Data processing to support explication about effect of mineral constituents on temperature-dependent structural characterization of carbon fractions in sewage sludge-derived biochar.

ABSTRACT: This dataset is the supplementary data for the summited research article Li et al., 2017 [1] and provides detailed data profiles to support the explication about mineral constituents' effect on temperature-dependent structural characterization of carbon fractions in sewage sludge-derived biochar. The elemental compositions of major inorganics in the sewage sludge were detected by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF, S2-Ranger, Bruker).The images from scanning electron microscope (SEM) were compared between unwashed and acid-washed samples, and revealed the effect of acid washing on the surface morphology and porosity of sewage sludge and the biochar. Peak deconvolution was conducted for the (002) peak of X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns from the acid-washed samples, which provided informa
