Low-temperature co-pyrolysis behaviours and kinetics of oily sludge: effect of agricultural biomass.

abstract：:Hospital wastewater contains a great variety of pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs), mainly due to excretion by patients. These PhCs, called emerging pollutants, are not fully eliminated in treatment plants, and are consequently detected in various environmental matrices, contributing to bacterial resistance and adverse e...
