Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing soil materials by comprehensive utilization of municipal sludge, fly ash, phosphogypsum and other solid wastes, belonging to the field of recycling of bulk solid wastes and industrial solid wastes, namely, the field of solid waste resource utilization. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of industrialization, the accumulation of industrial by-products such as phosphogypsum and sludge has become an environmental problem that needs to be solved urgently. As a by-product of phosphoric acid production, phosphogypsum is mainly composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, accompanied by a certain amount of soluble fluoride and heavy metals. If these harmful substances are not effectively treated, they may pose a long-term pollution risk to soil and water bodies. On the other hand, sludge, as a solid waste in the wastewater treatment process, is rich in organic matter and nutrients, but its heavy metal content also poses a threat to the environment. Fly ash, as a by-product of coal-fired power plants, contains rich compounds such as silicates and aluminates, has good activity and adsorption capacity, and has been widely used in environmental governance and material modification in recent years. How to use the unique characteristics of fly ash to effectively reduce the mobility of harmful substances in sludge and phosphogypsum has become a hot research issue. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing soil materials by aerobic co-fermentation of Ca-Si-C materials with phosphogypsum and sludge, wherein the method uses Ca-Si-C materials, phosphogypsum and municipal sludge as fermentation matrices, performs aerobic composting fermentation to prepare soil materials, and adds wheat straw powder to the fermentation matrix to adjust the C / N ratio; the Ca-Si-C material is obtained by mixing 50%-70% of dry municipal sludge with 30%-50% of fly ash, and then firing at 500-700°C; the present invention forms a Ca-Si-C material with excellent chemical stability by co-calcining sludge and fly ash at an appropriate temperature. On this basis, the material is aerobically co-fermented with phosphogypsum and municipal sludge to finally obtain an environmentally friendly soil material with a stable structure.

[0004] The present invention utilizes the rich silicate and aluminate components in fly ash to form Ca-Si-C materials through high-temperature calcination. The Ca-Si-C materials can play a positive role in the nutrient conversion in soil materials, especially through the following aspects: Calcium and magnesium nutrient supply: The calcium and magnesium elements in the Ca-Si-C materials can not only fix pollutants, but also provide important nutrients for soil materials. These elements are essential for plant growth, especially calcium, which can promote root development and enhance plant resistance. At the same time, magnesium, as a core element of chlorophyll, also plays a key role in plant photosynthesis. Alkaline environment regulation: The alkalinity of the Ca-Si-C material can increase the pH value of the soil, especially under acidic soil conditions. This regulation can improve the soil structure, promote microbial activity, and then enhance the mineralization and conversion efficiency of nutrients, and improve soil fertility. The role of silicon: The silicon element can enhance the disease resistance of plants and improve the growth and development of plants. Especially under adverse conditions, it can improve the resistance of plants to drought, salinity and pests. Additionally, silicon helps stabilize other nutrients in the soil, increasing their availability.

[0005] In addition, Ca-Si-C materials can react with heavy metals in sludge to form hydroxides or carbonates, which are fixed in Ca-Si-C materials due to their low solubility, thus achieving the effect of solidifying and stabilizing heavy metals. In addition, phosphogypsum also contains harmful substances such as soluble fluorine. Through the synergistic reaction with Ca-Si-C materials, the calcium and magnesium in the material can react with the soluble fluorine in phosphogypsum to form insoluble calcium fluoride (CaF 2 ) and other similar fluorides. These substances usually have low solubility and can be fixed in the pore structure of the material, effectively reducing the release of fluorine, thereby greatly reducing the secondary pollution to the environment caused by the leaching of harmful substances such as soluble fluorine.

[0006] The preparation method of the soil material of the present invention is as follows: 1. Pretreatment: Dry the municipal sludge to reduce moisture, screen and remove large particles to obtain dry municipal sludge. Grind and screen the dry municipal sludge and fly ash to 125-200µm, and grind and screen the phosphogypsum; 2. Composition analysis: Chemical analysis of phosphogypsum and municipal sludge to understand its pH value, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) content, as well as the content of pollutants such as heavy metals; 3. Preparation of Ca-Si-C material: Mix 50%-70% of dry municipal sludge and 30%-50% of fly ash, add water and mix well, put it in a muffle furnace and heat it to 500-700℃ at a heating rate of 10℃ / min for 30-60min to obtain Ca-Si-C material; 4. Adjust pH and C / N ratio: If the pH value is too low or too high, it needs to be adjusted by adding substances such as lime or sulfuric acid; adding wheat straw powder increases the C / N ratio to 20-30:1; 5. Mix 10%-50% of phosphogypsum and 50%-90% of municipal sludge (water content of 60-80%), and then add Ca-Si-C material of 10%-20% of the total mass of phosphogypsum and municipal sludge, and mix them evenly in a mixer; 6. Fermentation: The mixed fermentation substrate is piled up to ensure good ventilation for the microorganisms to breathe. The composting time is 20-30 days. The moisture content of the fermentation substrate is controlled at 30%-60%. During this period, good fermentation conditions are maintained by conventional means such as water replenishment, turning, and aeration. The fermentation conditions and operation methods of aerobic composting are consistent with conventional composting fermentation methods. In the present invention, the temperature of the pile should be maintained above 70°C to promote microbial activity and eliminate pathogens. After entering the mature stage, as the microbial activity slows down, the temperature of the pile gradually decreases, and the organic matter further decomposes to form stable humus.

[0007] 7. Monitoring: Regularly monitor the temperature, humidity and pH value of the pile and make adjustments when necessary; 8. Stability test: The stability of soil materials is tested through heavy metal content determination, organic matter content determination, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content determination and fertilizer efficiency test.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The municipal sludge in the method of the present invention is rich in organic matter and various nutrients required for plant growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc. The organic matter in the sludge can be converted into a form beneficial to plants through the aerobic composting process, while reducing potential harmful substances, making it a safe and effective ecological matrix fertilizer and plant nutrient source; the main component of phosphogypsum is calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O), which can provide crops with important nutrients such as calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P); 2. The present invention combines municipal sludge, fly ash and phosphogypsum, and adopts a co-calcination and fermentation process, which not only effectively treats harmful components in industrial waste, but also utilizes the unique properties of fly ash to improve the environmental stability and resource utilization potential of the final material. This soil material not only reduces environmental pollution, but also provides a new technical path for the resource utilization of solid waste; it also improves the environmental friendliness and safety of the overall material; The rich silicate and aluminate components in fly ash are used to form Ca-Si-C materials through high-temperature calcination. This process not only gives the material good chemical stability, but also fixes the soluble fluorides and heavy metals in the sludge and phosphogypsum into insoluble compounds through physical and chemical effects during the subsequent fermentation process, significantly reducing the mobility and environmental risks of these harmful substances. This dual treatment mechanism ensures the safety of the final product, allowing it to remain stable for a long time when used in soil improvement and ecological restoration, avoiding secondary pollution to the environment. The Ca-Si-C material has a fixation rate of 85%-90% for soluble fluorine and 90%-95% for heavy metals, and the heavy metal leaching rate is less than the standard value. Therefore, the soil material of the present invention is environmentally friendly and safe. While reducing environmental pollution, the present invention also provides a new technical path for the resource utilization of solid waste. Compared with traditional phosphogypsum and sludge treatment methods, the present invention not only deals with the environmental risks of industrial waste, but also realizes its high-value application in agriculture and ecological restoration.
