Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the amount of garbage is increasing rapidly. Waste incineration has become one of the main ways of garbage disposal in China due to its high degree of reduction, harmlessness and resource utilization. However, a large amount of fly ash is produced during the process of waste incineration. The fly ash is rich in heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, zinc, chromium and copper, as well as dioxin persistent organic pollutants. According to the National Hazardous Waste List, it is clearly listed as hazardous waste. If not properly treated, it will cause serious pollution to the soil, water and atmosphere, and threaten human health.

The application discloses a process for stabilizing heavy metals in municipal solid waste incineration fly ash, which includes the following steps: S1, mixing fly ash, chelating agent and water and stirring to obtain chelating slurry; S2, shaping the chelating slurry in a mold and curing to complete the stabilization treatment of the fly ash. The chelating agent is composed of EDTA and silicon-phosphorus-sulfur inorganic chelating agent, and the weight ratio of EDTA to silicon-phosphorus-sulfur inorganic chelating agent is (2-5.5):1.

[0004] Chinese patent CN115368104B discloses a method for solidifying heavy metals in waste incineration fly ash.
