Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for processing waste incineration ash, in particular household waste incineration ash (HMVA), in which the ash is classified in a processing plant that is separate from the actual waste incineration.
  • HMVA household waste incineration ash
  • a classification of ash formerly also known as slag, which arises when waste is incinerated, for example commercial or household waste, is known in principle.
  • Classification is understood to mean the separation of a starting material consisting of particles with a given grain size distribution into several fractions with different grain size distributions.
  • the classification is used in particular to separate the ash into parts that are contaminated with certain pollutants to different degrees, whereby some parts can be recycled profitably, while other parts have to be disposed of at a cost due to existing relevant legal regulations.
  • a classification can make use of the generally known fact that certain pollutants essentially only bind to ash particles with a certain maximum grain size.
  • the EP 2 062 647 A2 describes a process for the production of compactable slag granulate from waste incineration slag, with slag fractions with a grain diameter of less than 0.1 mm (fine grain fraction) being washed out, this fine grain fraction being reduced by at least 50%.
  • the EP 1 818 611 A2 describes a system for handling and processing solid combustion residues from a combustion system.
  • the system has at least one collecting container, which is arranged on the underside of an ash discharge funnel of the combustion system and contains a water bath.
  • a crusher for crushing the combustion residues emerging from the ash discharge funnel.
  • a device for hydraulic conveying connects to the collecting container, which feeds a suspension consisting of water and combustion residues from the collecting container to a separating device for the separation of solids.
  • the DE 197 27 172 A1 describes a process for the production of secondary building materials by the mechanical processing of aged slag from waste incineration plants, the slag being abandoned building rubble and this mixture being fed to an overbelt magnet through which coarse ferrous scrap is withstood.
  • the mixture is then classified dry with a sieve cut of 70 mm, with the material ⁇ 70 mm of the mixture being dry classified up to 32 mm after a further magnetic separation.
  • the coarse grain> 32 mm is broken up with a slow-running impact crusher and fed to the aforementioned overbelt magnet. Dry material ⁇ 32 mm is applied to a 2 mm sieve, water being sprayed onto the material of the sieve with 5-8 bar from high pressure nozzles.
  • the sieve passage ⁇ 2 mm is fed to a floating matter separator, the material is split into two grain classes in a two-stage upflow classifier and the sieve passage 2-32 mm is attrited in a 2-shaft sword washer and simultaneously exposed to water from high-pressure nozzles.
  • the EP 1 348 905 A1 describes a process for the treatment of incineration residues from waste incineration plants, in which the fuel is burned on a furnace grate. The resulting combustion residues are extinguished in a wet slag remover and transported out of it.
  • the wet combustion residues coming from the wet slag remover are first divided into two fractions by means of a sieving process, whereupon the main fraction is washed with water removed from the wet slag remover and any fine particles adhering to it are separated off. The washed parts of the incineration residues are recycled. The washing water with the fine particles absorbed during the washing process reaches the wet slag remover.
  • the fine fraction resulting from the mechanical separation process is fed back into the incineration process.
  • the EP 2 128 279 A1 describes a method for separating metal-containing fractions of slag with the following steps: a) supplying the slag; b) processing the slag into fractions; c) pre-separating the portions which have a size of at most 5 mm, with iron-containing portions being separated; d) Separating non-ferrous metal-containing parts, which have a size of at most 5 mm, by using an eddy current separating device. The fractions are kept dry when non-ferrous metal-containing fractions are separated.
  • the EP 2 052 780 A2 describes a method for processing incineration slag, which comprises the steps of providing a combustion slag material stream and dry processing of the incineration slag, with at least two fractions of slag particles of different grain sizes being provided. These are further processed dry and then subjected to wet processing, with the material flow being transferred to a vessel.
  • the incineration slag material flow is with under Pressurized water is applied, followed by the separation of impurities and wet classification of the combustion slag material flow into at least two fractions of slag particles of different grain sizes. Separately from one another, these are subjected to a hydro-separation process to separate contaminants.
  • the CH 676 116 A5 describes a process for obtaining a gravel substitute from waste slag, in which the waste slag is watered, freed from coarse material and iron scrap and drained.
  • the DE 10 2005 048 959 A1 describes a method for processing ash by eliminating substitute fuel components (RDF) from an ash / RDF mixture using a self-cleaning vibrating grate for classification.
  • RDF substitute fuel components
  • a dewatering and fine classification device is also used to feed the finely classified ash / RDF mixture to a hydrocyclone and then to a fluidized bed sorter, so that the result is a plastic-free ash product with a given grain size and high quality level for the building materials industry.
  • incineration ash is mostly dumped, which, however, is associated with relatively high costs, or under high conditions, e.g. recycled as a low-classified building material.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a possibility with which incineration ash can be recycled which is interesting from an economic point of view.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that in the processing of incineration ash, the concentration of relevant pollutants contained in the ash in a fine fraction, i.e. in one or more proportions with a relatively low maximum grain size, can then be economically interesting if the Keeping the proportion of this fine fraction in the raw material, i.e. in the ash brought into the processing, as small as possible.
  • the aim of the invention is not that the known dry classification is modified, but rather that the waste incineration ash is subjected to a wet classification that is basically known per se.
  • the inventors have recognized that the fact that wet classification in particular enables the use of classification processes that are particularly gentle on the grain can be exploited.
  • grain-friendly classification methods as those methods in which the particles to be classified are not crushed or destroyed and in particular in which no dust is produced, so that the grain size distribution of the input material compared to that of the output material as a whole, i.e. all fractions resulting from the classification combined , is practically unchanged.
  • the wet classification comprises classification by means of an upflow technique.
  • the invention can use this type of classification in a particularly advantageous manner, since the ash is treated in an extremely gentle manner.
  • a hydrocyclone is connected upstream of an upflow classifier.
  • the processing of the ash according to the invention includes a metal processing at one or more points, i. H. the separation of metals.
  • This processing can include both an FE separation, i.e. a separation of ferrous metals, and a non-ferrous separation, i.e. a separation of non-ferrous metals.
  • classic FE or NE separators can be used for this treatment.
  • an optical inspection can take place. This optical inspection can be carried out both manually and by machine. In principle, numerous variants are conceivable, each of which enables pure metal processing.
  • the metals are not separated dry before or after the wet classification of the HMVA, but after at least part of the wet classification. In other words, the metals are run in the wet or washing process, i.e. the metals are also washed.
  • This "washing along” also increases the yield of metals.
  • the metals can be carried along in the wet or washing process, i.e. the metals can also be “washed with", even if no optical sifting of any kind takes place during the separation of the metals.
  • the metals "washed along” can also be separated off in a conventional manner per se by means of known metal separators.
  • the wet classification is preferably carried out in such a way that the lower limit of the grain size in the fine fraction is 0 ⁇ m and the upper limit of the grain size is approximately
  • the range is from 50 to 500 ⁇ m, in particular is approximately in the range from 200 to 300 ⁇ m, and is preferably about 250 ⁇ m. It was found that with such an upper limit of the grain size practically all relevant pollutants are contained in the fine fraction, at the same time the proportion of this polluted fine fraction in the ash brought into the processing plant is so small that the recycling of the low-pollutant or pollutant-free residue As a whole, the ash can be processed economically.
  • the following steps are carried out one after the other in the wet classification: First, the ash is mixed with a liquid, in particular water. At least a first coarse fraction is separated off from the resulting product. In particular, a sieve device is used here. Subsequently, at least a second coarse fraction is separated from the product freed from the first coarse fraction using an upflow technique with an upflow classifier and an upstream hydrocyclone. The resulting fine fraction is then extracted from liquid. A chamber filter press in particular can be used here. In at least one of the coarse fractions (II, III), metals are separated off after passing through at least part of the wet classification.
  • wet classification in such a way that at least two different coarse fractions are separated in addition to the fine fraction is not mandatory, i.e. only a single coarse fraction can be separated off.
  • a wet classification can be carried out particularly effectively, especially with regard to the operation of the processing plant and the recycling of the low-pollutant or pollutant-free portion of the ash and is advantageous above all from an economic point of view.
  • the ash can be subjected to a mechanical, in particular dry pretreatment before being introduced into the processing plant, in which metal parts and unburned contaminants are removed from the ash.
  • the ashes can be damp.
  • Such a preparatory processing of the ash from the waste incineration plant can - although it can be carried out dry or, for example, with moist ash - nevertheless be carried out in such a way that the grain size distribution of the ash to be introduced into the processing plant according to the invention is not adversely affected.
  • it is particularly with regard to an optical sifting of metals for the purpose of separating the metals provided that the separation not only takes place dry, but that the metals are always "washed" beforehand.
  • the wet classification can be carried out in such a way that the dry weight proportion of the fine fraction contaminated with pollutants in the ash brought into the processing plant, from which metal parts and unburned contaminants have been removed in a pretreatment, is at most about 30% and in particular at most about 10% amounts to. So far, it has not been considered possible to process incineration ash in such a way that only a maximum of around 10 to 30% of the ash is highly contaminated with pollutants and thus at least around 70 to 90% of the ash is easily recycled and in particular without violating the relevant legal provisions can be. However, the wet classification of the ash, which is gentle on the grain, according to the invention makes exactly this possible.
  • the ash from the waste incineration plant is preferably pretreated in such a way that the ash is introduced into the processing plant with a particle size distribution whose upper limit is no more than approximately 100 mm.
  • the upper limit is in the range from 40 to 50 mm.
  • the upper limit is preferably about 45 mm.
  • the processing plant preferably has an essentially closed liquid circuit.
  • water or an aqueous solution is used as the liquid for the wet classification.
  • at least one parameter of a liquid used for the wet classification is kept below or above a predetermined limit value.
  • liquid is discharged from a liquid circuit as soon as the limit value is reached, in particular exceeded or fallen below.
  • This embodiment can be of practical importance in particular when, on the one hand, costs are to be saved and, on the other hand, certain constituents are to be prevented from being "carried over" to the ashes.
  • Such constituents can in particular be salts, for example mainly chlorides and sulfates.
  • the concentration of these constituents can be determined, for example, by measuring the conductivity in the liquid, ie the monitored parameter in the liquid circuit can in particular be the electrical conductivity Act. Accordingly, liquid is only discharged from the circuit when the conductivity has reached the specified limit value. On the one hand, this minimizes the consumption of fresh liquid, in particular water, which saves costs.
  • the or each low-pollutant or pollutant-free coarse fraction contains too high a proportion of the respective constituents, in particular of salts.
  • the limit value can in particular be made dependent on the wishes of the respective plant operator or can be specified by the sewage treatment plant on site.
  • a liquid used for wet classification has a temperature in the range from 20 to 40 ° C.
  • HMVA household waste incineration ash
  • the wet classification can in particular be carried out in such a way that the proportion of the ash brought into the processing plant contaminated with pollutants, from which metal parts and unburned contaminants were removed in an especially dry pretreatment, a dry weight proportion of about 30%, in particular of about 10%, does not exceed. If one assumes that incineration ash is at least essentially always the same with regard to the grain size distribution and the type and amount of the relevant pollutants, at least when metal parts and unburned contaminants have been removed from it in a particularly dry pretreatment, then the ash processing according to the invention can consequently can be characterized by the upper limit of the dry weight fraction of the ash content that is polluted with pollutants.
  • the wet classification is carried out in such a way that the lower limit of the grain size in the polluted fraction is 0 ⁇ m and the upper limit of the grain size is approximately in the range from 50 to 500 ⁇ m, in particular approximately in the range from 200 to 300 ⁇ m and preferably approximately 250 ⁇ m.

  • the mixing or soaking or mashing of the ash A with the liquid that takes place during the wet classification thus simultaneously represents a treatment of the ash A with an acidic aqueous solution, which results in the phosphates P contained in the ash A being redissolved.
  • this type of recovery of phosphates P is particularly advantageous, since the mixing of ash A with the water or the acidic aqueous solution and in particular the closed liquid circuit enables a particularly long-lasting and intimate reaction of the ash A with the acidic aqueous solution.
  • this combination in other words, the wet classification of waste incineration ash with integrated recovery of usable substances, in particular phosphates - also represents an independent aspect of the invention.
  • the redissolution of the phosphates P is promoted by a higher temperature of the acidic aqueous solution without impairing the wet classification.
  • the temperature is selected in such a way that the system as a whole can be operated in an optimal economic range. It was found that this is already possible at a temperature of the acidic aqueous solution in the closed circuit in the range from 20 to 40 ° C.
  • solution L liquid including the phosphates P redissolved therein
  • the removal of the solution L containing the redissolved phosphates P can in principle take place at any point in the liquid circuit W.
  • a withdrawal device can be provided which can be controlled or regulated as a function of the pH value of the solution L.
  • the solution L is fed to an insulating device 27 in which the phosphates P are re-precipitated in a basically known manner.
  • the liquid remaining after the isolation of the phosphates P is fed back to the circuit W.
  • a measuring device in the form of a potentiometric probe 41 is connected upstream of the round thickener 23, with which the electrical conductivity of the liquid can be measured. If the conductivity reaches a specified value, which can be specified, for example, by the operator of the treatment plant or the sewage treatment plant on site, a specified amount of the liquid is discharged and replaced by fresh liquid, in particular fresh water.
  • the water discharge E can - as shown by way of example in the figure - take place behind the round thickener 23, viewed in the process direction.
  • metal processing 37, 39 to take place in each case before the two coarse fractions II, III are stockpiled.
  • the metal is processed in such a way that the metals are run in the wet or washing process before they are separated, ie "washed", so that an optical sifting is improved or made possible in the first place, since this movement of the metals in the wet process makes the metals particularly special getting clean.
