利用废弃物衍生燃料的热化学处理法制富含氢气合成气

为了探讨利用热化学方式从城市垃圾中制取富含氢气合成气过程的要素影响,解析氢气发生特性及其与主要影响要素之间的关系。在分析了城市生活垃圾组分特性的基础上,将其加工成组分均一的废弃物衍生燃料(refuse derived fuel,RDF),并在700、800和900℃等3个温度条件下,分别开展了RDF的热解、气化及水蒸汽气化等实验。研究表明,RDF的加工不但可有效降低垃圾含水率,还可将垃圾热值提高近1倍。温度和添加水蒸汽是从RDF中制取富含氢气合成气过程中的关键影响要素。其中,温度对氢气生成起到至关重要的决定作用,温度的提高对促进H2浓度的提高有利,同时,在气化过程中添加水蒸汽,可有效促进CO和H2等有价气体组分生成。在900℃的高温水蒸汽气化处理过程中,可获得H2浓度最高为34.13%的合成气。另外,800℃热解过程所产生的合成气热值最高,达到14 509 kJ/Nm3。     

水泥窑协同处置垃圾衍生燃料对烟气污染物排放及熟料品质的影响

水泥窑协同处置垃圾衍生燃料(RDF)可以实现垃圾资源化利用,但需确保不会造成烟气污染物排放超标或使水泥熟料品质受影响。研究了国内某水泥厂新型干法水泥窑协同处置RDF前后烟气污染物排放及水泥熟料品质变化的情况。结果表明,水泥窑协同处置RDF的烟气中SO_2、NO_x、NH_3、HCl和HF的排放均符合《水泥工业大气污染物排放标准》(GB 4915—2013)。重金属与二噁英的含量相比于协同处置RDF前虽略有升高,但仍低于《水泥窑协同处置固体废物污染物控制标准》(GB 30485—2013)的排放限值。协同处置RDF基本不影响水泥熟料的矿物组成,抗折强度和抗压强度相比掺加RDF前有所提高,并且符合《通用硅酸盐水泥》(GB 175—2007)的中普通硅酸盐水泥的52.5R强度等级要求,安定性合格率提高至100.0%。协同处置RDF的水泥熟料中Cu、Cd、Cr、Pb、As、Ni的浸出浓度远小于《水泥窑协同处置固体废物技术规范》(GB 30760—2014)的标准限值。总之,水泥窑掺烧RDF对烟气污染物排放和熟料品质的影响较小,甚至可以提高水泥熟料的某些品质。

Trace metal emissions from co-combustion of refuse derived and packaging derived fuels in a circulating fluidized bed boiler

Energy recovery from refuse derived fuels (RDF) and packaging derived fuels (PDF) is one option in integrated waste management. Nine RDF and PDF co-combustion tests with peat and coal in a circulating fluidized bed boiler were carried out in this work. Heavy metal emissions in flue gas and fly ash were measured. Multivariate data analyses were used to find out the most important parameters affecting metal emissions in the flue gas.

The results showed that total heavy metal emissions were low. Although RDF and PDF had more heavy metals than peat and coal, the multivariate data analysis showed that an increase of the RDF or PDF share in the fuel mixture up to 20% did not correlate directly with the metal emissions in the flue gas. Distribution of Cd, Cu, Zn and Sn between flue gas and fly ash correlated with each other. Injection of limestone to bind sulphur and chlorine did not have a significant effect on heavy metal emissions in the flue gas. Heavy metals concentrated on the fly ash, but all fly ashes passed the EPA-TCLP tests.     

Inhalation health effects of fine particles from the co-combustion of coal and refuse derived fuel

This paper is concerned with health effects from the inhalation of particulate matter (PM) emitted from the combustion of coal, and from the co-combustion of refuse derived fuel (RDF) and pulverized coal mixtures, under both normal and low NO_x conditions. Specific issues focus on whether the addition of RDF to coal has an effect on PM toxicity, and whether the application of staged combustion (for low NO_x) may also be a factor in this regard.

Ash particles were sampled and collected from a pilot scale combustion unit and then re-suspended and diluted to concentrations of 1000 μg/m³. These particles were inhaled by mice, which were held in a nose-only exposure configuration. Exposure tests were for 1 h per day, and involved three sets (eight mice per set) of mice. These three sets were exposed over 8, 16, and 24 consecutive days, respectively. Pathological lung damage was measured in terms of increases in lung permeability.

Results show that the re-suspended coal/RDF ash appeared to cause very different effects on lung permeability than did coal ash alone. In addition, it was also shown that a “snapshot” of lung properties after a fixed number of daily 1-h exposures, can be misleading, since apparent repair mechanisms cause lung properties to change over a period of time. For the coal/RDF, the greatest lung damage (in terms of lung permeability increase) occurred at the short exposure period of 8 days, and thereafter appeared to be gradually repaired. Ash from staged (low NO_x) combustion of coal/RDF appeared to cause greater lung injury than that from unstaged (high NO_x) coal/RDF combustion, although the temporal behavior and (apparent) repair processes in each case were similar. In contrast to this, coal ash alone showed a slight decrease of lung permeability after 1 and 3 days, and this disappeared after 12 days. These observations are interpreted in the light of mechanisms proposed in the literature. The results all suggest that the composition of particles actually inhaled is important in determining lung injury. Particle size segregated leachability measurements showed that water soluble sulfur, zinc, and vanadium, but not iron, were present in the coal/RDF ash particles, which caused lung permeabilities to increase. However, the differences in health effects between unstaged and staged coal/RDF combustion could not be attributed to variations in pH values of the leachate.     

pH和负压对生活垃圾焚烧厂渗沥液蒸发处理的影响

生活垃圾焚烧厂贮坑渗沥液含有弱电解质类的挥发性污染物,pH和压强是影响其蒸发过程中气液相分布的主要因素,实验研究了蒸发操作压强及渗沥液初始pH对蒸发冷凝液中污染物分配的影响.结果表明,操作压强16～39kPa对冷凝液的组成基本没有影响;而pH的变化则改变了挥发性弱电解质类污染物在渗沥液中的存在形态,进而显著地改变了其在冷凝液中的分配情况.当渗沥液的初始pH为5时,冷凝液主要成份为挥发性有机酸和低碳醇类物质,不含氨氮;pH＞10时,冷凝液中挥发性有机酸减少,氨氮增加.渗沥液原液经一级蒸发可显著改善其可处理性.
