Abstract

In this study, optimum extraction conditions for phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge ash(SSA) were investigated. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted to determine optimal recovery conditions for Ca-P type phosphorus by using calcium component in the recycled aggregate residue. The phosphorus content of sewage sludge ash was confirmed to be 5.0 %. When $H_2SO_4$ was used as an extract, concentration of 1 N $H_2SO_4$, L/S ratio of 10, and extraction time of 30 min were found to be the optimal extraction conditions. Phosphorus was extracted by using optimal extraction conditions, and then the heavy metals eluted with phosphorus were removed using 1~20 g of cation exchange resin. In 20 g of cation exchange resin, Fe 71.3%, Cu 82.4%, Zn 79.9%, and Cr 15% were removed. After that, the mixing ratio of the calcium extract obtained from the recycled aggregate residue (RAR) was changed to 1:1, 1:5, 1:10. The pH of the SSA to RAR mixture was adjusted to 2, 4, 8 and 12 by the addition of 5 N NaOH to the mixture of 1:5, and the phosphorus was recovered as Ca-P type precipitate. The optimum pH was 8. When recycled aggregate residues were used, the weight of calcium phosphate increased, but the amount of wastewater generated also increased. Therefore, it was concluded that the use of recycled aggregate residue was not economically feasible.

본 연구에서는 하수슬러지 소각재에서 인을 회수하기 위한 최적 추출 조건을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 순환골재 잔재물 내에 존재하는 칼슘 성분을 이용하여 Ca-P 형태로 최적의 인 회수 조건을 결정하기 위한 실험을 진행하였다. 하수슬러지 소각재의 인 함량은 5 %로 확인되었다. $H_2SO_4$을 추출액으로 사용하였을 때, 1 N $H_2SO_4$의 농도와 L/S비 10, 그리고 추출시간 30분이 최적의 추출조건으로 조사되었다. 최적의 추출 조건을 이용하여 인을 추출한 다음 양이온교환수지 1 ~ 20 g 범위를 사용하여 인과 함께 용출된 중금속을 제거하였는데, 양이온교환수지 20 g에서 Fe 71.3 %, Cu 82.4 %, Zn 79.9 %, Cr 15 %가 제거되었다. 그 후 소각재 인 추출액과 순환골재 잔재물에서 얻은 칼슘 추출액의 혼합비율을 1:1, 1:5, 1:10으로 변화를 주었다. 1:5 혼합액에 5 N NaOH를 주입하여 pH를 2, 4, 8, 12로 조절한 후 인을 Ca-P 형태의 침전물로 회수하는 실험을 진행하였는데, 인이 Ca-P 형태로 침전되는 최적 pH는 8로 도출되었다. 순환골재 잔재물을 사용하였을 경우, 회수되는 침전물의 무게는 증가하였지만, 폐수 발생량이 증가하는 문제가 발생하였다. 따라서 순환골재 잔재물을 이용하는 것은 경제성이 낮다고 판단되었다.
