Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of waste treatment and resource utilization technology, and particularly relates to a method for the co-processing and resource utilization of waste from incineration power plants. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of residents' living standards, the amount of municipal solid waste has increased rapidly. Due to its obvious advantages in volume reduction, stabilization and resource recovery, municipal solid waste incineration technology has been widely promoted in recent years. During the process of municipal solid waste incineration, power plants will generate solid, liquid and gaseous wastes such as leachate, fly ash and flue gas.
[0003] Landfill leachate contains high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, COD, heavy metals, and organic matter. The chlorinated aromatic organics in the leachate are extremely difficult to biodegrade, and the high concentration of ammonia nitrogen further complicates matters. This results in low efficiency of conventional biological methods in destroying pollutants. While conventional physicochemical methods can effectively remove heavy metals from leachate, they are expensive and insufficient to simultaneously and effectively remove all organic matter in the leachate.
[0004] Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash refers to the fine particles emitted during waste incineration and collected by end-of-pipe dust collectors. It is rich in heavy metals and carcinogenic dioxins, exhibiting extremely high leaching toxicity. There are three main technical routes for the treatment and disposal of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash: solidification followed by hazardous waste landfilling, stabilization followed by sanitary landfilling, and resource utilization. Commonly used solidification and stabilization technologies include cement solidification, melt solidification, and chelation stabilization. After stabilization, the fly ash is disposed of in landfills. The entry cost for most hazardous waste treatment plants is over 1,000 yuan per ton of fly ash, and in some areas with scarce disposal sites, the cost can reach as high as 3,000 yuan per ton. Even after strict pretreatment before being disposed of in municipal solid waste landfills, the treatment cost is still as high as 500-1,000 yuan per ton, increasing the overall cost of municipal solid waste treatment by 80-300 yuan per ton. Therefore, developing fly ash resource utilization technologies and reducing fly ash landfill costs are currently a research hotspot and the mainstream development direction for incineration fly ash treatment and disposal technologies. Due to differences in production processes, grate furnace fly ash generally contains less than 2% SiO2 and Al2O3, and contains a large amount of soluble salts such as NaCl, KCl and CaClOH, which severely limits its value as an auxiliary cementitious material for traditional Portland cement and geopolymer cement.
[0005] Even after desulfurization and denitrification treatment, the flue gas produced by waste incineration often still contains excessive carbon dioxide. Direct release into the atmosphere will accelerate the greenhouse effect. How to make full use of the carbon dioxide in the flue gas is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a method for the co-processing and resource utilization of three wastes from incineration power plants, thereby achieving the co-processing and resource utilization of leachate, fly ash, and flue gas generated during the incineration of municipal solid waste.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for the co-treatment and resource recovery of waste from incineration power plants, comprising the following steps:
[0008] S1. The fly ash from waste incineration and leachate are mixed and reacted through a three-stage countercurrent water washing device, and then solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain preliminary water-washed fly ash and water washing liquid;
[0009] S2. The preliminary water-washed fly ash obtained in step S1 is fed into a high-temperature and high-pressure reactor. Flue gas and landfill leachate are introduced into the high-temperature and high-pressure reactor. After low-temperature hot hydrolysis reaction, centrifugation and solid-liquid separation are performed to obtain mineralized and detoxified fly ash, thus realizing resource utilization.
[0010] S3. The washing liquid obtained from solid-liquid separation in steps S1 and S2 is processed through a nanofiltration membrane to obtain a concentrated solution containing COD and heavy metals and a filtrate.
[0011] S4. The concentrated liquid obtained in step S3 and the remaining flue gas in step S2 are fed into a high-pressure reactor. The metal in the concentrated liquid is removed by supercritical CO2 precipitation to form metal carbonate precipitate. The solid metal carbonate precipitate is separated by centrifugation and then landfilled. The COD-containing concentrated liquid is injected back into the waste incinerator and the decarbonized flue gas is discharged under reduced pressure.
[0012] S5. The filtrate obtained in step S3 is treated by reverse osmosis membrane to remove monovalent salts. The high-salt concentrate enters the high-pressure reverse osmosis and thermal evaporation process, and then industrial salt is obtained through concentration and crystallization. The resulting clear liquid or condensate is discharged in compliance with standards.
[0013] Furthermore, the solid-liquid ratio of the fly ash from waste incineration to the leachate described in S1 is 1:(2-10) kg / L.
[0014] Furthermore, the temperature of the mixing reaction described in S1 is 25–55°C, the rotation speed is 120–200 rpm, and the pH is 4–5.
[0015] Furthermore, one or more of salicylic acid, citric acid, and acetic acid are added to adjust the pH to 4-5.
[0016] Furthermore, the solid-liquid ratio of the preliminary water-washed fly ash to the landfill leachate described in S2 is 1:(2~10) kg / L.
[0017] Furthermore, the temperature of the low-temperature hot water hydrolysis reaction described in S2 is 300–400°C, and the reaction time is 2–5 hours.
[0018] Furthermore, the pressure of the high-pressure reactor described in S4 is 7.5–8.5 MPa, and the temperature is 31–35 °C.
[0019] Furthermore, the fly ash from waste incineration is a product collected by the flue gas purification system during the incineration process of municipal solid waste.
[0020] Furthermore, the leachate is an acidic liquid produced when municipal solid waste is piled up for 5 to 7 days before incineration.
[0021] Furthermore, the flue gas is the compliant flue gas emitted by the flue gas purification system during the incineration of municipal solid waste.
[0022] More specifically, a method for the co-treatment and resource recovery of waste from incineration power plants includes the following steps:
[0023] S1. The fly ash from waste incineration and leachate are passed through a three-stage countercurrent water washing device. The solid-liquid ratio of the fly ash to the leachate is 1:(2-10) kg / L. Under the conditions of 25-55℃ and 120-200 rpm, one or more of salicylic acid, citric acid and acetic acid are added to adjust the pH to 4-5. The heavy metals and soluble salts in the fly ash from waste incineration are separated through the leachate. After mixing and reacting for 30 min-1 h, solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain preliminary washed fly ash and washing liquid.
[0024] S2. The preliminary water-washed fly ash obtained in step S1 is fed into a high-temperature and high-pressure reactor. Flue gas and landfill leachate are introduced into the high-temperature and high-pressure reactor. The solid-liquid ratio of the preliminary water-washed fly ash to the landfill leachate is 1:(2~10)kg / L. The temperature is maintained at 300~400℃ using the residual heat of steam, and the reaction time is maintained at 2~5h. The dioxins in the flue gas and fly ash are degraded, and the CO2 in the flue gas is used to mineralize the fly ash. After the low-temperature hot hydrolysis reaction, centrifugation and solid-liquid separation are performed to obtain mineralized and detoxified fly ash and water washing liquid, which are then used together with the bottom ash to achieve resource utilization.
[0025] S3. The washing liquid obtained from solid-liquid separation in steps S1 and S2 is treated with nanofiltration membrane (nanofiltration NF) to remove COD, ammonia nitrogen and heavy metals (HMs) to obtain a concentrated solution containing COD and heavy metals and a filtrate.
[0026] S4. The concentrated liquid obtained in step S3 is passed into a high-pressure reactor. The pressure of the high-pressure reactor is 7.5–8.5 MPa, and the temperature is 31–35°C. The remaining flue gas from step S2 is also passed into the high-pressure reactor. Under these conditions, supercritical CO2 is formed. The CO2 in the flue gas reacts with the Pb in the concentrated liquid. 2+ Cd 2+ Cu 2+ Zn 2+ Cr 3+ Heavy metals and divalent Ca 2+Mg 2+ Ions form metal carbonate precipitates. These precipitates are then separated by centrifugation, and the solids are stabilized and landfilled. The resulting concentrated COD-containing liquid is injected back into the incinerator to adjust the furnace temperature, slow coking, and reduce NO content in the flue gas. x Content, decarbonized flue gas reduced pressure emission;
[0027] S5. The filtrate obtained in step S3 is treated with a reverse osmosis membrane (RO) to remove monovalent salts NaCl and KCl. The high-salt concentrate enters the high-pressure reverse osmosis DTRO / HPRO and thermal evaporation MVR processes, and then KCl and NaCl industrial salts are obtained through concentration and crystallization. The clear liquid or condensate obtained from the RO, DTRO / HPRO, MVR and concentration processes meets the discharge standards.
[0028] This invention utilizes leachate to wash away heavy metals and soluble chlorides in fly ash. It also employs an oxygen-free environment provided by flue gas and low-temperature hot water hydrolysis to degrade dioxins in both the fly ash and flue gas. The leachate is then used again for deep washing away residual heavy metals and soluble chlorides in the fly ash, and CO2 from the flue gas is used for wet mineralization of the fly ash. Thirdly, CO2 from the flue gas is used to precipitate and separate heavy metals from the eluent, and membrane filtration and evaporation technologies are used to recover KCl and NaCl from the concentrated eluent. The final fly ash contains a total dioxin residue that meets the requirements of HJ 1134; the heavy metal leaching concentration meets the national standard GB 8978, allowing for resource utilization by mixing with bottom ash; the leachate is discharged in compliance with standards, and the concentrated leachate is re-injected into the furnace; and the CO2 volume fraction in the flue gas is reduced to below 2%.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects:
[0030] (1) This invention provides a synergistic solution for the harmless treatment and resource utilization of leachate, fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration, and flue gas generated during the production process of waste-to-energy plants. It creatively solves the problems of high-salt wastewater, solid waste resource utilization, and deep decarbonization of flue gas.
[0031] The method of this invention utilizes the weak acidity of a portion of the landfill leachate to perform a three-stage countercurrent water washing process on municipal solid waste incineration fly ash to remove more than 90% of the soluble salts and heavy metals. Then, the remaining leachate, washed fly ash, and flue gas are subjected to a low-temperature hot water hydrolysis process to further remove soluble salts and heavy metals from the fly ash and degrade dioxins in the fly ash and flue gas. Part of the CO2 in the flue gas is used to form mineralized detoxified fly ash, so that the total dioxin residue in the final fly ash meets the requirements of HJ 1134; the heavy metal leaching concentration meets the national standard GB 8978, and it can be mixed into the bottom ash for resource utilization.
[0032] The washing liquid produced by the three-stage countercurrent washing and low-temperature hot water hydrolysis process of this invention is rich in COD, ammonia nitrogen, and sodium. + K + Cl - Characterized by high levels of heavy metal ions and CO2 in flue gas, nanofiltration was used to separate a clear solution containing monovalent salts and a concentrated solution containing high COD and heavy metals. Furthermore, a supercritical CO2 reactor was used to promote the formation of supercritical CO2 in the flue gas, significantly increasing its solubility in the concentrated solution to over 30,000 ppm, thereby promoting the separation of heavy metals and calcium from the concentrated solution. 2+ Mg 2+ Ions produce carbonate precipitates, separating COD and ammonia nitrogen concentrate, which is then injected back into the incinerator furnace to adjust the furnace temperature, slow down coking, and reduce NO in the flue gas. x The content of carbon dioxide is reduced, and the flue gas is discharged under reduced pressure. The reduced amount of carbonate precipitate is stabilized and solidified before being landfilled. After supercritical CO2 deep decarbonization, the CO2 volume fraction of the flue gas is reduced to below 2%. The monovalent salt clear liquid after nanofiltration is further processed through reverse osmosis, high-pressure reverse osmosis, thermal evaporation and concentration processes to obtain separated and crystallized salts NaCl and KCl. The clear liquid is discharged or used as makeup water for a three-stage countercurrent water washing process and a high-temperature hot water hydrolysis process.
[0033] (2) The resource utilization method of the present invention does not require chemical consumption, which reduces the procurement costs of chelating agents for fly ash treatment and flocculants for leachate treatment in municipal solid waste incineration plants. It utilizes the heat energy of boiler flue gas and the electricity generated by incineration power generation, which is clean and environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description

[0083] S4. The concentrated liquid obtained in step S3 is passed into a high-pressure reactor at a pressure of 7.5 MPa and a temperature of 35°C.

The CO2 in the flue gas reacts with the Pb in the concentrated liquid. 2+ Cd 2+ Cu 2+ Zn 2+ Cr 3+ Heavy metals and divalent Ca 2+ Mg 2+ Ions form metal carbonate precipitates. These precipitates are then separated by centrifugation, and the solids are stabilized and landfilled.

[0101]
[0102] It can be seen that, compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 shows that the concentration of some heavy metals in the mineralized detoxified fly ash exceeds the standard, and the soluble chlorine content does not meet the requirements for fly ash resource utilization. This is because the solid-liquid ratio of the initial water-washed fly ash to the landfill leachate used was 1:1 (kg / L), which results in low leaching efficiency of the leachate for heavy metals and soluble chlorides in the fly ash. The XRD mineral composition maps of the original fly ash, the mineralized detoxified fly ash in Example 1, and Comparative Example 1 are shown below. Figure 2 ,from Figure 2 The XRD mineral analysis of the demineralized fly ash also shows that the fly ash in the comparative example still contains some sodium chloride and potassium chloride, while the demineralized fly ash in Example 1 only contains obvious calcium carbonate, quartz, calcium sulfate and amorphous aluminosilicates.
[0103] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 2 showed a higher level of dioxin residue in the detoxified fly ash, which was far higher than the requirements for fly ash resource utilization. This was because when using the low-temperature hot water decomposition process, the temperature was maintained at 200°C using waste steam heat, which was lower than the temperature requirement for supercritical water reaction, resulting in a sharp decrease in dioxin degradation efficiency.
[0104] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 3 showed a higher CO2 volume fraction in the decarbonized flue gas in S4. This was because the concentrated liquid obtained in S3 was fed into a high-pressure reactor. The pressure of the high-pressure reactor was 5 MPa, which was lower than the critical pressure of supercritical carbon dioxide. This reduced the diffusion and solubility of CO2 in water, thereby decreasing the ability of alkaline earth metals Ca, Mg and heavy metals in fly ash to capture CO2.
[0105] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 4 showed a higher CO2 volume fraction in the decarbonized flue gas in S4. This was because the concentrated liquid obtained in S3 was fed into a high-pressure reactor at a temperature of 25°C, lower than the critical temperature of supercritical carbon dioxide. This reduced the diffusion and solubility of CO2 in water, decreasing the capture capacity of alkaline earth metals (Ca), Mg, and heavy metals in the fly ash for CO2. In summary, the total dioxin residue in the fly ash obtained in the embodiments of this invention meets the requirements of HJ 1134; the heavy metal leaching concentration meets the national standard GB 8978, allowing for resource utilization by mixing with bottom ash; the leachate meets discharge standards, and the concentrated liquid is reinjected into the furnace; the CO2 volume fraction in the flue gas is reduced to below 2%. Furthermore, the treatment process requires no chemical consumption, reducing the procurement costs of chelating agents for fly ash treatment and flocculants for leachate treatment in municipal solid waste incineration plants. It utilizes the boiler's flue gas heat and the electricity generated from incineration power generation, making it clean and environmentally friendly.
