Abstract
Municipal sludge is a solid waste material, and resource utilization is the optimal way to dispose of this material. The amount of municipal sludge produced in China is large, and it can be used in the preparation of ceramsite. The content of Al2O3 in drinking water treatment sludge is significantly higher than that in wastewater treatment sludge, while the content of K2O, Na2O and MgO in the two kinds of sludge is similar. When sludge is used to prepare ceramsite, the amount of sludge in most raw materials for ceramsite is less than 50%. The bulk density of the prepared sludge ceramsite is less than 1000 kg m−3, and the highest water absorption rate is close to 40%. The leaching content of heavy metals in municipal sludge-based ceramsite is within the standard health safety limit, and heavy metals are better stabilized. The fitting effect of the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation of the dynamic adsorption of sludge ceramsite is obviously better than that of the pseudo-first-order kinetic equation. Sludge ceramsite used in bio-filter media and constructed wetland (CW) substrates is good able to purify wastewater. In the future, the preparation method of municipal sludge ceramsite and purification research of CW substrates based on sludge ceramsite need to be further improved.
