From Sewage to Coal: New insights in Char Production: Performance evaluation with a combined Process Simulation and ex-ante Life Cycle Assessment

The aim of this study was to identify the most sustainable way to produce char from sewage sludge that later can be used as a coal substitute for the steel industry. For this purpose, a literature review was conducted on the latest technological developments for the production of char, which were subsequently simulated in Aspen Plus to obtain...
