Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of resource utilization of household garbage incineration fly ash, and in particular to a fly ash dechlorination method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Porcelain powder, mainly from waste bases, waste glaze, polishing waste residues and the like in the ceramic production process, is one of the main solid wastes in the ceramic industry. Porcelain powder itself has a certain application prospect in the building material field, but the application of ceramic waste residues in the building material field has technical difficulties such as "high cost and unstable performance", which restricts its large-scale transformation. Porcelain powder does not belong to hazardous waste, but its direct discharge will also seriously pollute the environment. At present, due to technical and financial limitations, the treatment and utilization rate of waste residues in the domestic ceramic industry is relatively low.

[0003] Fly ash, as one of the by-products of waste incineration technology, its production gradually increases with the large-scale application of waste incineration in China. Fly ash contains a large amount of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Cr), persistent organic pollutants (dioxins, etc.) and soluble salts, and is therefore defined as hazardous waste and listed in the National Hazardous Waste List, No. HW18. Although fly ash is defined as hazardous waste, it has great resource utilization potential due to the total proportion of elements such as Ca, Si, Al, Fe and Mg reaching 50%-70%.

[0004] The main obstacle to the resource utilization of fly ash is the high content of heavy metals, dioxins and chlorine salts in fly ash. High content of chlorine salts can seriously affect the strength and hardness of concrete, hinder the cement hydration process and increase the risk of heavy metal leaching in the solidified body. Therefore, harmless treatment and deep dechlorination to reduce the chlorine salt content in fly ash are the first step in fly ash utilization. The main methods of fly ash harmless treatment and disposal are separation and extraction, solidification / stabilization and thermal treatment technology. Compared with other methods, thermal treatment has the advantages of short treatment period, large treatment capacity, high dioxin degradation effect, good heavy metal solidification effect, small leaching risk and large amount of chlorine salt volatilization. The common fly ash thermal treatment temperature needs to reach about 1200-1300℃ to complete the overall volatilization of chlorine salts, and there will still be a part of insoluble chlorine, which will hinder its further application. Therefore, a certain modifier needs to be added to reduce the temperature required for fly ash thermal treatment and promote the conversion of insoluble chlorine in fly ash. The main modifiers are SiO2, Al2O3, Na2CO3 and B2O3. Porcelain powder, which is mainly composed of silicates and aluminum oxide, is a perfect modifier choice. The part of iron oxide and other substances contained in porcelain powder can also optimize the composition of fly ash after thermal treatment. Therefore, porcelain powder can be used as a modifier for fly ash dechlorination, which can realize the resource utilization of fly ash and turn waste into treasure.

[0005] The information disclosed in this Background section is only for the purpose of increasing an understanding of the general context of the present application and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art that is already known in any country in the world. SUMMARY

[0011] (4) calcining the solid mixture at 900-1100℃ for 1-10h to obtain dechlorinated fly ash.

[0012] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the step (1) is that the porcelain powder is ground and then sieved through a 80-200 mesh sieve, and dried at a temperature of 70-90℃ for 1-5h.

[0013] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the step (2) is that the fly ash is dried at a temperature of 70-90℃ for 10-48h, and then ground and sieved through a 80-200 mesh sieve.

[0014] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the step (3) is that the addition amount of the porcelain powder accounts for 20-40% of the mass of the fly ash.

[0015] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the step (3) is that the addition amount of the porcelain powder accounts for 30% of the mass of the fly ash.

[0016] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the step (4) is that the calcination is carried out at a temperature rising rate of 3-6℃ / min, and the temperature is raised to a final temperature of 900-1100℃.

[0017] An application of porcelain powder in dechlorination of fly ash, wherein the porcelain powder is used for dechlorination of fly ash, and the method for dechlorination of fly ash is as described above.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The fly ash dechlorination method of this invention uses ceramic powder as an additive for fly ash dechlorination. Its main components highly overlap with the requirements for fly ash as a building material, effectively increasing the physicochemical properties of fly ash used in building materials, achieving waste-to-waste treatment, and reducing the use of chemical reagents. Simultaneously, the fly ash additive can effectively lower the reaction temperature of fly ash heat treatment, thus reducing energy consumption. Compared with traditional methods, this method is simple and efficient, and can also reduce the final heavy metal leaching rate of fly ash, offering selectivity in subsequent processing.
