AbstractBiological sludge from wastewater treatment is a by‐product from the pulp and paper industry, for which several management approaches are being researched to develop added‐value applications and to decrease the disposal costs. This work studied biological sludge pyrolysis to produce biochar for further use as soil amendment. The pyrolysis was conducted in a bench‐scale fixed‐bed reactor using distinct operating conditions, namely heating rate between 2 °C min−1 and 30 °C min−1 and peak temperature between 300 °C and 600 °C. The results demonstrated that biochar yield was between 0.40 and 0.73 kg kg–1 dry sludge. A trend for biochar yield to decrease with increasing peak temperature and heating rate was observed. The carbon content of biochar was between 42.8 and 47.0 wt%. The biochar pH was between 6.9 and 11.2. The effect of the biochar produced by pyrolysis as a soil corrective was evaluated in this work. Samples of biochar produced at 450 °C and 10 °C min−1 were incubated in a selected soil and its influence on soil properties and plant growth was evaluated. It was observed that the biochar portion 2.5%, 5%, and 10% promoted an increase in soil pH and an increase in water retention. The biochar portion 2.5% and 5% promoted a higher growth of Lepidium sativum plants. The results demonstrated the potential of the pyrolysis of biological sludge from the pulp and paper industry to produce biochar to be further used as a soil amendment. This strategy is of major importance in this industrial sector, thus contributing to the European Union goals on circular economy and industrial sustainability. © 2021 Society of Industrial Chemistry and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Accurate estimation of the energy need and consumption is considered as one of the most important basis of the economy worldwide. It is also of high importance to mitigate the adverse effects of the release of CO 2 (e.g., climate change) from conventional energy sources by using renewable energies, as recommended by European commission. Thus, in this study a forecast regarding the residential energy consumption of the household sector in countries belonging to the Euro area was executed. To proceed with this prediction, time related data from 1990 till 2015 along with Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model were applied. ARIMA model was considered due to possessing the ability of providing accurate results while being able to receive stationary and non-stationary data. The obtained results from the analysis clarified that ARIMA (0,1,1) model is the most accurate model to undertake such prediction as the amount of RMSE achieved was 0.097. This comparison was accomplished by considering the ARIMA (0,1,0) and ARIMA (1,1,2) models as their amounts regarding RMSE were respectively 0.1068149 and 0.0975575. The results indicate that the amount of the energy predicted to be consumed in household sector in EU area is estimated to be 186244 toe (tonne of oil equivalent) which shows a drop in the energy consumption in Euro area probably due to the increase in the energy efficiency especially in recent years.
