Title: Insights into the Synergistic Effect and Inhibition Mechanism of Composite Conditioner on Sulfur-Containing Gases during Sewage Sludge Pyrolysis. Author: Cheng S, Chen L, Wang S, Yao K, Tian H. Journal: Molecules; 2024 Aug 29; 29(17):. PubMed ID: 39274958. Abstract: Sewage sludge odorous gas release is a key barrier to resource utilization, and conditioners can mitigate the release of sulfur-containing gases. The gas release characteristics and sulfur compound distribution in pyrolysis products under both single and composite conditioning strategies of CaO, Fe2O3, and FeCl3 were investigated. This study focused on the inhibition mechanisms of these conditioners on sulfur-containing gas emissions and compared the theoretical and experimental sulfur content in the products to evaluate the potential synergistic effects of the composite conditioners. The findings indicated that at 650 °C, CaO, Fe2O3, and FeCl3 inhibited H2S release by 35.8%, 23.2%, and 9.1%, respectively. Notably, the composite of CaO with FeCl3 at temperatures ranging from 350 to 450 °C and the combination of Fe2O3 with FeCl3 at 650 °C were found to exert synergistic suppression on H2S emissions. The strongly alkaline CaO inhibited the metathesis reaction between HCl, a decomposition product of FeCl3, and the sulfur-containing compounds within the sewage sludge, thereby exerting a synergistic suppression on the emission of H2S. Conversely, at temperatures exceeding 550 °C, the formation of Ca-Fe compounds, such as FeCa2O4, appeared to diminish the sulfur-fixing capacity of the conditioners, resulting in increased H2S emissions. For instance, the combination of CaO and FeCl3 at 450 °C was found to synergistically reduce H2S emissions by 56.3%, while the combination of CaO and Fe2O3 at 650 °C synergistically enhances the release of H2S by 23.6%. The insights gained from this study are instrumental in optimizing the pyrolysis of sewage sludge, aiming to minimize its environmental footprint and enhance the efficiency of resource recovery.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
