Preparation and Microstructure of Green Ceramsite Made from Sewage Sludge

A pilot study was conducted to produce high performance green ceramsite by using sewage sludge, fly ash and silt. According to the theory of Riley, the proportions of raw materials were chosen to perform the sintering experiments. Thereby, the optimum proportion of sludge, fly ash and silt and sintering parameters were determined. The microstructure of the optimized mixture and the leaching of heavy metal elements were also analyzed. The lab testing results show that sintering parameters have significant impact on the performance of ceramsite. For solid waste ceramsite with high loss of ignition, inadequate pre-burning process lowers the strength and increases the water absorption. Low water absorption can be achieved by the enameled surface and closed pore structure. The high performance green ceramsite has the density grade of 700, water absorption of 6% and compressive strength of 6.6 MPa. The ceramsite is mainly composed of cristobalite and mullite. The leaching of heavy metal elements from the solid waste ceramsite are lower than the limits required by the national standard. This study shows that the utilization of solid waste ceramsite as the light Weight aggregate is feasible and safe.

焙烧温度对污泥陶粒烧胀过程及结构特征的影响

按质量比为m(污泥)∶m(盐渍土)∶m(蒙脱土)=75∶20∶5的配比,将料球分别烧至1000℃、1050℃、1100℃和1150℃,研究了焙烧温度对污泥陶粒烧胀过程和结构特征的影响。结果表明,1100℃时陶粒的主晶相是石英、蓝晶石和钙长石,1150℃时陶粒的主晶相是莫来石、石英和蓝晶石。莫来石是由蓝晶石转化而来,在高温时形成富硅铝和富钙的液相以及二液分相现象,最后生成莫来石、玻璃体和钙长石。陶粒烧胀的原因是在还原气氛下发生铁碳反应。陶粒内部形成玻璃体为主体,中间有莫来石增强相的结构,陶粒断面形成致密结构和均匀的封闭孔。

污泥制陶粒技术可行性分析与烧结机理研究

研究了污泥烧结陶粒轻骨料的建材性能,分析了污泥制陶粒轻骨料的技术可行性和存在的难题,并从烧结过程的结构形态变化和晶体相反应机理角度讨论了可行的解决办法.结果表明,当烧结温度为1050℃,烧结时间为30min时,烧结体的内部产生熔融液相导致烧结体收缩致密化,建材性能显著提高,但抗压强度仍达不到建材标准要求.其主要原因是污泥中的有机物含量较高,烧结过程中有机物的挥发导致烧结体内部产生较大孔隙,使产品开裂.污泥烧结体中的主要晶体相是石英、钙黄长石、钙镁磷酸盐和磷酸铝,污泥中磷的含量很高,因此,可添加高铝无机材料促进钙镁磷酸盐和磷酸铝高强晶体相的形成,提高烧结体抗压强度,经调质后利用污泥烧结陶粒轻骨料技术可行.

粉煤灰与污泥制备陶粒工艺研究

以粉煤灰和污水处理厂剩余污泥为主要原料,开展了粉煤灰污泥陶粒的制备工艺研究。利用正交试验研究了材料配比、预热时间、预热温度、烧结时间、烧结温度等因素对陶粒制备工艺及性能的影响。结果表明:无论是制备建筑骨料还是水处理滤料,烧结温度及配方比例的控制是最重要的因素。如果用于建筑骨料,建议配方中各组分质量分数为粉煤灰70%,污泥20%,黏土及煤粉10%,控制预热温度450℃,预热时间15min,烧结温度1 150℃,烧结时间20min;如果用于水处理滤料,建议配方中各组分质量分数为粉煤灰45%,污泥45%,黏土及煤粉10%,预热温度400℃,预热时间15min,烧结温度1 050℃左右,烧结时间25min。
