Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of sludge resource utilization, and particularly relates to a method for extracting phosphorus from sludge incineration ash and resource utilization of residues thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Phosphorus is one of the essential elements for all living things, and is also a non-naturally renewable resource. According to the current mining rate, it is reported that the global proven reserves of phosphorus ore will be exhausted in 50-100 years, and the risk of phosphorus resource shortage is increasingly prominent. Municipal sludge is a potential secondary phosphorus source, and the recovery of phosphorus therefrom is of great significance for alleviating the crisis of phosphorus ore resources, promoting sludge resource utilization, and controlling phosphorus pollution. However, the phosphorus in municipal sludge exists in complex forms, which is difficult to directly recover and utilize. Existing researches mainly use acid / alkali treatment, anaerobic digestion, and hydrothermal treatment to transfer phosphorus in the solid phase of sludge to the liquid phase, and then recover phosphorus from the phosphorus-rich liquid by precipitation, adsorption, crystallization, and other methods. However, these methods generally have the problems of low phosphorus recovery efficiency, long cycle, high energy consumption, and the like.
[0003] In recent years, heat treatment technology has been favored by more and more researchers because it can realize efficient reduction, harmless treatment, and resource utilization of sludge. Under this background, the research focus of phosphorus recovery has gradually shifted to the heat treatment products of sludge. For example, patent CN113072267A proposes a new method for sludge resource utilization by using iron salt to modify sludge-alkali metal to activate iron-containing sludge pyrolysis-water immersion phosphorus recovery, which successfully converts sludge into phosphorus-rich solution and porous biochar functional material. However, the specific surface area of the porous biochar functional material obtained by this method is only 50-200 m 2 / g, which is relatively low compared with the specific surface area of biochar obtained by pyrolysis of other agricultural and forestry biomass or biochar obtained by pyrolysis of modified sludge (the specific surface area can be up to 1000 m 2 / g or more), which may limit its high-value-added resource utilization approach and is not conducive to large-scale utilization. At the same time, from the perspective of industrialization, the number of sludge pyrolysis projects actually put into production in China is relatively small, and most of the researches are still in the laboratory research or pilot-scale stage, lacking systematic research and practical experience of industrial application of large-scale projects, which is difficult to directly provide effective reference and guidance for large-scale industrial production.
[0004] Compared with sludge pyrolysis technology, sludge incineration technology has more successful cases and rich practical experience in actual engineering application. Patent CN 118619226 A proposes a method for selectively leaching and recovering phosphorus resources from sludge incineration ash. The method mixes sludge incineration ash with calcium oxide, presses into shape, high-temperature modification, dilute acid leaching, and a series of steps such as precipitation separation, and finally obtains phosphate products. However, this method has complex processing flow, and the acid leaching process may leach out impurity elements such as metals, making it difficult to remove impurities and resulting in low product purity. At the same time, the above method mainly focuses on the recovery of phosphorus in sludge, and it is difficult to achieve large-scale safe resource utilization of the remaining sludge. Although patent CN 119774950 A proposes a method for preparing cement mortar using sludge incineration ash, research shows that directly using phosphorus-rich sludge incineration ash for cement mortar may interfere with the cement hydration process, thereby affecting the engineering performance of the material, limiting its application potential in the construction field.
[0005] In summary, the existing sludge phosphorus recovery method has the problems of low phosphorus recovery efficiency, long processing flow, and difficulty or poor effect in resource utilization of the remaining residue after phosphorus recovery, which cannot meet the needs of actual production and environmental protection. SUMMARY
[0006] In view of the deficiencies and improvement needs of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method for extracting phosphorus from sludge incineration ash and resource utilization of its residue, which improves the overall process design and proposes a new method of calcium salt conditioning sludge dewatering-sludge co-incineration with alkali metal reagent-water leaching phosphorus recovery-incineration ash leaching residue resource utilization. Compared with the prior art, it can effectively solve the problems of low phosphorus recovery efficiency, long processing flow, and insufficient resource utilization of the remaining residue after phosphorus recovery. The method has a simple process, can simultaneously achieve efficient recovery (>90%) of phosphorus resources in sludge and complete resource utilization (replacing part of cement as building material) of incineration ash leaching residue during sludge treatment and disposal, and has significant economic and environmental benefits.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a method for extracting phosphorus from sludge incineration ash and resource utilization of its residue, characterized in that the method first adds calcium salt to municipal sludge for conditioning and dewatering; then mixes the calcium-containing sludge with an alkali metal reagent and incinerates it to obtain sludge incineration ash; then performs water leaching treatment on the sludge incineration ash, and solid-liquid separation to obtain a phosphorus-rich solution and incineration ash leaching residue; finally, the incineration ash leaching residue can be directly mixed, stirred, and cured with ordinary Portland cement, standard sand, and water in a certain proportion to prepare a cement mortar test block.
[0008] Preferably, the calcium salt is one or more of calcium chloride, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate or calcium oxide; the calcium salt is added in an amount of 1:5 to 20 (w / w) of the dry sludge.
[0009] The alkali reagent is selected from one or more of potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or potassium-sodium alkali residue.
[0010] The calcium-containing sludge is further subjected to dewatering, drying, grinding and sieving before co-incineration with the alkali reagent.
[0011] The alkali reagent is completely mixed with the calcium-containing sludge, and the ratio of the amount of the alkali reagent to the mass of ash in the calcium-containing sludge is 1:2 to 2:1.
[0012] The sieving is performed through a 100-mesh sieve.
[0013] The incineration is performed in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 750 to 900℃.
[0014] The solid-liquid ratio used in the water immersion treatment is 10 to 30 g / L, and the water immersion time is 30 to 60 min.
[0015] The incineration ash leaching residue is directly mixed with ordinary Portland cement, standard sand and water at a mass ratio of 5 to 8:15 to 25:55 to 65:15 to 20, stirred, poured into a mold after uniform stirring, vibrated on a vibrating table to remove air bubbles, leveled, placed in an incubator for curing and demolding, and a cement mortar test block is obtained.
[0016] Specifically, the advantages of the present application are as follows: the calcium salt is used to condition the sludge for dewatering, which can effectively destroy the colloidal stability of the sludge, improve the flocculation structure and filter cake properties, and significantly improve the dewatering performance of the sludge and reduce the subsequent sludge drying energy consumption through multiple effects such as charge neutralization, bridging, replacement, hydrophobicization and generation of rigid skeleton; on the other hand, the dissolved phosphorus in the sludge liquid phase will also combine with calcium to form calcium phosphate precipitate in the calcium-containing sludge, improving the recovery rate of phosphorus in the sludge. During the incineration of the sludge, organic phosphorus is also decomposed into phosphorus-containing oxides, which combine with metals in the sludge to form orthophosphates (iron phosphate, aluminum phosphate and calcium phosphate); then, the alkali reagent reacts with the orthophosphates to convert the insoluble metal phosphates into water-soluble potassium phosphate. Since the water immersion liquid after incineration of the alkali reagent is alkaline, it can selectively leach out phosphorus (water-soluble potassium / sodium phosphate) and effectively inhibit the dissolution of metals and other impurities, significantly simplifying the subsequent treatment process of the phosphorus-rich liquid. At the same time, the addition of calcium in the sludge and the dissolution of phosphorus in the incineration ash are both conducive to promoting the hydration process of cement and improving its setting strength, providing conditions for the resource utilization of the sludge incineration ash leaching residue.
[0017] The reaction of the alkali reagent with different kinds of metal phosphate in the sludge in the present application is mainly completed by formula (1-18), which converts the insoluble metal phosphate in the sludge into water-soluble sodium / potassium phosphate, and then the phosphorus in the sludge incineration ash can be dissolved by simple water immersion.

[0036] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0037] 1. Efficient phosphorus recovery and simultaneous realization of residue resourceization
[0038] Through calcium salt conditioning sludge dewatering + alkali reagent co-incineration + water immersion treatment, the phosphorus recovery rate can reach more than 90%. At the same time, the water immersion residue of incineration ash can directly replace part of the cement to prepare qualified building materials, realizing the complete resourceization of phosphorus and inorganic components in sludge incineration ash.
[0039] 2. Good impurity separation effect and simplified process
[0040] The water immersion process is carried out under alkaline conditions, which can selectively leach out phosphorus while effectively inhibiting the leaching of metal and other impurity elements. Compared with acid leaching method, the difficulty of removing impurities from the subsequent phosphorus-rich liquid is greatly reduced, the product purity is improved, and only simple impurity removal and crystallization steps are required.
[0041] 3. Integrated design reduces overall process cost and improves marketization potential
[0042] Through integrated design from source to terminal (calcium salt dewatering to reduce energy consumption-alkali reagent co-incineration to avoid acid leaching-leaching residue utilization to save treatment cost), energy saving and resource recycling are realized, and the overall cost is significantly reduced. At the same time, relying on the widely used mature sludge incineration process, it is easier to be adopted by existing facilities, promoting marketization application and popularization.

Specifically:

[0050] Step S3: The sludge incineration ash is leached in water with a solid-liquid ratio of 10-30 g / L for 30-60 min. After leaching, solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain a phosphorus-rich solution and incineration ash leaching residue.
[0051] Step S4: Directly mix and stir the incineration ash leachate residue with ordinary silicate cement, standard sand, and water in a mass ratio of 5-8:15-25:55-65:15-20. After stirring evenly, pour the mixture into a mold, vibrate it on a compaction table to remove air bubbles, scrape the surface smooth, place it in an incubator for curing, and then demold it to obtain a cement mortar test block.
