The invention provides a sludge slurry gasification method and device. The device comprises an atomization range and a gasification region. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out crushing treatment on dewatered sludge by using ultrasonic, mixing with biomass and additives to prepare sludge slurry, atomizing the sludge slurry into small-particle liquid drops by using the device, and gasifying to obtain combustible gas. The atomized small-particle liquid drops move helically in the device along with the gas flow and are quickly gasified; and moisture in the liquid drops can generate a crushing action on solid particles in the sludge slurry in the heating-induced evaporation precipitation process, thereby further reducing the particle size, and enhancing the thermal mass transfer rate and gasification efficiency. The method solves the problems of hardening, wall adhesion and the like caused by wet sludge direct gasification, widens the applicability of the sludge gasification technique, and implements cyclic harmless and reduction treatment on the sludge.
