by MSS might be a suitable raw material for CNCs. This implies meaningful resource utilization of MSS and Pennisetum hydridum.
