First attempt on pyrolysis/combustion kinetics of densified sludge–camphor pellet.
Ea value for the sludge–camphor pellet was lower than the single pellet (SP, CP).
Enhanced thermal degradation takes place in air as oxygen acceleration effect.
Ea is highly depended on conversion indicating a complex multi-step mechanism.
Some synergistic effects happen between sludge and camphor during pyrolysis.
