Description

deep dechlorination system for fly ash reduction in waste incineration Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of waste incineration fly ash treatment technology, specifically relating to a deep reduction and dechlorination system for waste incineration fly ash. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous increase in the amount of municipal solid waste generated, waste-to-energy incineration has become a widely used, efficient waste treatment method. However, the fly ash produced during waste incineration contains a large amount of harmful substances. Chloride components not only cause severe corrosion to equipment in subsequent resource utilization stages but may also migrate with leachate during landfilling, polluting soil and groundwater. Furthermore, heavy metals (such as lead, cadmium, and mercury) accumulated in fly ash, if directly discharged or disposed of without effective treatment, will pose a significant threat to the ecological environment and human health. Therefore, deep dechlorination treatment of waste incineration fly ash to achieve its harmlessness and resource utilization has become a critical issue that the waste incineration industry urgently needs to address.

[0003] Currently, common technologies for dechlorination of fly ash from waste incineration include water washing and chemical treatment. While traditional water washing dechlorination processes can remove some soluble chlorides, they suffer from low volume reduction efficiency, high water consumption, and high costs for subsequent wastewater treatment. Some systems using single pH adjustment struggle to precisely control pH, leading to insufficient removal of soluble substances from fly ash. In the solid-liquid separation stage, most systems use ordinary filter presses, which cannot effectively reduce the moisture content of the filter cake. This results in the filter cake carrying a large amount of salt solution into the subsequent rinsing process, requiring more rinsing cycles to achieve the dechlorination target, significantly increasing the project's construction and operating costs. Furthermore, existing dechlorination systems lack process continuity in their design, and at the pH adjustment endpoint, violent slurry reactions can easily generate large amounts of foam overflow, disrupting normal production and posing safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a waste incineration fly ash treatment system that can achieve efficient deep dechlorination, precise pH adjustment, reduced operating costs, and ensure process continuity. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the aforementioned shortcomings and deficiencies in the existing technology, one of the objectives of this utility model is to at least solve one or more of the aforementioned problems in the existing technology. In other words, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a waste incineration fly ash deep reduction and dechlorination system that meets one or more of the aforementioned requirements.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0047] The waste incineration fly ash deep reduction and dechlorination system described in the above embodiment was applied to the treatment of incineration fly ash in a municipal solid waste incineration plant, as detailed below:

[0048] Deep dechlorination was performed on fly ash from a municipal solid waste incineration plant. The solid waste contained 15-20% chloride, 30-60% calcium, and 200-400 mg / kg of heavy metals. The fly ash entered the pre-dissolving tank 1 through the solid waste inlet, and secondary filtrate was added through the wash water inlet.

After mixing with agitation and aeration and once the pH stabilized, the ash flowed underflow into the second pH adjustment tank 9. Hydrochloric acid was added through the second pH adjustment pump 7 to control the pH of the slurry to around 9. The slurry pH is around 8. Simultaneously, 2.5-10% heavy metal stabilizer is added to the heavy metal stabilizer dosing tank 11 via the heavy metal stabilizer dosing pump 12. The mixture is stirred and aerated.
