Research on Immobilization of Heavy Metals in Sludge by Pyrolysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Variations of heavy metals in sludge during microwave pyrolysis and muffle pyrolysis were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES). Increased basicity of residues from the sludge is found. Leaching percentages of heavy metals ranging from 0.031% to 5.364% after microwave treatment are lower. Releases of cadmium, lead, zinc and copper from the residues obtained in microwave pyrolysis reduce by 92.68% compared with muffle pyrolysis. Alkaline intermediates formed in the pyrolysis residues bring about improved immobilization of heavy metals. Transformation in morphology of heavy metals and strong alkaline of the residues, lead to the immobilization of heavy metals during microwave pyrolysis.
