Fast pyrolysis of sewage sludge was carried out under different reaction conditions, and its effects on bio-oil characteristics were studied. The effect of metal oxide catalysts on the removal of chlorine in the bio-oil was also investigated for four types of catalysts. The optimal pyrolysis temperature for bio-oil production was found to be 450°C, while much smaller and larger feed sizes adversely influenced production. Higher flow and feeding rates were more effective but did not greatly affect bio-oil yields. The use of the product gas as the fluidizing medium gave an increased bio-oil yield. Metal oxide catalysts (CaO and La₂O₃) contributed to a slight decrease in bio-oil yield and an increase in water content but were significantly effective in removal of chlorine from the bio-oil. The fixed catalyst bed system exhibited a higher removal rate than when metal oxide-supported alumina was used as the fluidized bed material.
