Definitions

  • Pyroprocessed products and processes therefor and, more particularly, pyroprocessed aggregates comprising incinerator bottom ash from municipal solid waste incinerators ("IBA") and low calcium silicoaluminous materials and processes for making such aggregates.
  • the products may be sintered or vitrified lightweight and normal weight aggregates, for example.
  • Such aggregates may be used in concrete, masonry, or insulation, for example.
  • Aggregates which are essential ingredients of concrete, may be derived from natural sources with minimal processing or from naturally occurring materials that are heat treated. Aggregates may also be synthetic. Aggregates from natural sources, such as quarries, pits in ground, and riverbeds, for example, are generally composed of rock fragments, gravel, stone, and sand, which may be crushed, washed, and sized for use, as needed. Aggregates from natural materials that may be used to form aggregates include clay, shale, and slate, which are pyroprocessed, causing expansion of the material. OPTIROC and LECA are examples of commercially available expanded clay aggregates, for example. Synthetic aggregates may comprise industrial byproducts, which may be waste materials. LYTAG, for example, is a commercially available sintered aggregate comprising pulverized fuel ash (“PFA”), also known as fly ash. PFA is produced from the combustion of coal in power plants, for example.
  • PFA pulverized fuel ash
  • Aggregates may be lightweight or normal weight.
  • Lightweight aggregates (“LWAs”) have a particle density of less than 2.0 g/m 3 or a dry loose bulk density of less than 1.1 g/cm , as defined in ASTM specification C330.
  • High quality LWAs have a strong but low density porous sintered ceramic core of uniform structural strength and a dense, continuous, relatively impermeable surface layer to inhibit water absorption. They are physically stable, durable, and environmentally inert.
  • LWAs should also be nearly spherical, to improve concrete properties and provide good adherence to concrete paste. Suitable sizes for incorporation in concrete are in a range of from about 4.75 mm to about 25 mm, or 2.36 mm to 9.5 mm for coarse aggregates, in accordance with ASTM Specification C330. Smaller, fine aggregates, which are a byproduct of LWA production, may also be used, to replace sand in concrete, for example.
  • LWAs should have a sufficient crushing strength and resistance to fragmentation so that the resulting concrete has a strength of greater than 10 MPa and a dry density in a range of about 1.5 g/cm 3 to about 2.0 g/cm 3 . Concrete containing LWAs (“LWA concrete”) may also have a density as low as about 300 kg/m 3 .
  • LWA concrete may be 20-30% lighter than conventional concrete, it may be just as strong. Even when it is not as strong as conventional concrete, the LWA concrete may have reduced structural dead loads enabling the use of longer spans, narrower cross-sections, and reduced reinforcement in structures. The lower weight of the LWA concrete facilitates handling and reduces transport, equipment, and manpower costs. LWA concrete may be particularly useful in construction slabs in high rise buildings and in concrete arch bridges, for example. LWA concrete may also have improved insulating properties, freeze-thaw performance, fire resistance, and sound reduction. LWAs can also be used in the construction of other structures, in highways, and as soil fillers, for example. [0005] Quarrying is the largest source of aggregates by volume in most countries. Despite the many advantages of LWAs, aggregate extraction is complicated by environmental and legal issues, availability, and transportation and other costs, for example.
  • waste disposal is another area presenting significant environmental and legal issues. Due to the exhaustion of available landfill sites, the difficulties in acquiring new sites, the adverse environmental effects, and the costs of landfilling, disposal of waste materials has been a significant problem for many years.
  • incinerator bottom ash (IBA)
  • MSW municipal solid waste
  • IBA accounts for about 75% to about 80% of the total weight of MSW incinerator residues.
  • IBA comprises a heterogeneous mixture of slag, glass, ceramics, . ferrous and nonferrous metals, minerals, other non-combustibles, and unburnt organic matter.
  • IBA Inorganic Benzoic acid
  • IBA is currently used in its raw form (without heat treatment) in the construction of fills and embankments, pavement base and road sub- base courses, soil stabilization, landfill cover, in bricks, blocks, and paving stones, and as fillers in particular applications. Although considered a relatively inert waste, leaching of heavy metals in these applications is possible.
  • Concrete containing IBA is weaker than concrete incorporating LYTAG, for example.
  • the IBA may also chemically react with cement, leading to swelling and cracking.
  • Class C PFA which is normally produced from the burning of subbituminous coal and lignite, usually contains significant amount of calcium hydroxide (CaOH) or lime (CaO). Class C PFA has some cementitious properties. The majority of PFA produced is currently disposed in landfills at a great cost and risk of leakage of heavy metals that could contaminate underground aquifers.
  • FBA furnace bottom ash
  • wet or dry bottom ash depending on the type of boiler used.
  • coal combustion by-products have properties that make them desirable for use in a range of applications, more than 70% of the coal ash is unused. The majority of it is disposed of in landfills.
  • FBA is currently used in its raw form as an aggregate in lightweight concrete masonry units, as raw feed material in Portland cement, as a road base and subbase aggregate, as a structural fill material (such as embankments and retaining walls), and as a fine aggregate in asphalt paving.
  • granite sawmills and granite cutting machines used in granite mining for example, which is one of the most important mining sectors, generate a large amount of granite waste residues in the form of powder or mud from sawing and washing processes. Such waste needs to be treated prior to lagoon or landfill disposal in order to prevent contamination of ground or underground water aquifers.
  • Granite comprises silica and alumina.
  • Waste glass which is removed from the MSW stream, is another waste product. Waste glass has been used in highway construction as an aggregate substitute in asphalt paving and as a granular base or fill material. Waste glass varies in sizes from between about 25 mm to about 100 mm.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,120,735 to Smith discloses a method of producing a brick or similarly fired construction unit, such as a ceramic-type tile or vitrified pipe, comprising mixing at least 50% by weight inorganic, non-ferrous ⁇ residue from municipal incinerators (which generally refers to incinerator bottom ash) with coal fly ash and a binder, such as sodium silicate.
  • the mixture is shaped and then fired in three steps. First, the mixture is heated at 180°C for one hour, to ensure that moisture in the mixture is evaporated. Then the mixture is heated in increments of 65°C/minute to 55O 0 C and held overnight, to burn off carbon.
  • the mixture is fired at temperatures of from about 1,700 0 F (926°C) to about 2,000 0 F (1,093 0 C), to form the brick.
  • Smith emphasizes that the addition of the incinerator residue to the coal fly ash lowered the firing temperature as compared to a coal fly ash brick.
  • Smith states that the incinerator residue, instead of the fly ash, melts to produce bonding on cooling. Considerable fusion is said to take place between 1,700 0 F (926°C) and 1,750 0 C (954°C).
  • Smith also reports better brick properties as the proportion of incinerator residues increase.
  • a preferred composition is therefore 50% to 60% incinerator residue 1% to 4% binder, and the remainder coal fly ash.
  • the incinerator residue comprised predominantly glass and possibly incinerator fly ash. Due to the reported strengths, it is also believed that Smith produced a vitrified brick, with a large glassy, amorphous phase. The brick has high strength and low porosity, as the melted glass components of the incinerator residue filled most pores. [0013] The economic burdens and the risks of waste disposal make it advantageous to develop alternative techniques for converting wastes into revenue- earning products, which would also reduce the demand for less accessible, nonrenewable materials.
  • IBA incinerator bottom ash from municipal solid waste incinerators
  • IBA may be difficult to pyroprocess into a product having desired characteristics, because it sinters and densities rapidly.
  • IBA contains high concentrations of calcium containing minerals, such as calcium oxides, carbonates, and sulfates, as well as sodium and potassium oxides and sulfates. These minerals act as "fluxes.” It is believed that these fluxes lower the melting point of the remaining compounds in the IBA, causing sintering and densification at lower temperatures than if lesser amounts of the fluxes were present.
  • IBA is very variable, making its pyroprocessing behavior unpredictable. Variability in IBA composition may be due to several factors, such as the incineration procedures and variability in the wastes received and processed by the MSW incinerator. The wastes received may vary based on the time of the year and the geographic location where the wastes are generated.
  • a method for producing an aggregate comprising mixing incinerator bottom ash ("IBA") from a municipal solid waste incinerator and a second, silicoaluminous material having less calcium than the IBA.
  • the method further comprises agglomerating the mixture to form an agglomerate and pyroprocessing the agglomerate to form an aggregate.
  • the second material may comprise clay, shale, slate, mining waste, waste glass, and/or furnace bottom ash.
  • the clay may comprise bentonite and/or kaolin, for example.
  • the mining waste may comprise granite sawing residues, for example.
  • the method may further comprise milling the IBA, preferably by wet milling, prior to mixing.
  • the mixture of the IBA and the second material may also be milled, such as by wet milling, prior to agglomerating.
  • the agglomerating may comprise pelletizing. After wet milling, the water may be removed and used during pelletizing and/or quenching of the pyroprocessed aggregate.
  • the agglomerate may have a diameter of from about 3 mm to about 40 mm, for example.
  • the method may further comprise wet milling the IBA, separating waste glass from the wet milled IBA, milling the waste glass, and mixing the milled waste glass with the wet milled IBA.
  • the method may further comprise coating the agglomerates with an inorganic powder.
  • the inorganic powder may be PFA 5 clay, shale, and/or slate, for example.
  • a plastic binder, such as clay may also be added to the mixture of IBA and the second material.
  • the term "plastic binder” refers to a binder material that has a high plasticity index.
  • a clay binder may comprise from about 5% to about 20% by dry weight of the weight of the mixture of the IBA, the second material, and the clay binder.
  • the clay binder may comprise bentonite and/or kaolin, for example.
  • the agglomerates are preferably pyroprocessed in a rotary kiln.
  • the aggregate may be pyroprocessed into a lightweight aggregate or a normal weight aggregate.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour produire un agrégat qui consiste à mélanger des cendres de fond d'incinérateur (IBA) et une seconde matière silicoalumineuse qui présente une teneur en calcium inférieure à celle des cendres de fond d'incinérateur. Le procédé consiste également à agglomérer le mélange, par exemple dans le cadre d'une pelletisation, et à pyrotraiter les agglomérats, par exemple dans le cadre d'un frittage ou d'une vitrification, afin de former lesdits agrégats. La seconde matière peut être une argile, telle que de la bentonite ou du kaolin, un résidu d'opérations minières, tel que des résidus de découpe de granit, du verre de rebut ou des cendres de fond de four, par exemple. L'ajout de la seconde matière s'avère faciliter la production d'agrégats de poids léger et de poids normal. Un liant plastique, tel que de l'argile, peut également être ajouté au mélange. Les cendres de fond d'incinérateur ou le mélange de cendres de fond d'incinérateur et de la seconde matière sont de préférence soumis à un concassage humide avant l'agglomération. Cette invention concerne également un agrégat fritté de poids léger comprenant des cendres de fond d'incinérateur et la seconde matière, ainsi qu'un agrégat comprenant des cendres de fond d'incinérateur et la seconde matière.
