TY - CONF A1 - Adam, Christian A1 - Krüger, Oliver T1 - Das Potential deutscher Klärschlammaschen für die Werkstoffrückgewinnung N2 - Über den derzeitigen und zukünftigen Umgang mit Klärschlamm wird in Deutschland seit Jahren kontrovers diskutiert. Zum einen enthalten kommunale Klärschlamme Nährstoffe, die sinnvoller Weise wieder in die landwirtschaftliche Nahrungsmittelproduktion eingebracht werden sollten. In diesem Zusammenhang steht Phosphor im Vordergrund, da diese Ressource begrenzt ist und deren zukünftig zu erwartende Knappheit neben der geringen Anzahl an Exportländern für Rohphosphate zu unberechenbaren Preissprüngen am Weltmarkt führen können. Zum anderen stellt Klärschlamm die Schadstoffsenke in der Abwasserreinigung dar, was den direkten landwirtschaftlichen Einsatz dieses Abfalls bedenklich macht. Zwar nahm die Konzentration der umweltrelevanten Schwermetalle in Klärschlämmen in den vergangenen Jahren deutlich ab (Wiechmann, Dienemann et al. 2012), die Belastung mit organischen Schadstoffen (z.B. Pharmazeutika, endokrin wirksame Substanzen, persistente organische Stoffe etc.) ist jedoch unüberschaubar und dürfte sich einem sinnvollen „Monitoring“ weitgehend entziehen. Das daraus resultierende Risiko für Mensch und Umwelt ist schwer einschätzbar und wird aufgrund der Beschaffenheit der diffusen Schadstoffquellen (z.B. Eintrag von Pharmaka und deren Metabolite über menschliche Ausscheidungen) unkalkulierbar bleiben. T2 - 3.

T1 - Phosphorus flows in German sewage sludge ashes and potential recovery technologies N2 - Phosphorus (P) is essential for all forms of life and cannot be substituted. It is one of the macro nutrients applied in form of mineral or organic fertilizers in agricultural crop production. Mineral P fertilizers are generally based on phosphate rock, a limited resource. Western Europe completely depends on imports as it has no own relevant phosphate mines. The most abundant phosphate deposits are located only in a few countries such as Morocco, China, South Africa and the United States of America. Furthermore, phosphate rock and as a consequence mineral P fertilizers are often contaminated with the toxic elements cadmium and uranium. In Order to substitute phosphate rock P-bearing waste streams are investigated for their potential to be recyded as fertilizers. Wastewater is one of the important P-bearing waste streams that were in the focus of research in the last 10 years. German wastewater is e.g. a carrier of approx. 70,000 t of phosphorus per year.

Europe completely depends on imports since there are no relevant phosphate rock deposits on the continent. Furthermore, phosphate rock is contaminated with heavy metals such as Cd and U that pollute the farmlands and pose environmental risks. Sewage sludge ash (SSA) might be a promising source for recycling fertilizer since it contains large amounts of P (up to 13 %). However, fertilizer from SSA has to comply with the respective ordinances, particularly the heavy metal limit values stated in the fertilizer ordinance, and requires sufficient P bioavailability. Thus, we conducted a complete survey of SSA from German mono-incineration facilities and developed a thermochemical treatment for SSA to reduce toxic elements and increase P bioavailability.

The spent fluorescent lamps were obtained at the collection yards of a public waste management company in Hamburg, Germany. An innovative systematic sampling method is utilized to collect six spent and eight corresponding new, off-the-shelf fluorescent lamp samples. The efficiency of several acid digestion methods for the determination of the elemental composition was studied and elemental mass fractions of K, Na, Y, Ca, Ba, Eu, Al, Pb, Mg, Hg, and P were measured. The study also finds aqua regia to be the best reagent for acid digestion. However, no significant difference in mercury distribution was found in the different phases of the new and spent fluorescent lamps.

Basierend auf diesen Ergebnissen soll nun die EU-Düngemittelverordnung (EG) 2003/2003 revidiert werden. Neben der Vielzahl von bestehenden und neuen Düngemitteltypen wie z.B. Phosphor-Recyclingdüngern soll die neue Verordnung auch organische Düngemittel und somit Matrices wie Klärschlamm, Gärrückstände und Wirtschaftsdünger regeln. Dies bedeutet, dass Parameter und Grenzwerte, die bisher in verschiedenen Verordnungen für verschiedene Matrices geregelt wurden, künftig gemeinschaftlich geregelt werden (Klärschlamm, Düngemittel) und weitere Matrices zusätzlich geregelt werden müssen (Phosphor-Recycling-Produkte, Produkte aus Klärschlamm/-aschen). Resultierend aus den aktuellen nationalen Entwicklungen insbesondere bezüglich des Ausstiegs aus der landwirtschaftlichen Klärschlammverwertung und im Hinblick auf die Bestrebungen hinsichtlich der Schonung natürlicher Ressourcen (z.B. ProgRess) ist zu erwarten, dass die Anzahl an Düngemitteln, die aus Recyclingmaterialien gewonnen werden, stark zunehmen wird. Recyclingdünger aus dem Stoffstrom Klärschlamm- bzw. Klärschlammasche werden zukünftig einen großen Anteil an diesen neuen Produkten ausmachen. Vor den angeführten Hintergründen ist es notwendig relevante und insbesondere bereits genormte Verfahren hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendbarkeit auf z.B. Klärschlamm/-aschen und daraus gewonnenen Recycling-Düngern sowie auf kommerzielle P-Düngemittel zu prüfen.

A1 - van Wasen, Sebastian A1 - Krüger, Oliver T1 - Recovery of rare earth elements - optimized elemental analysis of fluorescent lamp shredder waste N2 - Rare earth elements (REE) are a crucial component of fluorescence lamps. Several procedures have been developed to recovery these technological important elements. Nevertheless, actual REE recycling from fluorescence lamps is scarce so far (recovery rate of less than 1 %), with current recycling approaches concentrating on glass recovery. Since most recycling processes include several, also wet-chemical steps, a complete knowledge of the actual elemental composition of the respective mass flows is necessary for an efficient REE recovery. We tested seven different reagent mixtures for microwave-assisted digestion of fluorescent lamp shredder, including HF, HClO4, and H2O2. We determined the concentrations of 25 of the most relevant rare earth and other trace elements in the respective dilutions. Two independent digestions, one a mixture of perchlorid/nitric/hydrofluoric acid and the other aqua regia, showed the highest concentrations of 23 of these elements, excluding only Sn and Tb. The REE concentrations in the tested lamp shredder sample (stated in g/kg) were 10.2 (Y), 12.1 (La), 7.77 (Ce), 6.91 (Eu), 1.90 (Gd), and 4.11 (Tb).

Thus, incineration of the sludge and thus increasing amounts of sewage sludge ashes (SSA) are to be expected in the future. SSA contains considerable amounts of phosphorus (P) and technology metals that might be recovered as secondary raw materials. Since the EU for instance depends completely on the import of rock phosphate needed for fertilizer production, alternative sources for P are in order. Furthermore, rock phosphate is often contaminated with heavy metals like Cd and U, leading to health and environmental hazards. P recovered from SSA might diminish these problems. To determine the possible recovery potential of P and technology metals from SSA, we conducted a survey of German mono incineration facilities and analyzed the respective SSA for their elemental composition. More than 95% of the emerging SSA was monitored. Results indicate a P recovery potential of 18,000 t/a (up to 13% of the annual P demands for fertilizer production). The concentrations of Cd and U in SSA are one to two Orders of magnitude lower than in rock phosphate and could help to reduce possible hazards.

A1 - Adam, Christian T1 - Sewage sludge ash - A promising secondary phosphorus source for fertilizer production N2 - Sewage sludge incineration is extensively practiced in some European countries such as the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. A survey of German sewage sludge ash showed that the recovery potential is high, approx. 19,000 t of phosphorus per year. However, the survey also discovered that the bioavailability of phosphorus in the sewage sludge ash is poor and that more than half of the ashes cannot be used as fertilizers due to high heavy metal content. A new thermochemical process for sewage sludge ash treatment was developed that transforms the ash into marketable fertilizer products. Sewage sludge ash was thermochemically treated with sodium and potassium additives under reducing conditions, whereby the phosphate-bearing mineral phases were transformed into plant available phosphates. High P-bioavailability was achieved with a molar Na/P ratio > 1.75 in the starting materials. Sodium sulfate, carbonate and hydroxide performed comparably as additives for this calcination process. Potassium carbonate and -hydroxide have to be added in a molar K/P ratio > 2.5 to achieve comparable P-solubility. The findings of the laboratory scale investigations were confirmed by an industrial demonstration trial for an ash treatment with sodium sulfate. Simultaneously, the volatile transition metal arsenic (61% removal) as well as volatile heavy metals such as cadmium (80%), mercury (68%), lead (39%) and zinc (9%) were removed via the off-gas treatment system. The product of the demonstration trial is characterized by high bioavailability and a toxic trace element mass fraction below the limit values of the German fertilizer ordinance, thus fulfilling the quality parameters for a P-fertilizer.

There is a growing concern against its direct use as fertilizer due to contamination of the sludge with heavy metals and organic pollutants. Incinerating the sludge degrades organic compounds almost completely and concentrates heavy metals and phosphorus. However, the sewage sludge ash (SSA) is almost completely disposed of and with it all resources are removed from the economic cycle. Comprehensive knowledge of the composition of SSA is crucial to assess the resource recovery potentials. We conducted a survey of all SSA emerging in Germany and determined the respective mass fractions of 57 elements over a period of one year. The median content of phosphorus was 7.9%, indicating an important recovery potential. Important trace elements were Zn (2.5 g/kg), Mn (1.3 g/kg), and Cu (0.9 g/kg). Mass fractions of technology metals such as V, Cr, Ga, Nb, and rare earths were comparatively low. Considering the possible use of SSA as secondary raw material for fertilizer production it should be noted that its Cd and U content (2.7 mg/kg and 4.9 mg/kg respectively) is significantly lower than that of rock phosphate based mineral fertilizers.
