The large exothermic energy can be used as an extremely efficient energy for purifying ores for some metals, or for the detoxifying of the MSWI fly ash. Typical thermite reaction (a type of aluminothermic reaction) is one in which aluminum metal is oxidized by an oxide of another metal, most commonly iron oxide. These thermite reactants can be provided with by industrial waste streams containing aluminum and related oxides, thus giving an excellent opportunity to develop effective thermite from wastes for energy. Accordingly, this study tried to develop thermites from wastes (referred to as wastes-derived-thermite, WDTs) , and further to evaluate the feasibility of treating the MSWI fly ash by use of the WDTs. In this study, except for aluminum scrap, five types of candidate dust and sludge were primarily screened based on the analysis of the waste compositions and possible thermite reactions estimated, these candidate wastes including aluminum scrap/dross, converter sludge from steel making plants (Convert-sludge), printed circuit board sludge (PCB-sludge), hot rolling wet dust (HR-dust) and electric arc furnace dust (EAF dust) from steel making plants, and sludge from cotton mill industry wastewater treatment plants (referred to as fabric dyeing sludge, FD-sludge). The proper formula for the WDTs were to be generated on the evaluation of the performance criteria such as the effective energy generated by the unit WDT, the sustainability of the reaction, and the mobility of heavy metals during the reaction. Laboratory testing results showed that proper formula (i.e., iron oxide containing waste : aluminum scrap, wt%) generated for the five tested wastes, in the increasing order of the dust/sludge percentage were EAF dust (67wt.%), converter sludge (72wt.%), FD-sludge (72wt.%), HR-sludge (75wt.%), and PCB-sludge (82wt%), indicating the reactive oxides decreased in as the weight percentage for dust/sludge increased. WDT from PCB-sludge outperformed the other WDTs in melting 0-29.1wt% MSWI fly ash (reaching a melting temperature ranging from 2286 to 1168℃). The larger treating capacity for MSWI fly ash showed that high thermite energy released by the copper oxide in the plating sludge contributed to the melting process. WDT from converter sludge also showed a 0-21.5 wt% treating capacity for MSWI fly ash (reaching a melting temperature ranging from 2047 to 1263℃). The hot-rolling sludge showed less treating capacity for MSWI fly ash (0-16.3wt%, with temperature reaching 1766 to 1198℃). The results of the TCLP test for all the recovered slags generated form the melting process of WDTs and fly ash showed that the leaching concentrations of target metals were all in compliance with the USEPA's regulatory threshoulds, ensuring the safety of the slag. The common components identified by the XRD techniques included Al2O3, Fe, CaAl4O7, and SiO2 for all tested WDTs except for WDT from PCB-sludge in which Cu was identified. This results reported here suggest that it is feasible to generate aluminothermic thermite from aluminum scrap/dross and wastes containing iron oxide, copper oxide, and/or other related oxides. These WDTs can not only recover slag and alloy by thermite reactions, but also be used as fuel in detoxifying MSWI fly ash by melting process, showing a promising energy efficient, recycling-beneficial alternative. |
