Experimental study on solidification/stabilization of concentrated solution sludge with Granulated ground blast-furnace slag and municipal solid waste incineration by-products geopolymer
摘要
The concentrated solution sludge (CSS) produced by the immersion combustion evaporation process has extremely high soluble salt content. Ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) and municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) by-products geopolymer is adopted for solidification/stabilization (S/S) of CSS. A series of unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test, water immersion tests, microscopic observation tests and leaching toxicity tests were carried out on the solidified sludge to investigate the S/S effect and mechanism of the prepared geopolymer on CSS. Results show that the MSWI by-products can effectively promote the geopolymerization of precursors and improve the compressive strength and water stability of the solidified CSS. The leaching concentration of heavy metal and PCDD/Fs [polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs)] can satisfy the relevant standards of China. The geopolymeric gels generated by GGBS-based geopolymer can effectively cement and wrap the CSS particles, which is the S/S mechanism of the CSS solidified by the synthetic geopolymer. The energy consumption and carbon emissions of using this geopolymer for solidifying the CSS are much lower than those of using cement/MSWI by-products.
