摘要

Municipal sludge (MS) threatens ecological security and human health, requiring efficient, low-carbon treatment technologies for environmental protection. The sustainable use of MS in brick and tile kilns to manufacture building materials with lower environmental impacts is a promising approach for sludge disposal and resource/energy recovery. This study investigated the kinetics, gas emissions, and synergistic effects of the co-disposal of MS, coal gangue (CG), and shale (SH). Results showed that MS significantly enhanced the combustibility of CG-SH blends, with 5% MS increasing the comprehensive combustion index S by 502%. Kinetic analysis revealed that the combustion of MS-blended systems was best described by a first-order model. At the conversion rate of 0.5, MS combustion processed transition from Power law P6 to Avrami-Erofeev A2.7, reflecting a shift from surface-diffusion-controlled volatilization to nucleation-controlled char oxidation. Gas emissions, especially emissions of reducing species, varied with atmospheric conditions. This affected the release of NOx through in-situ denitrification, which was critical for air pollution control. The 5% MS blend showed synergistic combustion enhancement, while 20% MS induced the strongest inhibition near 560 °C due to ash-mediated solid-solid reactions. Under inert conditions, the highest suppression was found at 880–1000 °C in the 10% MS blend. This work provides insights and theoretical guidance for optimizing MS co-disposal in brick and tile kilns, facilitating efficient waste treatment, emission control and energy recovery.
