Abstract:
Stabilization of excess sewage sludge from antibiotic production wastewater treatment with fly ash was studied. Fly ash and excess sewage sludge were mixed in four different ratios and three mixing times. Toxicity characteristics leaching procedure (TCLP), equilibrium leaching test (ELT), and long-term leaching test (LTLT) were used to investigate the teachability of heavy metals. Taking heavy metal ion concentration and pathogens into account, the mixture may be qualified to be used as soil conditioner for soil improvement application. Surface complexation and deposition (silicate and hydrate deposition) were the main mechanisms of fixation of heavy metals by fly ash. Surface complexation and silicate deposition worked in a relatively wider pH range, especially low pH. Hydrate deposition worked at higher pH. It was found that the fixing capacity increased with the increase of the loading rate of fly ash. In the study, fly ash can remove at least 92.6% of microorganism, and the high pH condition was considered to be the predominant reason for killing pathogens.
