Sewage sludge-derived biochars (SSBCs) were obtained at temperatures of 300, 500, and 700 °C to investigate the potentially toxic elements (PTEs) behaviors and assess the environmental acceptability for the possible application in the environment. Results indicated that PTEs exhibited diversely in the distribution of chemical speciation, while all elements tended to be immobilized in biochar matrix and the total amount elevated during the pyrolysis. The risk assessment of biochars implied a low degree of environmental risk for the utilization of SSBCs prepared at high temperatures. In addition, higher pyrolysis temperature alleviated the inhibition on the early seedling growth of Triticum aestivum L., with root elongation more sensitive to the biochar addition. PTEs, especially Cr, contributed much to the phytotoxicity of biochars as revealed by the principle component analysis (PCA) and leaner correlation analysis. Findings from this work illustrated that SSBCs prepared at higher temperatures might be more conductive to a wide range of applications with acceptable environmental risk.
