垃圾焚烧中硫化合物对重金属Pb迁移分布影响

采用管式炉和模拟垃圾对垃圾焚烧中硫化合物(包括S、Na2S、Na2SO3、Na2SO4)、焚烧温度、重金属初始加入浓度以及焚烧停留时间对Pb迁移分布的影响进行了研究.使用ICP-AES分析技术(美国EPA消解方法)对重金属浓度进行测量.结果表明,垃圾焚烧中4种硫化合物的加入均使得Pb在底渣中的分布比例比未加入硫化合物时的分布比例降低.Pb在底渣中的分布比例随加入S和Na2S含量的增加而减少,相应地在飞灰中的分布随S和Na2S加入量的增加而增加,而Pb的迁移分布比例受Na2SO3和Na2SO4含量变化的影响不显著.温度的升高使得Pb向飞灰中的分布比例逐渐增加,整个试验温度范围内Pb在烟气中的分布均为0.初始浓度的增加也使Pb在底渣中的分布比例逐渐升高,飞灰中的分布比例逐渐下降.停留时间的增加会使得Pb在底渣中的分布比例降低,相应地在飞灰中的分布比例会增加.

Effects of sulfur compounds on Pb partitioning in a simulated MSW incinerator

The effect of sulfur compounds (including sulfur, sulfide, sulfite and sulfate), initial concentration of heavy metal and operating conditions on Pb emission in MSW incineration were investigated using a simulated tubular furnace with the simulated MSW. Operating conditions of the experiment included combustion chamber temperature and MSW residence time. The concentration of Pb was measured by ICP-AES after the digesting of samples including bottom ash, fly ash and flue gas according to related USEPA methods. The results indicated that all 4 sulfur compounds tended to increase Pb partitioning in fly ash and decrease Pb partitioning in bottom ash. The increasing of S and Na₂S content tended to decrease Pb partitioning in bottom ash, meanwhile, the content of Na₂SO₃ and Na₂SO₄ have no significant effects on Pb partitioning. Incineration temperature showed a significant effect on Pb volatilization, and thus the Pb partitioning in fly ash increasing along with temperature went upwards. Pb did not partition in flue gas during the whole experimental temperature range. Furthermore, the effect of initial concentration of heavy metal had a significant influence on Pb partitioning. The more initial concentration of Pb was, the more Pb partitioned in bottom ash. MSW residence time was also investigated. The longer MSW residence time was, the less Pb partitioned in bottom ash.
