Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial solid waste resource utilization technology, and specifically relates to an environmentally friendly sludge solidification stabilizer and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Silt contains high levels of water and organic matter, posing a significant risk of heavy metal leaching. During river dredging, large quantities of silt are generated. Using traditional cement and quicklime as solidifying agents results in slow water content reduction and low strength after solidification. Furthermore, the production of cement and quicklime requires calcination, consuming substantial energy and releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide, hindering the achievement of carbon emission targets. The fine particles and high water and organic matter content of silt necessitate high dosages of cement and quicklime for solidification, leading to high stabilization costs. Additionally, the low strength of cement- and quicklime-solidified silt, coupled with the adverse effects of silt storage on surrounding water bodies and soil, poses significant environmental risks and land pressure. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a low-cost, environmentally friendly silt solidification and stabilizing agent. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an environmentally friendly sludge solidification stabilizer and its preparation method, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems, has low solidification cost, saves resources and has good effect.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an environmentally friendly sludge solidification stabilizer and its preparation method, comprising the following components by weight: Modified aggregate 10-25 parts; binder 60-70 parts; water-absorbing material 5-30 parts; The modified aggregate is composed of silica fume and steel slag particles mixed in a mass ratio of (0.1~0.5):(10~15); the binder is composed of slag powder, fly ash and bentonite; the water-absorbing material is composed of hemihydrate phosphogypsum, quicklime and red mud.

[0005] A further feature of the present invention is that the steel slag particles in the modified aggregate have a diameter of 2-8 mm, and the mixing and homogenization time of silica fume and steel slag particles is 5 min.

[0006] A further feature of the present invention is that the binder is composed of slag powder, fly ash and bentonite mixed in a mass ratio of 5:3:2, and the mixing and homogenization time is 5 minutes.

[0007] A further feature of the present invention is that the absorbent material is made by mixing and grinding hemihydrate phosphogypsum, quicklime, and red mud in a mass ratio of 6:3:1 for 10 minutes, resulting in a specific surface area exceeding 400 m². 2 / kg.

[0008] A further provision of the present invention is that the modified aggregate, binder, and water-absorbing material are mixed and stirred for 10 minutes. A further provision of the present invention is that the amount of the curing stabilizer is 15-20% of the mass of the sludge.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0010] This invention provides an environmentally friendly sludge solidification stabilizer and its preparation method. The solidification stabilizer is prepared from industrial solid waste hemihydrate phosphogypsum, red mud, slag powder, and fly ash to replace traditional solidification agents such as cement and quicklime. By using a waste-to-waste approach to treat sludge, the solidification cost can be effectively reduced, the consumption of natural resources such as cement and lime can be reduced, and carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced.

[0011] This invention provides an environmentally friendly sludge solidification stabilizer and its preparation method. The modified aggregate, with steel slag particles of 2-8 mm in diameter, serves as a high-strength aggregate. Adding it to sludge significantly improves the particle size distribution and increases its fluidity. Increased sludge fluidity allows the solidification stabilizer to be evenly distributed on the surface of the sludge particles during mixing. After the binder hydrates, the resulting hydration products can fully contact the sludge particles, increasing the coating and filling effects of the hydrated products (ettringite and calcium silicate) on the sludge particles, thereby improving the strength of the solidified sludge.

[0012] This invention provides an environmentally friendly sludge solidification stabilizer and its preparation method. The water-absorbing materials hemihydrate phosphogypsum, quicklime, and red mud can rapidly absorb free water in the sludge and react with it, thereby converting the free water in the sludge into crystal water and chemically bound water. The reduction of free water is a key guarantee for the solidified sludge to maintain its shape and strength. With the rapid reduction of free water in the sludge, the slag, fly ash, bentonite, and calcium hydroxide, sodium silicate, and calcium sulfate dihydrate in the binder undergo a hydration reaction to generate ettringite and hydrated calcium silicate. Needle-shaped ettringite penetrates and fills the pores between aggregates and particles, acting as a filler. The network of hydrated calcium silicate covers the surface of the ettringite, acting as a coating, increasing the density and strength of the solidified sludge.

[0013] This invention provides an environmentally friendly sludge solidification and stabilizer. When solidifying and stabilizing sludge, the 3-day moisture content of the solidified body decreases by 80%, and the compressive strength is not less than 3 MPa. After 14 days, the moisture content decreases by 90%, and the compressive strength can reach over 6 MPa. This meets the compressive strength requirements of municipal roadbed materials, realizing the resource utilization of solidified sludge in the field of roadbed materials, thus effectively solving the problem of difficult sludge resource utilization.

[0014] The present invention provides an environmentally friendly sludge solidification and stabilizer, which, under the combined action of water-absorbing materials and binders, forms a good adsorption and binding effect on heavy metals in sludge, improves the solidification and stabilization effect on heavy metals, and reduces the leaching concentration of common heavy metals such as lead, zinc and cadmium in sludge by more than 90%, meeting the requirements of the Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (GB8978).
