Abstract

Abstract: Thermodynamic equilibrium calculations were performed to reveal effects of interactions among Cl, S, P and other minerals on Cu migration. Our results showed that HCl(g), SO₂(g) and (P₂O₅)₂(g) were released from the sewage sludge co-incineration. Cl was found to weaken adsorption of Cu by Al₂O₃, CaO and Fe₂O₃, while S delayed reactions of Fe₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ with Cu, with P having no effect on reactions between the minerals and Cu. Among the coupled systems of Cl, S and P, the co-existences of Cl and S, and Cl, S and P were determined to inhibit Cu volatilization, and the co-existence of Cl and P had an enhancing effect. Cu migration was affected only by S in the S and P system. With the SiO₂, CaO and Al₂O₃ system, both Cl alone and Cl and P led to failed reactions between the minerals and Cu. In the systems of S, S and Cl, S and P, and S, Cl and P, the migration behavior of Cu was mainly affected by S at low temperatures and by Cl at high temperatures, whereas P had no effect on Cu migration during the entire process.
