Abstract:Municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration fly ash were stabilized by combining dithiocarbamate chelating resin agent (FACAR) with triple superphosphate (TSP). For the pristine and stabilized fly ash, BCR sequential extraction procedure, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) measurement were performed to explore the mechanism of heavy metals stabilization. The results indicated that 5% FACAR addition could effectively stabilize heavy metal Pb, Cd and Ni in fly ash, and the leaching concentrations of Pb, Cd and Ni were lower than the limits stipulated in Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site of Municipal Solid Waste (GB 16889-2008). Moreover, the fly ash treated by the combination of 3% FACAR and 3% TSP could meet the requirements of GB 16889-2008 and the cost obviously decreased, its surface porosity was reduced significantly, and the unstable forms of Pb, Cd and Ni changed to stable ones. The stabilization of Pb, Cd and Ni was mainly ascribed to the joint mechanisms of chelation, co-precipitation and adsorption. Furthermore, the sulfur functional groups contained in the FACAR were the main factors affecting the heavy metals stabilization, which could be preferentially bonded with the sulfur functional groups. Key words:fly ash/ heavy metals/ phosphate/ organic chelating agent/ stabilization mechanism.
