Analysis of the heavy metals (As, Pb, Cu, Zn) by leaching and sequential extraction procedure from a municipal solid waste incinerator fly ash co-processing cement kiln plant.

Abstract

The municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash has been a major problem with the rapid development of the cities in China. And the cement rotary kiln co-processing technique is accepted as an effective method to dispose detrimental heavy metals in MSWI fly ash. This study focused on presented the total leaching content and the morphological distribution of the heavy metals in cement solid samples doped with MSWI fly ash. These samples were collected from a MSWI fly ash co-processing cement rotary kiln plant. The leaching test and the sequential extraction procedure were adopted to measure the migration characteristic of As, Pb, Cu, and Zn. In addition, the leachability of clinker samples under different simulated environmental conditions was also detected to analyze the security of the cement product doped with MSWI fly ash. This work demonstrates the feasibility of the cement rotary kiln MSWI fly ash co-processing technique and provides a scientific guidance to related plant.
