Sewage sludge pyrolysis into biochar is an effective way to realize harmless and resourceful utilization. The study aimed investigate the relationship between temperatures (300 °C, 500 °C 700 °C) properties environmental risks associated with heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni Cr) discuss possible mechanisms of metal immobilization. results showed that pH value increased from 5.87 10.50 specific area grew 5.26 m2/g a maximum 15.23 temperature rose. Pyrolysis enhanced aromatization stability biochar, part oxygen-containing functional groups decomposed. Although enriched in pyrolysis, high promoted bioavailable fractions converted more stable ones, leaching rate was reduced by 5.5% on average. This may be related group decomposition, pore collapse wrapping, new crystalline phases formation. risk significantly (RI below 51.00), indicating relatively safe reliable performance biochar. can provide theoretical basis for management use soil.
