Abstract:

Bentonite,kaolin,silica fume and red mud were used as silicon-aluminum additives to stabilize heavy metals in municipal solid waste incineration(MSWI) fly ash(FA) by mechanochemical method.The experiment results indicated that the composition of the immobilized products was related to the Si/Al ratio of the additives.There were okenite,calcite and calcium oxide in immobilized products derived by adding bentonite.The main phases of immobilized products were hydrocalumite and calcite,when kaolin or red mud was used as additive.For silica fume,calcite and a few of calsil were found in immobilized products.The agglomeration would happen after mechanochemical process,which leading to increasing of the pore diameter.The results showed that the leaching of Pb and Zn was inhibited after mechanochemical process.Furthermore,the oxidable form and residual form of Pb and Zn in FA was increased after mechanochemical reaction with silicon-aluminum additives.By comprehensive comparison,the order of immobilization effect was red mud>kaolin≈silica fume>bentonite.The encapsulation and agglomeration of particles,newly formed hydrocalumite and calsil,the elution of soluble salt were major cause of the solidification/stabilization of heavy metals in MSWI fly ash by mechanochemical method with external silicon-aluminum additives.
