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.展开更多

A thermodynamic equilibrium investigation using the Fact Sage software was performed to compare the experimental results. The results indicate that the volatility of the target metals was enhanced as the chlorine concentration increased. Inorganic-Cl influenced the volatilization of heavy metals in the order of Pb 〉 Zn 〉 Cr 〉 Cu 〉 Mn 〉 Ni. However, the effects of organic-Cl on the volatility of Mn, Pb and Cu were greater than the effects on Zn, Cr and Ni.With increasing combustion temperature, the presence of organic-Cl（PVC） and inorganic-Cl（NaCl） improved the transfer of Pb and Zn from bottom ash to fly ash or fuse gas. However,the presence of chloride had no obvious influence on Mn, Cu and Ni. Increased retention time could increase the volatilization rate of heavy metals; however, this effect was insignificant. During the incineration process, Pb readily formed Pb SiO4 and remained in the bottom ash. Different Pb compounds, primarily the volatile PbCl2, were found in the gas phase after the addition of NaCl; the dominant Pb compounds in the gas phase after the addition of PVC were PbCl2, Pb（ClO4）2and Pb Cl2O4.展开更多
