[Chemical stabilization technology in treating with flyash using apatite]

Toxicity leaching characteristics and chemical compositions of sample flyash collected from municipal solid waste incinerator was analyzed, it was clear that different heavy metals were contained in flyash and the heavy metal leaching concentration for Pb, Zn, Cd was 11.8, 164.9 and 31.2 mg/L respectively which was much higher than that in Hazardous Waste Toxicity Leaching Standards. A new kind of inorganic chemical agent apatite was chosen to treat with this kind of incineration flyash, the results indicate that the heavy metals (not including Cd in some samples) in the treated flyash using apatite at dosage 7% can reach the landfilling standards for hazardous waste, and the treated flyash can have better stabilization when the size of apatite was 74 microm, and the heavy metal leaching concentration of the treated flyash keep stable at a curing time of 1 day, and it can keep stabilization with a broader pH value of 3 to 11. Thus the risk of secondary pollution for the treated flyash was reduced dramatically when the environment conditions change.
