摘要
Oxides of silicon, aluminium and calcium are normally dominant minerals during municipal solid waste(MSW)combustion. In flue gas, Si O2, Al2O3 and Ca O all act as sorbents capturing heavy metals(and semi-volatile organics). To further understand the effect of sorbents during MSW combustion, the effects of Si O2, Al2O3 and Ca O on Cu partitioning were experimentally investigated by the combustion of synthetic MSW in a tubular furnace and their effects on Cu speciation were studied by thermodynamic equilibrium calculations using Chem Kin software. The experiments show that Ca O has the highest Cu sorption efficiency at 900 °C, followed by Al2O3 and Si O2. Thermodynamic equilibrium calculations show that for Cu the addition of Si O2 and Al2O3reduces the amount of liquid Cu Cl, which is more volatile. However, the addition of Ca O has little influence on chemical sorption of Cu, indicating that the sorption of Ca O is resulted from physical sorption.
