Experimental Research of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Fly Ash in Electric Arc Furnace Melting Process Integrated with Water-Washing and Na2CO3 Addition
摘要
Municipal solidMunicipal solid waste incineration fly ash waste incinerationElectric arc furnace melting fly ash (MSWI-FA) has the prominent issues of high content of heavy metals and chlorides, significant environmental hazards, and the substantial challenges in achieving large-scale and harmless treatmentHarmless treatment. This study employs a 50 kVA pilot-scale DC electric arc furnace (EAF) melting experiment to investigate the impact of water-washingWater washing and Na2CO3 additionNaCO addition on the vitrified product (VP) generated during the harmless treatmentHarmless treatment of MSWI-FA via EAF melting. The results demonstrate that water-washingWater washing significantly reduces the chloride content in MSWI-FA, achieving removal efficiencies of 95.2%, 94.2% and 91.6% for NaCl, KCl and CaCl2 respectively. The addition of Na2CO3 exerts an even greater influence on the chlorine content within VP, reducing the final chlorine content to nearly 0%. The heavy metal toxicity of final VP is substantially lower than the limits stipulated for Class III water quality standards in the “Environmental Quality Standards for SurfaceSurface Water” (GB 3838-2002).
