With the rapid economic development and the increase in population in the whole world, the amount of municipal sewage (MS) is increasing and lead to a rapid increasing in amount of municipal sewage sludge (MSS). Combustion of municipal sewage sludge may be a viable solution for its disposal in some cases and so is its co-combustion with coal. Whereas significant information is available on NOx and N2O emissions characteristics of sludge and coal individually, not much has been reported on sludge/coal blends. In the present paper, investigations in NOx and N2O emission characteristics from circulation fluidized bed combustion of blends of municipal sewage sludge and coal were conducted in a 0.2MWth circulating fluidized bed test facility with cross section of 0.23×0.23m2 and height of 5.9m. Coal sample selected was a kind of lignite, while a kind of paper mill sludge was used as sludge sample. The influences of sludge/coal mixing rate, excess air ratio and second air ratio on NOx and N2O emission characteristics have been studied. Test results show that co-combustion of sewage sludge and coal is feasible. With the increasing in proportion of sludge of the sludge/coal blends, the temperatures in dense bed and freeboard decrease rapidly, and the emissions of NOx decrease while the emission of N2O increases obviously. With the increasing in excess air ratio, the emission concentrations of NOx and N2O increase. While with the increasing in secondary air ratio, the emission concentrations of NOx and N2O decrease.

Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion

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.

Critical Water Content

Moisture distribution in sewage sludge was considered as the essential of thermal drying. Some methods were given in literatures to test the moisture distribution, but there was no standard method to determine the critical water content between different kinds of water. The municipal sewage sludge was dried by hot air in this work. Based on the drying curve, the derivative of drying rate with respect to dry basis moisture content was brought out to analyze the moisture distribution in sewage sludge. Results show that this method can easily determine the free water, interstitial water, surface water and bound water with a high accuracy. The present work can provide new insight to determine the moisture distribution in sewage sludge, which was still lacking in the literatures.

Hot Test

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.
