ABSTRACT
Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash is a hazardous waste containing heavy metals. Secondary aluminum dross (SAD) is a hazardous waste discharged from aluminum smelting, containing active aluminum nitride (AlN). In this work, heavy metals from MSWI fly ash were reduced into alloy by AlN from SAD, and the slag was manufactured into transparent glass for building. Reduction of iron and zinc was 67 and 100 %, respectively. Reduction mechanism was explored after applying XRD, XRF and thermodynamics analysis. It was found that the reduction reaction was an ion reaction. The AlN and heavy metal oxide transformed into anionic group containing nitrogen and heavy metal cation, after entering slag. The heavy metals were reduced into alloy after electron was transferred from anionic group to cation. In addition, the reduced iron and zinc could merge into alloy, which inhibited evaporation of zinc. Yellow transparent glass was obtained after the reduction process. Yellow was come from titanium oxide, which could not be reduced by AlN. Microhardness, density and water absorption of the transparent glass were 741 HV, 2.86 g·cm-3 and 0.04 %, respectively. Leaching content of Ni, Cu, Zn and Pb of the glass were 0.1, <0.1, 0.6 and < 0.1 mg/L, respectively, all below the TCLP limit. About 115 â¼ 213 dollars were earned after manufacturing 500 kg of MSWI fly ash into transparent glass. This work provided a novel idea of recycling solid waste into alloy and transparent glass for building.
