Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the removal of nickel ions due to their negative effects on the environment and human health. In this research, fly ash obtained as a result of incineration of municipal sewage sludge with the use of circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) technology was used to analyze the possibility of removing Ni(II) ions in adsorption processes. The properties of the material were determined using analytical methods, such as SEM-EDS, XRD, BET, BJH, thermogravimetry, zeta potential, SEM, and FT-IR. Several factors were analyzed, such as adsorbent dose, initial pH, initial concentration, and contact time. As a result of the conducted research, the maximum sorption efficiency was obtained at the level of 99.9%. The kinetics analysis and isotherms showed that the pseudo-second order equation model and the Freundlich isotherm model best suited this process. In conclusion, sewage sludge fly ash may be a suitable material for the effective removal of nickel from wastewater and the improvement of water quality. This research is in line with current trends in the concepts of circular economy and sustainable development.

The fuel characteristics of municipal sewage sludge are suitable for dual fluidized bed(DFB) gasification, which can get middle calorific value gas through volatile pyrolysis, and reduce volume through char combustion. The hot test results of municipal sewage sludge on DFB rig were showen that the temperature distribution along combustor heigh is uniform, and the carbon content of fly ash is about 2~3%. In the experiment, with the increase of gasifier temperatrue, the more volatile of the sewage sludge was pyrolyzed. When the temperature of the gasifier reached 800°C, the calorific value of gas was 6.9MJ/Nm3; the emissions of SO2, NOx and HCl were appropriate to the standard. The leaching toxicity of heavy metal of the fly ash was lower than the discharge standard.

The effects of fly-ash on dewatering of sewage sludge were studied according to sludge specific resistance (SSR), dehydrated speed, and moisture content of sludge cake as investigation indexes through single-factor experiments by contrasting to cationic polyacrylamide (PAM). The results showed that SSR kept decreasing with the rising of fly-ash dosage. When the dosage of fly-ash was 0.02 g/(ml sludge), SSR reduced by 65.2%. When the dosage of fly-ash was over 0.03 g/(ml sludge) adding with PAM, the dehydrated speed will be increased by three fourths. Through the analyses of Zeta potential, scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, combined with the dehydration experiments, it was thought that the mechanism of fly-ash on dewatering of sewage sludge was that their particles evenly dispersed in sludge floc skeleton structure and thus decreased the SSR and improved the permeability of the sludge cake. The disposal of dewatering sludge and recycling approaches after fly-ash condition were also discussed. They can be used as landfill or as raw materials in building fields.
