Abstract
Retraction of ‘The feasibility of char and bio-oil production from pyrolysis of pit latrine sludge’ by Tom Bond et al., Environ. Sci.: Water Res. Technol., 2017, DOI: 10.1039/c7ew00132k.
We, the named authors, hereby wholly retract this Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology article.
After publication we found a mistake in the energy balance calculations, which originated from an honest error made during preparation of the paper. In particular, Fig. 1 and 2 and associated parts of the results were affected. It also impacted the conclusion relating to net energy recovery at a range of sludge water content values.
The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience to readers.
Signed: Tom Bond, Queenie Tse, Clementine L. Chambon, Paul Fennell, Geoff D. Fowler and Michael R. Templeton, 1st September 2017.
