The present work shows that U can be effectively removed from groundwater using permeable reactive barriers with hydroxyapatite (HAP) as reactive material. The main factor influencing the removal processes is the composition of the groundwater, namely the concentration of Ca and carbonate. Sorption of U onto the HAP surface seems to be the dominant removal process with the possibility of remobilisation. Newly formed U-phosphate minerals were detected by ESEM/EDX and XRD in samples with high U content indicating either a dissolution-precipitation mechanism or sorption onto the apatite surface followed by alteration of the structure. The formed U-phosphate minerals are stable under common groundwater conditions and can be remobilised only at high pH-values and high carbonate concentrations.
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for all living organisms and cannot be replaced. Municipal sewage sludge is a carrier of phosphorus, but also contains organic pollutants and heavy metals. A two-step thermal treatment is suggested, including mono-incineration of sewage sludge and subsequent thermochemical treatment of the ashes. Organic pollutants are completely destroyed by mono-incineration. The resulting sewage sludge ashes contain P, but also heavy metals. P in the ashes exhibits low bioavailability, a disadvantage in farming. Therefore, in a second thermochemical step, P is transferred into mineral phases available for plants, and heavy metals are removed as well. The thermochemical treatment was investigated in a laboratory-scale rotary furnace by treating seven different sewage sludge ashes under systematic variation of operational parameters. Heavy metal removal and the increase of the P-bioavailability were the focus of the investigation. The present experimental study shows that these objectives have been achieved with the proposed process. The P-bioavailability was significantly increased due to the formation of new mineral phases such as chlorapatite, farringtonite and stanfieldite during thermochemical treatment.
Stocks of high grade phosphate rock are becoming scarce, and there is growing concern about potentially harmful impurities in conventional phosphorus fertilizers. Sewage sludge ash is a promising secondary phosphorus source. However, to remove heavy metals and convert the phosphorus contained in sewage sludge ash into mineral phases available to plants, an after-treatment is required. Laboratory-scale calcination experiments of sewage sludge ash blended with sodium salts using dried sewage sludge as a reducing agent were carried out at 1000 °C. Thus, the Ca3(PO4)2 or whitlockite component of raw sewage sludge ash, which is not readily plant available, was converted to CaNaPO4 (buchwaldite). Consequently, nearly complete phosphorus solubility in ammonium citrate (a well-established indicator for plant availability) was achieved. Moreover, it was shown that Na2CO3 may be replaced by moderately priced Na2SO4. However, molar ratios of Na/P > 2 were required to achieve >80% phosphorus solubility. Such over-stoichiometric Na consumption is largely caused by side reactions with the SiO2 component of the sewage sludge ash – an explanation for which clear evidence is provided for the first time.
Synthese hydraulischer Phasen in Papierasche und Braunkohlenflugasche durch hydrothermale Behandlung
(2015)
Reststoffe aus industriellen Filter- und Verbrennungsprozessen, die in ihren Hauptbestandteilen aus Si02- und CaO-reichen Mineralphasen bestehen, besitzen das Potential hydraulische Eigenschaften auszubilden. Das bedeutet, dass sie in Anwesenheit von Wasser oder alkalischen Lösungen festigkeitsbildende Phasen entwickeln. Oft bedarf es zunächst einer Aufbereitung um die hydraulischen Mineralphasen zu aktivieren. Hydraulische Phasen sind z.B. die Calciumsilikate Alit (C3S) und Belit (C2S). Sie unterscheiden sich vorrangig durch ihr Ca/Si-Verhältnis. Im Allgemeinen hydratisiert Belit langsamer als Alit und das Hydratationsprodukt weist nach 28 Tagen eine geringere Festigkeit auf. Zur Herstellung von Belit wird weniger Calciumoxid benötigt als zur Herstellung von Alit. Daher muss weniger CaC03 kalziniert werden und der C02-Ausstoß bei der Produktion verringert sich. Zur Synthese von hydraulisch aktivem Belit kann eine hydrothermale Aufbereitung dienen. Verschiedene Autoren nutzten diese Behandlung zur Aktivierung verschiedener Reststoffe, wobei sich CaO-reiche Asche aus der Energieerzeugung (z.B. Braunkohlenflugasche) als sehr geeignet erwies, Papierasche (PA) aus dem Papierrecyling besitzt ebenfalls einen hohen CaO-Gehalt und ist Bestandteil der aktuellen Bindemittelforschung auf Reststoffbasis. Die Untersuchung einer hydrothermalen Aktivierung fehlt bisher. Dieser Artikel soll einen Beitrag zur Klärung der folgenden Fragen leisten: Eignet sich Papierasche zur Belitsynthese durch hydrothermale Behandlung? Wie entwickeln sich die Mineralphasen im Vergleich zur Braunkohlenflugasche?
