Experimental study on stabilization of sewage sludge by MOC

Magnesium oxychloride cement(MOC) was used for the stability agent in the stabilization experiments of sewage sludge.It is found that MgCl_2 in MOC is a kind of water-absorbent,water absorption of MgCl_2 can be achieved at 1.55(mL/g)(per 100 g sludge).Meanwhile,some water in sludge can be combined with MOC in the hydration reaction and sludge moisture content can be reduced efficaciously.The crystal structure of 3 phase and 5 phase,which occurred in the hydration process,makes the sludge compressive strength as high as 85.14(kg/cm~2).The best ratio of MOC/sludge is 3/100,and MgO/MgCl_2 is 3/1.Mg-Si-Al gel system is formed with Si~(2+),Al~(3+),Cu~(2+) in the sludge under alkaline condition,and it plays an important role in the stabilization of the heavy metals in sludge.Leaching experiments of sludge show that heavy metal concentrations of Cu,Zn,Cd,Cr,As in lixivium from sludge are lower than leachability standard.
