Abstract
With the increase in municipal solid waste incineration, fly ash, its heavy metal content, and its disposal methods have attracted wide attention. This work investigates if the alkali-activated mineral slag gel solidification of heavy metals in fly ash has positive significance in promoting the harmless treatment of fly ash. This study obtained the optimal solidification conditions of fly ash from a grate incinerator, which are mineral slag content of 40%, activator content of 4%, and water content of 27.5%. Furthermore, the stability of synthesized calcium chloroaluminate is systematically investigated. The solidification effect of calcium chloroaluminate on Pb at pH = 10–13 was conducted at ambient temperatures from 15 °C to 35 °C to simulate the solidification environment of fly ash. The results show that the adsorption capacity of calcium chloroaluminate to Pb in a strongly alkaline environment is 0.1–3.5 mg/g. Pb is mainly solidified as lead-acid calcium chloroaluminate. This work provides a novel treatment strategy for fly ash.
