THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 870:161929. [PMID: 36736397 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash usually needs to undergo dechlorination or heavy metal stabilization pretreatment for further treatment, recycling or disposal. In this paper, the removal effect of chlorine in fly ash by water washing, lactic acid, citric acid and microwave treatment was studied, and XANES was used to analyze chlorine chemical form in fly ash. In addition, the heavy metals in fly ash were also checked. The results indicated that double washing and triple washing could remove 88.0 % and 95.5 % of chlorine from fly ash respectively. The "double water washing + microwave/organic acid" could remove about 96.6 % of chlorine, and 42.9 % and 47.2 % of insoluble chloride respectively. The microwave treatment could maximize the stabilization of heavy metals with a BI value of 39.1 %, 0.11 %, 1.65 %, 15.4 % and 3.98 % for Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn. The elution of heavy metals by citric acid was obvious. "Double water washing + citric acid" removed 87.0 % of Cd, 17.2 % of Cr, 11.9 % of Cu, 39.6 % of Pb and 43.6 % of Zn, but the environmental risk of Cu and Cr increased about 2-3 % after the treatment. The results of this study provide guidance for the pretreatment of fly ash before resource utilization.

Matsumoto H, Takaoka M. The application of multiple advanced chloride removal methods to synthesized Friedel's salt and municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2022; 141:27-34. [PMID: 35091317 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2022.01.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2021] [Revised: 01/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
To recycle municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash as a cement raw material, it is important to reduce the Cl concentration in the ash. However, the reduction of chlorides by washing only has limited success due to the presence of insoluble Friedel's salt (FS) in the ash. Although some studies on the decomposition of FS and the application of advanced chloride removal methods to bottom ash have been reported, few studies have compared the effects of different removal methods. Moreover, due to the complex ash composition, it is also necessary to compare the effects on different ashes and pure FS. Therefore, in this study, we applied five advanced chloride removal methods to synthesized FS and two types of bottom ash (FS-High and FS-Low), and compared the effects. For both FS and bottom ash, all methods promoted chloride dissolution more than washing only. For FS, aging was the most effective method, with a Cl removal ratio of 73%. In contrast, for ash FS-High, aging increased the Cl removal ratio to 80% and decreased the Cl content to 2800 mg/kg. The FS-derived peak observed in an X-ray diffraction analysis disappeared following aging. For ash FS-Low, acid washing increased the Cl removal ratio to 64% and decreased the Cl content to 1800 mg/kg. The treatment with the highest removal ratio in each ash had the lowest pH. There was a significant correlation between pH and the Cl removal effect. The Cl remaining after the application of the methods was likely associated with Na.

Abstract
As far as improvement of chlorine removal from fly ash by lactic acid fermentation broth (LAFB) was concerned, it is particularly important to explore the instinct mechanism and understand how leaching protocols (i.e. lactic acid addition amount and timing) affect the dechlorination efficiency. Results revealed that the WLL leaching protocol yielded the highest dechlorination efficiency (i.e. removed 98.7% of the total chlorine content of fly ash). The undissolved chlorine in fly ash residue might wrap inside the crystal structure of CaAlSiO4(OH). Given that the chlorine removal from fly ash might prohibit by the newly formed calcium salt precipitation, exclusively increase the addition amount of LAFB (i.e. LLL protocol) did not necessarily stimulate the dechlorination efficiency. Conversely, it might accelerate the fly ash mass reduction (compared with WLL protocol), resulting in a high chlorine content in fly ash residue. Therefore, instead of increasing lactic acid strength, reducing the thickness of the calcium salt precipitation layer or breaking the crystal structure of CaAlSiO4(OH) during the leaching process was suggested for efficient fly ash dechlorination.

Abstract
The Washing-Calcination-Changing with Bottom Ash (WCCB) system, effective at reducing chloride, was proposed to treat fly ash (FA) from a municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) before recycling FA in cement kiln as raw material. This study analyzed the behavior of heavy metals in four types of FA during WCCB treatment via Tessier and X-ray absorption fine structure (XANES) method. One FA was from the bag filter of a typical MSWI in Beijing, China (CFA), and the other three were from Japan (RFA, CaFA, and NaFA). All the metals were reduced especially Pb, Cd, and Hg (38.4-82.4%, 21.8-34.7%, and 100%, respectively). Besides Cr almost all heavy metals were stabilized according to Tessier analysis. Cr should be given more attention in WCCB as the formation of exchangeable Cr in the final residue. XANES result indicated that PbCl2 could be the main species of Pb in FA, while CaFA contains some PbO. The treated FAs contain PbCO3 and PbO besides PbCl2. The Tessier results of Ni, Pb, Cd, Cr, and Cu showed that NaFA was better at heavy metal stabilization than the other FA, so NaHCO3 is a more suitable neutralizer in WCCB.

Abstract
Municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration fly ash (IFA) can be potentially reused as a substitute for some raw materials, but treatment for detoxification is indispensable owing to high contents of heavy metals in fly ash. In the present work, due to excessive leaching concentration of lead (Pb), a moderate thermal treatment with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) addition was employed to stabilize Pb in IFA. The moderate thermal treatment was performed under relatively low temperature ranging from 300 to 500°C and at retention time from 1 to 3 h with NaOH addition in a range of 1 to 9%. Leaching results showed that leaching concentrations of Pb in IFA leachates decreased below the standard for hazardous waste identification (5 mg/L) in China under all treatment scenarios. With the increase of temperature, retention time and the amount of NaOH, the concentration of Pb were further suppressed in IFA leachates. Especially, at 500°C for 3 h with 9% NaOH addition, the concentration of Pb dropped to 0.18 mg/L, which was below the standard for sanitary landfill (0.25 mg/L) in China. In thermal process, needle-like crystallites melted to form granules and clumps with compacter structure and less pores. After the thermal treatment, water-soluble and exchangeable fractions of Pb significantly decreased. Therefore, the thermal treatment coupled with NaOH could be applied to realize the environmentally sound management of MSW IFA.

Abstract
Water washing is widely used as the pretreatment method to treat municipal solid waste incineration fly ash, which facilitates the further solidification/stabilization treatment or resource recovery of the fly ash. The wastewater generated during the washing process is a kind of hydrosaline solution, usually containing high concentrations of alkali chlorides and sulphates, which cause serious pollution to environment. However, these salts can be recycled as resources instead of discharge. This paper explored an effective and practical recovery method to separate sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride salts individually from the hydrosaline water. In laboratory experiments, a simulating hydrosaline solution was prepared according to composition of the waste washing water. First, in the three-step evaporation-crystallization process, pure sodium chloride and solid mixture of sodium and potassium chlorides were obtained separately, and the remaining solution contained potassium and calcium chlorides (solution A). And then, the solid mixture was fully dissolved into water (solution B obtained). Finally, ethanol was added into solutions A and B to change the solubility of sodium, potassium, and calcium chlorides within the mixed solvent of water and ethanol. During the ethanol-adding precipitation process, each salt was separated individually, and the purity of the raw production in laboratory experiments reached about 90%. The ethanol can be recycled by distillation and reused as the solvent. Therefore, this technology may bring both environmental and economic benefits.

Abstract
A water extraction process can remove the soluble salts present in municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) fly ash, which will help to increase the stability of the synthetic materials produced from the MSWI fly ash. A milling process can be used to stabilize the heavy metals found in the extracted MSWI fly ash (EA) leading to the formation of a non-hazardous material. This milled extracted MSWI fly ash (MEA) was added to an ordinary Portland cement (OPC) paste to induce pozzolanic reactions. The experimental parameters included the milling time (96h), water to binder ratios (0.38, 0.45, and 0.55), and curing time (1, 3, 7 and 28 days). The analysis procedures included inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP/AES), BET, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging. The results of the analyses indicate that the milling process helped to stabilize the heavy metals in the MEA, with an increase in the specific surface area of about 50times over that of OPC. The addition of the MEA to the OPC paste decreased the amount of Ca(OH)2 and led to the generation of calcium-silicate-hydrates (C-S-H) which in turned increased the amount of gel pores and middle sized pores in the cement. Furthermore, a comparison shows an increase in the early and later strength over that of OPC paste without the addition of the milled extracted ash. In other words, the milling process could stabilize the heavy metals in the MEA and had an activating effect on the MEA, allowing it to partly substitute OPC in OPC paste.

Abstract
Calcination is the second step in a washing-calcination-conversion system in which treated municipal solid waste incinerator fly ash and bottom ash can be reused as raw material in the cement industry and can decompose or stabilize hazardous compounds, reduce residue amounts, and alter residue characteristics. In this research, only fly ash is discussed. Chloride reduction is important if treated fly ash is to be reused in cement; however, the relationship between washed fly ash properties and chloride reduction by calcination is not well understood. This study used washed residues of three types of fly ash-raw fly ash (RFA) from the boiler or economizer of an incineration system, fly ash collected in a bag filter injected with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) for acid removal (CaFA), and fly ash collected in a bag filter injected with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) for acid removal (NaFA)-in calcination experiments with varying temperature (400-1100 degrees C) and atmosphere (100% nitrogen [N2] at 25 mL/min or 10% oxygen [O2] [90% N2] at fluxes of 25, 50, and 75 mL/min). From the perspective of chloride reduction, heating to 1000 degrees C with 1-hr heating time, 1-hr holding time, and an atmosphere of 10% O2/90% N2 was most suitable for calcination. Under these conditions, chloride levels were reduced by 91, 52, and 96% in washed residues of RFA, CaFA, and NaFA, respectively. Among the washed residues, the weight of the washed residue of NaFA decreased the most.

Abstract
Nowadays, ferrous materials are usually recovered from Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) bottom ash by magnetic separation. To our knowledge, such a physical technique has not been applied so far to other MSWI residues. This study focuses thus on the applicability of magnetic separation on boiler fly ashes (BFA). Different types of magnet are used to extract the magnetic particles. We investigate the magnetic particle composition, as well as their leaching behaviour (EN 12457-1 leaching test). The magnetic particles present higher Cr, Fe, Mn and Ni concentration than the non-magnetic (NM) fraction. Magnetic separation does not improve the leachability of the NM fraction. To approximate industrial conditions, magnetic separation is also applied to BFA mixed with water by using a pilot. BFA magnetic separation is economically evaluated. This study globally shows that it is possible to extract some magnetic particles from MSWI boiler fly ashes. However, the magnetic particles only represent from 23 to 120 g/kg of the BFA and, though they are enriched in Fe, are composed of similar elements to the raw ashes. The industrial application of magnetic separation would only be profitable if large amounts of ashes were treated (more than 15 kt/y), and the process should be ideally completed by other recovery methods or advanced treatments.

Abstract
Chloride in fly ash from municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) is one of the obstructive substances in recycling fly ash as building materials. As a result, we have to understand the behavior of chlorides in recycling process, such as washing. In this study, we used X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to study the chloride behavior in washed residue of raw fly ash (RFA). We found that a combination of XRD and XANES, which is to use XRD to identify the situation of some compounds first and then process XANES data, was an effective way to explain the chlorides behavior in washing process. Approximately 15% of the chlorine in RFA was in the form of NaCl, 10% was in the form of KCl, 51% was CaCl(2), and the remainder was in the form of Friedel's salt. In washing experiments not only the mole percentage but also the amount of soluble chlorides including NaCl, KCl and CaCl(2) decreases quickly with the increase of liquid to solid (L/S) ratio or washing frequency. However, those of insoluble chlorides decrease slower. Moreover, Friedel's salt and its related compound (11CaO.7Al(2)O(3).CaCl(2)) were reliable standards for the insoluble chlorides in RFA, which are strongly related to CaCl(2). Washing of RFA promoted the release of insoluble chlorides, most of which were in the form of CaCl(2).
