Study on the emission characteristics and mechanism of sulfur-containing gas during sludge pyrolysis at low temperature
Abstract The effects of temperature, time, and calcium-based ultrafine powder on sulfur-containing gas in the sludge drying process were examined through experiments, and effective measures to control the release of sulfur-containing gases such as CS2, H2S, and SO2 were proposed. Experimental results showed that the drying temperature of sludge should be controlled below 250°C, and the drying duration should be kept within 1 min. Additionally, the release amount of three gases released was small. When the addition amount of calcium-based powder added reached 20% of the original sludge mass fraction, the concentration of sulfur-containing gas released was 59.81 mg/m3, 94% lower than that of the dry pure sludge gas. After absorption by calcium-based powder, there are almost no sulfur-containing organic compounds and sulfur-containing gases. The research results provide a direction for the selection of pyrolysis sludge treatment technology, which is conducive to control the discharge of harmful gases.
