Effect of Fe-based substance on Cr leaching behavior in hazardous waste incineration fly ash after thermal treatment

This study investigated the influence of the interaction between Fe-based substances and thermal treatment parameters on the leaching behavior of Cr in hazardous waste incineration fly ash ( HWIFA) after thermal treatment. The results revealed that the interaction between the addition of Fe-based substance and the thermal treatment parameters and their effects on static and dynamic leaching behaviors of Cr had significant differences when Fe2O3, Fe3O4, and Fe were added, respectively. Specifically, when Fe2O3 or Fe was added, the thermal treatment temperature was the most significant factor affecting the static leaching of Cr in thermal treated HWIFA, and the interaction effect of other factors was not significant. The most important influence on the dynamic leaching behavior of Cr was the interaction between the thermal treatment temperature and the addition of Fe2O3. Different from the addition of Fe2O3, the effect of the addition of Fe3O4 on the static leaching of Cr in thermal treated HWIFA was more significant than that of thermal treatment temperature; meanwhile, the interaction between the thermal treatment temperature and the addition of Fe3O4 was also significant. However, when Fe3O4 was added, the effect of interaction between factors on the dynamic leaching of Cr in thermal treated HWIFA was consistent with that when Fe2O3 was added.

Automated summary

This study examined the influence of the interaction between Fe-based substances and thermal treatment parameters on the leaching behavior of Cr in HWIFA. The results showed significant differences in the effects on static and dynamic leaching behaviors of Cr when Fe2O3, Fe3O4, and Fe were added. The thermal treatment temperature was the most significant factor affecting static leaching, while the interaction between temperature and Fe2O3 addition had the most important influence on dynamic leaching behavior of Cr.
