摘要

Abstract

The effect of moisture in municipal solid waste (MSW) on partitioning of lead (Pb)

zinc (Zn)

copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) was studied in a laboratory tubular furnace by using simulated MSW. The moisture in MSW influences heavy metals in following ways

to increase the moisture in flue gas and decrease the combustion temperature

to prolong the combustion time

and to prolong the releasing time of volatiles with the furnace temperature decreased by increasing the moisture. The volatilization of Pb

Zn and Cd was enhanced by increasing the moisture in MSW because of the prolonged combustion time. For Pb and Zn

the combustion time was important at higher temperature

while for Cd

it was important at low temperature. The moisture content showed slight effect on Cu partitioning. When extra chlorine was added to MSW

such as 1%PVC+0.5%NaCl

the volatilization of Pb

Zn and Cu was enhanced by increasing the moisture because water evaporation reduced the temperature and increased devolatilization time. At higher temperature

NaCl tends to decompose and generates more free chlorine

producing more metal chlorides. Since Cd is a strong volatile heavy metal in MSW

the effect of moisture content on its volatilization is less than that of Pb

Zn or Cu during the MSW incineration.
