Comparative study by microwave pyrolysis and conventional pyrolysis of pharmaceutical sludge: Resourceful disposal and antibiotic adsorption

Compared with conventional pyrolysis, microwave pyrolysis has superior heat transfer performance and promotes the decomposition of organic matter. The paper focuses on the harmless treatment and resource utilization of pharmaceutical sludge (PS) by microwave heating and conventional heating methods. The experimental results showed that the conventional pyrolysis gas is dominated by CO
