Аннотация:<jats:p>Improving the thermal utilisation of organic production waste to generate energy is integral to solving one of the most pressing issues of our time: transitioning away from fossil fuels. In this context, the thermal utilisation of organic waste, particularly sewage sludge (SS) and lignin-containing by-products from the biochemical industry, is of considerable scientific and practical interest. This study provides a thorough analysis of the co-combustion processes involving SS, lignin-based pellets and briquettes, and their mixtures with various component ratios. The aim of the work is to evaluate the fuel properties, thermokinetic characteristics, and potential for synergistic interactions during joint fuel combustion, considering the mechanical impact on lignin during granulation. The aim is to optimise conditions for the thermal utilisation of industrial waste. The study employed standard analytical methods: the thermophysical properties of the fuels were determined; morphological analysis of the particle surface was conducted using scanning electron microscopy; and X-ray fluorescence analysis was performed to identify the inorganic oxide phase. It has been established that lignin briquettes have the highest lower heating value, exceeding that of lignin pellets and sewage sludge by 7% and 27%, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in an oxidising atmosphere (air, heating rate of 10 °C/min) made it possible to determine the following key combustion parameters: the ignition temperature of the coke residue (Ti); the temperature at which oxidation is complete (Tb); the maximum combustion rate (Rmax); and the combustion efficiency index (Q). The ignition temperature of the coke residue was 262.1 °C for SS, 291.8 °C for lignin pellets, and 290.0 °C for lignin briquettes. Analysis of co-combustion revealed non-linear behaviour in the thermograms, indicating synergistic effects, which are manifested by a decrease in the maximum combustion rate compared to the additive prediction, particularly in mixtures with a moderate lignin content (25–50%). It was established that the main synergistic interactions between the mixture components occurred during moisture evaporation and the combustion of coke residue. These results are valuable for designing and operating power plants that focus on co-combusting industrial organic waste, and they contribute to the development of thermal utilisation technologies within closed production cycles.</jats:p>
