Abstract
⺠Significant self-heating (up to 90 °C) of dried sludges from wastewater treatment was reproducibly observed. ⺠Air significantly support the self-heating, while some water is an important cofactor. ⺠Direct or indirect heating in drying does not affect the self-heating behavior. ⺠Unsteady (start-up, shut down) drying operations may yield sludges that evolve into spontaneous combustion. ⺠Due to the specific industrial origin, some original chemistry is likely to occur.
