[0081] Example 7

[0082] In this example, a method for preparing high-strength foam ceramics based on high-calcium and low-silicon municipal solid waste incineration fly ash includes the following steps:

[0083] (1) First, pre-treat the municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash from Guangdong. Through the water washing process, reduce its chloride ion content. In the experiment, weigh 100 g of dry MSWI fly ash and add 250 ml of deionized water into a 500 ml beaker (liquid-solid ratio is 2.5:1), add a magnetic rotor, and stir magnetically for 30 min. Use a "qualitative filter paper + sintered filter funnel + vacuum pump" for solid-liquid separation, then add deionized water for suction filtration until the filtrate is clear. Then, conduct drying and weighing (dry at 105 °C for 12 h), and use EDX to detect the content of each element in the fly ash before and after water washing to verify the removal effect of chloride ions (ideal effect: the chloride ion content in the fly ash after water washing is lower than 0.1%).

[0084] (2) Then, mix the water-washed MSWI fly ash from Guangdong, kaolin, and quartz in a ratio of 2:2:1, and add an appropriate amount of foaming agent silicon carbide to form a mixture. In the mixture, the content of SiO2 is 52.23 wt%, the content of Al2O3 is 21.42 wt%, the content of CaO is 13.19 wt%, the content of SO3 is 5.05 wt%, the content of Fe2O3 is 3.28 wt%, the content of MgO is 2.34 wt%, the content of K2O is 0.71 wt%, the content of TiO2 is 0.68 wt%, the content of P2O5 is 0.39 wt%, the content of SiC is 0.2 wt%, the content of MnO is 0.08 wt%, and the balance is impurities, totaling 100%; ball mill in a high-speed grinder for 8 h (ball-to-material-to-water ratio is 2:1:0.8). After ball milling, dry at 105 °C for 12 h and pass through a 100-mesh sieve.

[0085] (3) Finally, weigh the required amount of the mixed material for tabletting (from 10 Mpa until the pressure no longer decreases), place it on a corundum backing plate, and sinter in an electric resistance furnace according to the established firing system (heat from room temperature to 1230 °C, heating rate is 4 °C / min, hold for 60 min, and then cool down) to obtain a foam ceramic product.

Experimentally weigh 100 g of dry waste incineration fly ash and 250 ml of deionized water and add them to a 500 ml beaker (liquid-solid ratio of 2.5:1). Add a magnetic rotor and stir magnetically for 30 min. Use a "qualitative filter paper + sintered filter device + vacuum pump" for solid-liquid separation, then add deionized water for suction filtration until the filtrate is clear, and then dry and weigh (dry at 105 °C for 12 h). Use EDX to detect the content of each element in the fly ash before and after water washing to verify the removal effect of chloride ions (ideal effect: the chloride ion content in the fly ash after water washing is less than 0.1%).

[0102] (2) Then mix the washed Guangxi fly ash, kaolin, and waste glass powder in a ratio of 2:2:1, and add an appropriate amount of foaming agent silicon carbide to form a mixture. In the mixture, the content of SiO2 is 47.47 wt%, the content of Al2O3 is 19.43 wt%, the content of CaO is 17.57 wt%, the content of SO3 is 5.48 wt%, the content of MgO is 3.40 wt%, the content of Fe2O3 is 1.95 wt%, the content of Na2O is 1.07 wt%, the content of SiC is 1 wt%, the content of K2O is 0.56 wt%, the content of TiO2 is 0.55 wt%, the content of P2O5 is 0.50 wt%, the content of MnO is 0.08 wt%, and the balance is impurities, totaling 100%; ball mill in a high-speed grinder for 8 h (the ratio of balls to materials to water is 2:1:0.8). After ball milling is completed, dry at 105 °C for 12 h and pass through a 100-mesh sieve.

[0103] (3) Finally, weigh the required amount of the mixed material for tabletting (from 10 Mpa until the pressure no longer decreases), put it into a corundum crucible, and sinter it in an electric resistance furnace according to the established firing system (heating from room temperature to 1145 °C at a heating rate of 3 °C / min, holding for 60 min, and then cooling) to obtain a foam ceramic product;

Experimentally, weigh 100 g of dry municipal solid waste incineration fly ash and add 250 ml of deionized water into a 500 ml beaker (liquid-solid ratio is 2.5:1).

[0152] Structural and property descriptions of the samples prepared in the above typical implementation process:

[0153] Figure 1 XRD patterns and physical pictures of Guangdong fly ash, Guangxi fly ash, kaolin, quartz, and waste glass powder in Example 1 and Example 10: (a1) Guangdong fly ash; (a2) Guangxi fly ash; (b) kaolin; (c1) quartz; (c2) waste glass powder; Figure 2 XRD patterns and physical pictures of the mixed materials and foam ceramics in Example 1 and Example 10, where (d1) mixed material containing Guangdong fly ash; (d2) mixed material containing Guangxi fly ash; (e1) foam ceramic containing Guangdong fly ash; (e2) foam ceramic containing Guangxi fly ash. From Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen from the XRD images that the components of fly ash and the mixed materials are relatively complex, kaolin, quartz, and waste glass powder are relatively pure, and the main crystal phases in the foam ceramics are anorthite and calcium silicate.

It can be seen that the pores are evenly distributed, mostly single pores, and there are very few connected pores. The pore size is mainly distributed at 284 μm.

It can be seen from the figure the EDS spectra corresponding to the four elements O, Si, Al, and Ca, and the distribution of the four elements is relatively uniform.

It can be seen from the figure that the EDS spectra corresponding to the four elements of O, Si, Al, and Ca, and the distribution of the four elements is relatively uniform.

[0158] The implementation results show that for the foam ceramic prepared by the method of the present invention, the leaching concentration of heavy metal ions meets the national standard requirements, and the flexural strength far exceeds the national standard requirements. It not only realizes waste utilization, provides a new way for the harmless treatment of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash, but also turns waste into treasure and broadens the resource application field of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash.

[0159] Comparative Example 1

[0160] In this comparative example, the method for preparing foam ceramic based on high-calcium and low-silicon municipal solid waste incineration fly ash includes the following steps:

[0161] (1) First, pretreat the Guangxi waste incineration fly ash. Through the water washing process, reduce its chloride ion content. Experimentally weigh 100 g of dry waste incineration fly ash and 250 ml of deionized water and add them to a 500 ml beaker (liquid-solid ratio is 2.5:1). Add a magnetic rotor and stir magnetically for 30 min. Use a "qualitative filter paper + sintered filter device + vacuum pump" for solid-liquid separation, then add deionized water for suction filtration until the filtrate is clear, and then dry and weigh (dry at 105 °C for 12 h). Use EDX to detect the content of each element in the fly ash before and after water washing to verify the removal effect of chloride ions (ideal effect: the chloride ion content in the fly ash after water washing is less than 0.1%).

[0162] (2) Then mix the water-washed Guangxi fly ash, kaolin, and waste glass powder in a ratio of 5:4:11, and add an appropriate amount of foaming agent silicon carbide to form a mixture; in the mixture, the content of SiO2 is 65.07 wt%, the content of Al2O3 is 11.38 wt%, the content of CaO is 11.08 wt%, the content of SO3 is 3.51 wt%, the content of Na2O is 2.94 wt%, the content of Mg is 2.13 wt%, the content of Fe2O3 is 1.22 wt%, the content of SiC is 1 wt%, the content of P2O5 is 0.38 wt%, the content of K2O is 0.36 wt%, the content of TiO2 is 0.35 wt%, the content of MnO is 0.05 wt%, and the balance is impurities, totaling 100%; ball mill in a high-speed grinder for 8 h (ball-material-water ratio is 2:1:0.8). After ball milling, dry at 105 °C for 12 h and pass through a 100-mesh sieve.

[0163] (3) Finally, weigh the required amount of the mixed material and press it into tablets (from 10 Mpa until the pressure no longer decreases). Place it on a corundum backing plate and sinter it in an electric resistance furnace according to the established firing system (heating from room temperature to 1145 °C at a heating rate of 3 °C / min, holding for 60 min, and then cooling down) to obtain a foam ceramic product.

[0164] Compared with Example 10, only the formulation ratio of the raw materials is changed, and the SiO2 content exceeds the control range of 40 wt% - 60 wt%. The foam glass is as Figure 7 shown. Figure 7 In it, (a) is a physical picture of the foam glass of Comparative Example 1, and (b) is a cross-sectional physical picture of the foam glass of Comparative Example 1.

[0165] It can be Figure 7 seen that the SiO2 content in the formulated raw materials should be controlled within 40 wt% - 60 wt%. Beyond this range, it is impossible to sinter and obtain a foam ceramic within the determined firing system range. This is because the increase in the SiO2 content will lead to an increase in the sintering temperature, and preparing a foam ceramic product requires consuming more energy, which is not conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction. At the same time, the fly ash utilization rate of this ratio formulation is relatively low, and the waste utilization effect is average.

[0166] Comparative Example 2

[0167] In this comparative example, a method for preparing a foam ceramic based on high-calcium and low-silicon domestic waste incineration fly ash includes the following steps:

[0168] (1) First, pretreat the Guangxi waste incineration fly ash. Through the water washing process, reduce its chloride ion content. Experimentally weigh 100 g of dry waste incineration fly ash and 250 ml of deionized water and add them to a 500 ml beaker (liquid-solid ratio is 2.5:1). Add a magnetic rotor and stir magnetically for 30 min. Use a "qualitative filter paper + sand core filtration device + vacuum pump" for solid-liquid separation, then add deionized water for suction filtration until the filtrate is clear, and then dry and weigh it (dry at 105 °C for 12 h). Use EDX to detect the content of each element in the fly ash before and after water washing to verify the chloride ion removal effect (ideal effect: the chloride ion content in the fly ash after water washing is lower than 0.1%).

[0169] (2) Then mix the washed Guangxi fly ash, kaolin, and waste glass powder in a ratio of 3:6:1, and add an appropriate amount of foaming agent silicon carbide to form a mixture. In the mixture, the content of SiO2 is 48.18 wt%, the content of Al2O3 is 26.76 wt%, the content of CaO is 13.16 wt%, the content of SO3 is 4.12 wt%, the content of MgO is 2.55 wt%, the content of Fe2O3 is 1.67 wt%, the content of SiC is 1 wt%, the content of K2O is 0.59 wt%, the content of Na2O is 0.53 wt%, the content of TiO2 is 0.42 wt%, the content of P2O5 is 0.37 wt%, the content of MnO is 0.06 wt%, and the balance is impurities, totaling 100%; ball mill in a high-speed grinder for 8 h (the ratio of balls to materials to water is 2:1:0.8). After ball milling, dry at 105 °C for 12 h and screen through a 100-mesh sieve.

[0170] (3) Finally, weigh the required amount of the mixed material for tableting (from 10 Mpa until the pressure no longer decreases), place it on a corundum backing plate, and sinter it in a resistance furnace according to the established firing system (heating from room temperature to 1145 °C at a heating rate of 3 °C / min, holding for 60 min, and then cooling) to obtain a foam ceramic product.

[0171] Compared with Example 10, only the formulation ratio of the raw materials is changed, and the content of Al2O3 exceeds the control range of 10 wt% - 20 wt%. The insufficiently sintered foam ceramics are as Figure 8 shown. Figure 8 In Figure 1 , (a) is the physical object of the insufficiently sintered foam ceramic of Comparative Example 2 Figure 2 .

[0172] It can be seen from Figure 8 that the content of Al2O3 in the formulated raw materials should be controlled within 10 wt% - 25 wt%. Beyond this range, within the determined firing system range, foam ceramics cannot be sintered. This is because the increase in the content of Al2O3 will cause the softening temperature of the specimen to rise, resulting in an increase in the sintering temperature. Preparing foam ceramic products requires consuming more energy, which is not conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction. At the same time, the utilization rate of fly ash in this ratio formulation is relatively low, and the waste utilization effect is average.

[0173] Comparative Example 3

[0174] In this comparative example, the method for preparing foam ceramics based on high-calcium and low-silicon domestic waste incineration fly ash includes the following steps:

[0175] (1) First, pre-treat the municipal solid waste incineration fly ash in Guangxi. Through the water washing process, reduce its chloride ion content. In the experiment, weigh 100 g of dry municipal solid waste incineration fly ash and add 250 ml of deionized water into a 500 ml beaker (liquid-solid ratio is 2.5:1). Add a magnetic rotor and stir magnetically for 30 min. Use a "qualitative filter paper + sintered filter plate device + vacuum pump" for solid-liquid separation, then add deionized water for suction filtration until the filtrate is clear. Then, dry and weigh (dry at 105 °C for 12 h). Use EDX to detect the content of each element in the fly ash before and after water washing to verify the removal effect of chloride ions (ideal effect: the chloride ion content in the fly ash after water washing is lower than 0.1%).

[0176] (2) Then, mix the water-washed fly ash in Guangxi, kaolin, and waste glass powder in a ratio of 11:4:5, and add an appropriate amount of foaming agent silicon carbide to form a mixture. In the mixture, the content of SiO2 is 43.10 wt%, the content of CaO is 24.15 wt%, the content of Al2O3 is 12.73 wt%, the content of SO3 is 7.51 wt%, the content of MgO is 4.68 wt%, the content of Fe2O3 is 2.44 wt%, the content of Na2O is 1.34 wt%, the content of SiC is 1 wt%, the content of TiO2 is 0.74 wt%, the content of P2O5 is 0.68 wt%, the content of K2O is 0.56 wt%, the content of MnO is 0.10 wt%, and the balance is impurities, totaling 100%; ball mill in a high-speed grinder for 8 h (ball-to-material-to-water ratio is 2:1:0.8). After ball milling, dry at 105 °C for 12 h and pass through a 100-mesh sieve.

[0177] (3) Finally, weigh the required amount of the mixed material for tabletting (from 10 Mpa until the pressure no longer decreases), place it on a corundum backing plate, and sinter it in an electric resistance furnace according to the established firing system (heat from room temperature to 1145 °C at a heating rate of 3 °C / min, hold for 60 min, and then cool down) to obtain a foam ceramic product.

[0178] Compared with Example 10, only the formulation ratio of the raw materials is changed, and the CaO content exceeds the controlled range of 10 wt% - 20 wt%. The glass ceramics are as Figure 9 shown. Figure 9 In Figure 1 , (a) is the glass ceramic in Comparative Example 3 Figure 2 .

[0179] From Figure 9It is known that the content of CaO in the formula raw materials should be controlled within 10wt% - 20wt%. Beyond this range, within the determined firing regime, it is impossible to sinter and obtain foamed ceramics. This is because CaO can act as a sintering aid, and if the content is too high, it will significantly reduce the sintering temperature, causing the foaming agent SiC to be difficult to function effectively.

[0180] Comparative Example 4

[0181] In this comparative example, a method for preparing foamed ceramics based on high-calcium and low-silicon municipal solid waste incineration fly ash includes the following steps:

[0182] (1) First, pretreat the Guangxi waste incineration fly ash. Through the water washing process, reduce its chloride ion content. Experimentally, weigh 100g of dry waste incineration fly ash and add 250ml of deionized water to a 500ml beaker (liquid-solid ratio is 2.5:1). Add a magnetic rotor and stir magnetically for 30 minutes. Use a "qualitative filter paper + sintered filter device + vacuum pump" for solid-liquid separation, then add deionized water for suction filtration until the filtrate is clear, and then dry and weigh (dry at 105°C for 12 hours). Use EDX to detect the content of each element in the fly ash before and after water washing to verify the removal effect of chloride ions (ideal effect: the chloride ion content in the fly ash after water washing is less than 0.1%).

[0183] (2) Then mix the water-washed Guangxi fly ash, kaolin, and waste glass powder in a ratio of 2:2:1, and add an appropriate amount of the foaming agent silicon carbide to form a mixture. In the mixture, the content of SiO2 is 46.99wt%, the content of Al2O3 is 19.43wt%, the content of CaO is 17.39wt%, the content of SO3 is 5.42wt%, the content of MgO is 3.37wt%, the content of Fe2O3 is 1.93wt%, the content of SiC is 2wt%, the content of Na2O is 1.06wt%, the content of K2O is 0.56wt%, the content of TiO2 is 0.54wt%, the content of P2O5 is 0.50wt%, the content of MnO is 0.08wt%, and the balance is impurities, totaling 100%; ball mill in a high-speed grinder for 8 hours (ball-material-water ratio is 2:1:0.8). After ball milling is completed, dry at 105°C for 12 hours and pass through a 100-mesh sieve.

[0184] (3) Finally, weigh the required amount of the mixed material for tabletting (from 10 Mpa until the pressure no longer decreases), place it on a corundum backing plate, and sinter in an electric resistance furnace according to the established firing regime (heat up from room temperature to 1145°C at a heating rate of 3°C / min, hold for 60 minutes, and then cool down) to obtain the foamed ceramic product.

[0185] Compared with Example 10, only the content of the foaming agent is increased to 2wt%, exceeding the content control range of SiC of 0.2wt% - 1wt%. The foamed ceramics are as followsFigure 10 As shown Figure 10 In (a) is the physical diagram of the foam ceramic of Comparative Example 4, and (b) is the cross-sectional physical diagram of the foam ceramic of Comparative Example 4.

[0186] It can be seen from Figure 10 that: the content of the foaming agent SiC in the formula raw materials should be controlled at 0.2wt~1wt%. Exceeding this range, the foaming effect of the foam ceramic is extremely poor. This is because the excessive aggregation of the foaming agent content leads to the appearance of a large number of large pores, making it difficult to carry out processing and performance testing and unable to be applied to production practice.

[0187] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
