Abstract

This study characterized fly ash produced from a sewage sludge incineration facility in Korea to determine if the byproducts can be utilized. All the incinerated sewage sludge was from a city in Korea. To characterize fly ash and to determine if it can be utilized, pH, water contents, elemental components, particle size, surface morphology, heavy metal compositions, and others were analyzed. In average, pH was 6.2, and water contents was about 5%. T-N and $T-P_2O_5$ were 3% and 24.5%, respectively. Particle size averaged 836 nm; surface morphology did not exhibit any significant results. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis results revealed that major components of the fly ash were $P_2O_5$, CaO, MgO, $K_2O$. Composition of heavy metals by the Korea Standard Methods for Waste Quality did not exceed the criteria for specified wastes in Korea.

본 연구에서는 국내 생활하수슬러지의 소각시 발생되는 폐기물 중 소각재를 자원화하기 위하여 비산재의 구성성분을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 도시지역에서 발생되는 하수슬러지만 소각하는 소각장의 비산재를 대상으로 분석하였다. 기초 물성을 분석하기 위하여 pH와 수분함량, 구성성분, 입자크기 및 표면분석을 실시하였으며, 자원 재활용 여부 판단을 위하여 중금속 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 pH는 평균 6.2, 수분함량은 측정 전/후 5%를 나타냈다. T-N과 $T-P_2O_5$의 경우 각각 3%와 24.5%가 함유된 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 도시지역 하수슬러지의 소각 비산재에는 다량의 $T-P_2O_5$가 함유된 것을 알 수 있었다. 입자의 평균 크기는 836 nm이었다. XRD (X-ray diffraction)를 측정한 결과, 비산재가 $P_2O_5$, CaO, MgO, $K_2O$ 등의 구성원소를 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 폐기물공정시험기준에 따라 중금속 분석을 한 결과 지정폐기물 분류기준을 초과하는 항목은 없었다.
