Abstract:		"This paper discusses H(2)S, NH(3) and VOCs removal by sewage-sludge-derived materials with outstanding chemical and textural properties. These materials were obtained from different precursors using different chemical and thermal treatments. Results show that the H(2)S removal process entailed a catalytic conversion of H(2)S to S or SO(4) (2-) species. On the other hand, adsorption is the main mechanism governing the performance of sludge-based materials for NH(3) and VOCs. Retention capacities (x/M values) obtained for some of the sludge-based adsorbents/catalysts are similar to those obtained with commercial activated carbons selected as reference materials"
