Hydration behaviour of a lime-pozzolan cement containing MSW incinerator fly ash

A lime-pozzolan cement was used to make pastes containing different quantities of MSW fly ash. After setting, the pastes were cured in water at room temperature from 1 h to 260 days. The hydration characteristics and the nature of the hydration products of the various pastes were studied by simultaneous TG/DSC thermal analysis and X-ray diffractometry. The MSW fly ash was found to induce a slowing of the hydration process in lime-pozzolan pastes, and after some days an evident acceleration of hydration reactions occurred. Sulphate and chloride in the MSW fly ash yield hydration products forming a cementitious matrix.The author is grateful to D. Calabrese for assistance with the thermal and XRD analyses.     

Incorporating the learning effect into data envelopment analysis to measure MSW recycling performance

The effect of organizational learning, which results in continuous improvement of organizational performance over time, has been widely discussed. The cumulative learning effect may form as a source of intellectual capital. Thus far, the static data envelopment analysis (DEA) model has not been used to examine the longitudinal learning effect. Therefore, a two-stage approach is developed together with the estimation of a latent learning effect using time-series data; the estimated learning effect is then used as an input in the DEA Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) model. The proposed DEA SBM model can be used to investigate the efficiency of the organizational learning effect of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) recycling systems.     

氯对苯氧化过程影响机制的实验研究

针对高含氯垃圾气化-燃烧工艺中焦油的氧化裂解过程,利用均相管流反应器配合傅里叶红外光谱仪,以C_6H_6为焦油模型化合物,对比研究了氯参与前后,裂解产物组成和氧化完全程度随温度和当量比的变化,探索了氯对C_6H_6氧化裂解过程的影响机制。结果表明,低温下氯对C_6H_6的氧化有明显的激发作用,但由于氯对OH的消耗,对裂解产物进一步转化为完全氧化产物CO_2又存在抑制作用。此外,在高温低当量比条件下氯对聚合反应也有促进作用。因此,在工程应用中,高含氯垃圾气化产物的燃烧可适应更低的温度,但应避免高温低当量比反应环境的形成以避免聚合产物。此外,还应控制垃圾原料中的氯元素比例,以保障氧化反应的充分进行。     

垃圾焚烧炉飞灰熔融特性及重金属的分布

对垃圾焚烧炉飞灰进行了差热分析及熔融实验,探讨了不同熔融温度对试样的灼烧减量及重金属分布特性的影响。结果表明,飞灰试样在1132℃时熔融,在1252℃～1290℃发生二次熔融。灼烧减量在1200℃达到最低值27.5％; Cr、Ni、Cu在熔融体中的固溶率随着沸点的升高而依次升高。重金属Pb、Cd、As、Hg挥发率均超过95％,挥发性依次为Pb>Cd>As>Hg;飞灰中Zn的氧化物熔融后转化为Zn2SiO4、ZnSiO3和ZnAl2O4等不易挥发的化合物,且Zn在1200℃时挥发率最低仅有66.7％。

Study of the composition and gas-phase release characteristics of salt material extracted from MSW ash particles using STA

The ash material generated from the MSW incineration contains large amounts of alkali metals, heavy metals, chlorine and sulfur mainly deposited as inorganic salts and/or oxides on the surface of the Si-rich ash particles. In this work, the composition and gas-phase release characteristics of salt material extracted from MSW ash particles using a six-stage leaching process is studied using simultaneous thermal analysis (STA). The produced results provide useful information regarding the composition of the salt material and its melting behavior that is considered to play an important role to deposition and corrosion problems at MSW incinerators. The results may be used to model the deposition process and to the better understanding of the corrosion process during MSW incineration.     

流化床垃圾焚烧过程受热面烧结积灰的生长特性

使用扫描电子显微镜、能谱、X射线衍射等分析手段，对流化床垃圾焚烧炉过热器的烧结积灰内部各部分的微观结构和成分组成进行研究。结果表明，积灰中富含钙和硫，主要的矿物成分是CaSO4。烧结积灰沿生长方向可分为根部和生长段，根部中元素钙和氯的质量分数高于生长段，而硅和铝的质量分数明显小于生长段，根部内层碱金属钠、钾的质量分数较高，含碳量也很高。积灰根部的结构较生长段致密，密实的根部内层主要是凝结沉积以及亚微小颗粒热迁移共同作用形成的，过渡层和生长段的形成主要是惯性沉积和气固高温反应共同作用下长时间烧结的结果，熔融相和化学反应的共同作用是烧结积灰生成生长的主要动力。     

Anaerobic bioconversion of municipal solid wastes using a novel high-solids reactor design

Novel, laboratory-scale, high-solids reactors operated under mesophilic conditions were used to study the anaerobic fermentation of processed municipal solid waste (MSW) to methane. Product gas rate data were determined for organic loading rates ranging from 2.99–18.46 g of volatile solids (VS) per liter (L) per day (d). The data represent the anaerobic fermentation at high-solids levels within the reactor of 21–32%, while feeding a refuse-derived fuel (RDF)/MSW feedstock supplemented with a vitamin/mineral/nutrient solution. The average biogas yield was 0.59 L biogas/g VS added to the reactor system/d. The average methane composition of the biogas produced was 57.2%. The data indicate a linear relationship of increasing total biogas production with increasing organic loading rate to the process. The maximum organic loading rate obtainable with high-solids anaerobic digestion is in the range of 18–20 g VS/L·d to obtain 80% or greater bioconversion for the RDF/MSW feedstock. This loading rate is approximately four to six times greater than that which can be obtained with comparable low-solids anaerobic bioreactor technology.
