The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of pyrolysis temperature on the properties of biochars fabricated by sewage sludge. Increasing pyrolysis temperature from 300 to 900°С led to an increase of biochar pH between 8.4–11.8, ash content 60–75% as well as specific surface area 68–161 m2 g–1. At the same time, there were reduced H, O, C, S, N contents, the H/C and O/C ratios. An increase in pyrolysis temperature enhanced the content of metals in biochars and reduced their bioavailability. XRD analysis confirmed a higher degree of metal-containing phases of formation in biochar with increasing pyrolysis temperature.
