Utilization of sewage-sludge-derived hydrochars toward efficient cocombustion with different-rank coals : effects of subcritical water conversion and blending scenarios by Wang, Jing-Yuan, He, Chao, Wang, Ke, Yang, Yanhui

“…The results suggest that SHC-320 reduced the activation energy of the blends and altered the main combustion profiles. Meanwhile, blending of SHC-320 induced greater heat loss for higher-rank coals, whereas a higher portion of SHC-320 further improved the ignition reactivity of high-rank coal blends. …”
