Abstract Transition metal carbides have been successfully used as substitute materials for conventional noble metal catalyst in several important industrial reactions due to their interesting physicochemical properties. Surface structure, chemical composition and metal-support interactions, as well as processing conditions, are of utmost importance in the use of such materials in catalysis. The present study aimed to synthesize and evaluate pure molybdenum carbide with and without support, and bimetallic Mo-Ni carbide over a carbon active support derived from sewage sludge pyrolysis. The support was chemically (KOH) and physically (thermal treatment) activated before use. TG/DTG, XRD, XRF, SEM, BET and particle size evaluation were performed, together with adsorption/desorption isotherms. Results indicated that the applied synthesis method was adequate for the obtainment of pure materials. The increase in surface area of the support was significant, from 13 to 141 m².g-1 after the thermal and chemical treatment; also, supporting Mo2C over carbon provided an increase from 45 to 73 m².g-1 in surface area, which indicated its potential as a catalytic material as well as the effectiveness of the applied methodology.

The leaching tests of heavy metals in industrial sewage sludge were carried out under different pH of extractant by the solid waste extraction procedure for leaching toxicity (GB5086.2-1997) of China on the base of the contents and fractions of Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr, Mn and Ni elements. The results showed that the sludge was with higher levels of Mn and Zn, followed by Cu and Ni, while the higher toxicity of Pb and Cr was lower. The fractions of different elements in the sewage sludge had very different forms. The potential migration and biological toxicity were a concern for the active forms of Zn, Mn, Ni, Cr because their active proportions were more than 50%. The pH of extraction solutions had an important impact on the leaching of heavy metals in sewage sludge. The largest concentrations of Zn, Mn, Ni, Cu were appeared when the pH of extractant was about 7, but that of Fe had a greater fluctuation at the same pH. The concentrations of heavy metals had very different at different pH values, which may be related with the process of adsorption/desorption, complexation/dissociation, the dissolution/precipitation/co-precipitation and other chemical reactions in the extractant process.
