Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ダイオキシン類に汚染された土壌、底泥、汚泥、焼却灰、飛灰、活性炭等の固形物を浄化する技術に係る、ダイオキシン類含有固形物の処理方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ダイオキシン類などの有機塩素化合物は化学的に安定な難分解性物質であり、焼却炉等における特に250〜350℃の温度領域で非意図的に生成してくる。ダイオキシン類は、環境ホルモンともいわれ、動物の生体内に取込まれたとき本来その生体内で営まれている正常なホルモン作用に影響を与える外因性内分泌撹乱化学物質であり、生殖機能を阻害したり、悪性腫を引き起こす可能性があると指摘され、厳しい規制の対象となっている。
【0003】
ダイオキシン類は、焼却炉での燃焼制御などにより生成させない手段を講じることが必要であるが、生成を皆無にすることが難かしいこともあり、一方で排ガス、排水、焼却灰などに含まれるダイオキシン類の分解処理が必要となる。
【0004】
ダイオキシン類に汚染された土壌、底泥、汚泥、焼却灰、飛灰、活性炭等の固形物を浄化する方法として古くは、ダイオキシン類汚染固形物を金属酸化物、炭酸塩などを触媒として酸素欠乏状態で加熱する方法〔特許文献1参照〕、ダイオキシン類含有固形物にアルカリ金属化合物やアルカリ土類化合物を混合して加熱する方法〔特許文献2参照〕などが提案されている。
【0005】
最近では、ダイオキシン類に対する規制が厳しくなる状況に応えて多くの提案がなされ、例えば、汚染固形物を、アルカリ水中で亜硫酸ナトリウム、ハイドロサルファイトなど還元剤を加え200〜400℃で処理する方法〔特許文献3参照〕、汚染固形物を、アスファルト、アルカリ金属化合物及び硫黄とともに、空気の流入を実質的に遮断した条件下で加熱混練する方法。〔特許文献4参照〕などがある。

【0018】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明は、ダイオキシン類を含有する固形物(以降「被処理固形物」と記す)を、亜硫酸ガス(二酸化硫黄)と接触させることからなっている。
【0019】
本発明の被処理固形物は、具体的には土壌、底泥、焼却灰、飛灰、活性炭などである。本発明の処理方法は、固体と気体との接触であるので、被処理固形物は細かく粉砕する程効率がよく、その粉砕方法は限定するものではないが、単純な攪拌による粉砕から、ボールミルにより機械的な粉砕など任意に選ばれる。この際、砂利やその他異物が多いときは、篩などで除去しておくのが望ましい。実用上は20メッシュ以下、好ましくは50メッシュ以下にする。
【0020】
本発明の処理を行うにあたり、被処理固形物は水を多く含まない方が好ましく、従って乾燥機の中に置く、あるいは加熱空気と接触させるなどして水分率を20重量%以下の実質的に水分のないようにしておくのが好ましい。
【0021】
亜硫酸ガスは、その供給源は特に限定するものではないが、例えば、液化二酸化硫黄を気化させて、これを亜硫酸ガス接触槽に導く、あるいは亜硫酸アルカリ金属塩、亜硫酸アンモニウム塩、亜硫酸水素アルカリ金属塩、亜硫酸水素アンモニウムを被処理固形物と一緒に亜硫酸ガス接触槽に入れ、亜硫酸塩の分解温度以上に加熱して亜硫酸ガス接触槽内で亜硫酸ガスを発生させることもできる。ここで、アルカリ金属としては、ナトリウム、カリウムが好ましい。分解温度は、塩により異なるが、亜硫酸アンモニウムでは60〜70℃〔化学便覧基礎編I−177頁(丸善)〕で低いが、その他は150℃以上であり、必然的に本発明の処理は高い温度が必要となる。また、焼却炉や化石燃料を焼却させたとき発生する排ガス中の亜硫酸ガスを利用することもでき、排ガス中の亜硫酸ガスをそのまま用いる、あるいは排ガスを冷却または圧縮し、水に吸収させて亜硫酸ガス分を濃縮分離して用いるなどの方法がある。
【0022】
亜硫酸ガスは、100%またはそれ近くの高い濃度で用いるのが処理効率がよいのはいうまでもないが、実用的には、空気または窒素中に亜硫酸ガスを1容量%以上任意の濃度の混合ガスとして用いて行うのが便利である。被処理固形物中のダイオキシン類は極めて微量であるので、化学量論的には亜硫酸ガスも極く微量で充分である。しかし、被処理固形物中には通常種々の成分が共存しており、これらが亜硫酸ガスを消費することがあるので、亜硫酸ガス濃度を高くすることが望まれる。さらに、処理中に亜硫酸ガスを追加するのがよい。
【0023】
本発明の処理は、被処理固形物を処理容器に入れ、亜硫酸ガスまたは亜硫酸ガスと空気の混合ガスを充満させ、あるいは被処理固形物に加熱したとき亜硫酸ガスを発生する化合物を混合して処理容器に入れ、密閉して、攪拌を行って被処理固形物と亜硫酸ガスを接触させる。処理温度は、20℃以上の温度であれば実施できるが、ダイオキシン類の分解速度に関連する処理能力、装置、経済性などを考慮すれば実用的には40〜250℃、さらに好ましくは60〜200℃である。加熱方法は、オイルヒーター、熱風による加熱など任意に決められる。
【0024】
処理時間は、被処理固形物中のダイオキシン類の量、亜硫酸ガス濃度、温度、被処理固形物の形態、処理容器の形態などにより異るので一律に決められないが、1〜24時間で終了するように条件を設定するのがよい。処理の終了は、固形物に含まれるダイオキシン類の量を別途分析して目的の値以下になっているかで決められるが、予め小規模予備試験を行い、目標のダイオキシン類含有量に到達するまでの所要時間を求めておき、これに安全率を考慮して決めるのが普通である。
【0025】
本発明の処理は、固体とガスの接触であり、被処理固形物を攪拌するか、被処理固形物を吹き上げるように下からガスを流す、あるいは両者を組合せて行うのがよい。処理容器の形態は任意に選ばれるが、前者の場合は、内部に邪魔板を備えた円筒形状容器に被処理固形物を供給し、亜硫酸ガス雰囲気にして密閉してこれを横にして、あるいは片方を少し高くして略横にして設置し、円筒形状容器を回転させることにより被処理固形物と亜硫酸ガスの接触を行う方法がある。後者の場合は、図1に示すように、略円錐形状の槽に被処理固形物を供給し、亜硫酸ガス雰囲気にして密閉し、周囲から加熱するとともに、系内の亜硫酸ガスを含むガスを循環ポンプで循環させ、被処理固形物を下部から吹き上げるようにする方法がある。亜硫酸ガスは腐食性であるので、いずれの装置においても、装置の少なくとも亜硫酸ガスと接する部分は、ガラスライニングなど耐食性材料を用いるのがよい。
【0026】
処理後の取り扱い方法は、本発明で限定するものではないが、処理槽中に残った亜硫酸ガスを含んだガスは、アルカリ性水溶液を吸収液としたスクラバーで亜硫酸ガス成分を吸収させ、さらに残留する可能性のあるダイオキシン類を活性炭層に吸着させた後に外部へ放出させる。処理後の固形物は、アルカリ性水溶液を噴霧して中和すると同時に、飛散を抑えて取出すのが好ましい。アルカリ性水溶液は、水酸化カルシウム、炭酸カルシウムなどの水溶液、あるいは分散液が使用できる。亜硫酸ガス(二酸化硫黄)や三酸化硫黄を亜硫酸カルシウム、硫酸カルシウムとして固定化されるので、これらは本発明の方法に循環使用できる。
【0027】
【実施例】
〔実施例1〕

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for treating dioxin-containing solids, which relates to a technique for purifying solids such as soil, sediment, sludge, incineration ash, fly ash, and activated carbon contaminated with dioxins.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Organic chlorine compounds such as dioxins are chemically stable and hardly decomposable substances, and are generated unintentionally in an incinerator or the like, particularly in a temperature range of 250 to 350 ° C. Dioxins, also called environmental hormones, are extrinsic endocrine disrupting chemicals that, when introduced into the body of an animal, affect the normal hormonal action that is normally performed in the body, and inhibit reproductive function. And may cause malignant tumors and are subject to strict regulations.
[0003]
It is necessary to take measures to prevent the generation of dioxins by controlling combustion in incinerators, etc., but it may be difficult to eliminate them at all.On the other hand, dioxins contained in exhaust gas, wastewater, incineration ash, etc. Classification processing is required.
[0004]
As a method for purifying solids such as soil, sediment, sludge, incineration ash, fly ash, and activated carbon contaminated with dioxins, dioxin-contaminated solids have been deficient in oxygen using metal oxides and carbonates as catalysts. A method of heating in a state (see Patent Document 1), a method of mixing a dioxin-containing solid with an alkali metal compound or an alkaline earth compound and heating (see Patent Document 2), and the like have been proposed.
[0005]
Recently, many proposals have been made in response to the stricter regulations on dioxins. For example, a method of treating contaminated solids at 200 to 400 ° C. by adding a reducing agent such as sodium sulfite or hydrosulfite in alkaline water [ Patent Document 3], a method in which a contaminated solid is heated and kneaded together with asphalt, an alkali metal compound and sulfur under conditions in which air inflow is substantially blocked. [See Patent Document 4].

This is to be reused for the generation of sulfur dioxide gas.
[0018]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises contacting a solid containing dioxins (hereinafter referred to as a “solid to be treated”) with sulfur dioxide gas (sulfur dioxide).
[0019]
The solid to be treated of the present invention is specifically soil, bottom mud, incinerated ash, fly ash, activated carbon and the like. Since the treatment method of the present invention is a contact between a solid and a gas, the solid to be treated is more efficient as it is finely pulverized, and the pulverization method is not limited. It is arbitrarily selected such as mechanical pulverization. At this time, when a large amount of gravel or other foreign matter is present, it is desirable to remove it with a sieve or the like. In practice, the mesh size is 20 mesh or less, preferably 50 mesh or less.
[0020]
In carrying out the treatment of the present invention, it is preferable that the solid to be treated does not contain much water. Therefore, the solid matter to be treated is substantially placed in a dryer or brought into contact with heated air to have a water content of 20% by weight or less. It is preferable to keep it free of moisture.
[0021]
The source of the sulfur dioxide gas is not particularly limited.For example, the liquefied sulfur dioxide is vaporized and led to a sulfur dioxide gas contact tank, or an alkali metal sulfite, an ammonium sulfite, an alkali metal hydrogen sulfite, or the like. Alternatively, ammonium bisulfite may be put into a sulfurous acid gas contact tank together with the solid to be treated, and heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the decomposition temperature of sulfite to generate sulfurous acid gas in the sulfurous acid gas contact tank. Here, sodium and potassium are preferable as the alkali metal. The decomposition temperature varies depending on the salt. For ammonium sulfite, the temperature is low at 60 to 70 ° C. [Basic Chemical Handbook, p. Temperature is required. It is also possible to use the sulfur dioxide in the exhaust gas generated when incinerators and fossil fuels are incinerated.Sulfur dioxide gas in the exhaust gas can be used as it is, or the exhaust gas can be cooled or compressed and absorbed in water to absorb the sulfur dioxide gas. For example, there is a method such as concentration separation and use.
[0022]
It is needless to say that the sulfur dioxide gas is used at a high concentration of 100% or close to the treatment efficiency, but practically, the sulfur dioxide gas is mixed with air or nitrogen at an arbitrary concentration of 1% by volume or more in air or nitrogen. It is convenient to use it as a gas. Since the amount of dioxins in the solid to be treated is extremely small, a very small amount of sulfur dioxide is sufficient stoichiometrically. However, various components usually coexist in the solid to be treated, and these components may consume sulfurous acid gas. Therefore, it is desired to increase the concentration of sulfurous acid gas. Further, sulfur dioxide gas may be added during the treatment.
[0023]
In the treatment of the present invention, the solid to be treated is placed in a treatment vessel and filled with a sulfurous acid gas or a mixed gas of sulfurous acid gas and air, or a compound that generates a sulfurous acid gas when heated to a solid to be treated is mixed and treated. It is put in a container, sealed, and stirred to bring the solid to be treated into contact with sulfur dioxide. The treatment can be carried out at a temperature of 20 ° C. or higher, but practically 40 to 250 ° C., and more preferably 60 to 250 ° C. in consideration of the processing capacity, apparatus, economy and the like related to the decomposition rate of dioxins. 200 ° C. The heating method is arbitrarily determined, such as heating with an oil heater or hot air.
[0024]
The treatment time varies depending on the amount of dioxins in the solid to be treated, the concentration of sulfurous acid gas, the temperature, the form of the solid to be treated, the form of the treatment container, etc. It is better to set conditions so that The end of the treatment is determined by separately analyzing the amount of dioxins contained in the solid matter to determine whether it is below the target value.However, a small-scale preliminary test is performed in advance, and until the target dioxin content is reached. It is common practice to determine the required time, and to determine this in consideration of the safety factor.
[0025]
The treatment of the present invention is a contact between a solid and a gas, and is preferably performed by stirring the solid to be treated, flowing a gas from below so as to blow up the solid to be treated, or a combination of both. Although the form of the processing container is arbitrarily selected, in the case of the former, the solid to be processed is supplied to a cylindrical container provided with a baffle plate inside, and sealed with a sulfurous acid gas atmosphere, and this is placed sideways, or There is a method in which one side is set slightly higher and installed substantially horizontally, and the solid to be treated is brought into contact with the sulfurous acid gas by rotating the cylindrical container. In the latter case, as shown in FIG. 1, the solid to be treated is supplied to a substantially conical tank, the atmosphere is sealed with a sulfurous acid gas atmosphere, heated from the surroundings, and the gas containing sulfurous acid gas in the system is circulated. There is a method of circulating with a pump to blow up solids to be processed from below. Since sulfurous acid gas is corrosive, in any of the apparatuses, it is preferable to use a corrosion-resistant material such as a glass lining for at least a portion of the apparatus in contact with the sulfurous acid gas.
[0026]
The handling method after the treatment is not limited in the present invention, but the gas containing the sulfur dioxide gas remaining in the treatment tank absorbs the sulfur dioxide gas component with a scrubber using an alkaline aqueous solution as an absorbing solution, and further remains. Possible dioxins are released to the outside after being adsorbed on the activated carbon layer. It is preferable that the solid after the treatment is neutralized by spraying an alkaline aqueous solution and is taken out while suppressing scattering. As the alkaline aqueous solution, an aqueous solution such as calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate, or a dispersion liquid can be used. Since sulfurous acid gas (sulfur dioxide) and sulfur trioxide are immobilized as calcium sulfite and calcium sulfate, these can be circulated and used in the method of the present invention.
[0027]
【Example】
[Example 1]
10 g of soil containing 910 pg-TEQ (picogram-toxic equivalent) / g of dioxins was dried in a dryer at 105 ° C., placed in a glass bottle having a capacity of about 500 mL, and filled with air containing about 50% of sulfur dioxide gas to obtain aluminum. The foil was covered with a silicone rubber stopper. The glass bottle was kept in a laboratory dryer heated to 150 ° C. for 15 hours. At this time, the aluminum foil covered with the stopper was partially creased, and a gap was formed between the aluminum bottle and the glass bottle, the pressure inside the bottle was kept at normal pressure, and the intrusion of external air was suppressed. After the treatment, the residual amount of dioxins in the soil was measured. Further, as a comparison, the amount of residual dioxins when the same treatment was performed only with air without using sulfurous acid gas was measured. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0028]
[Table 1]

From this result, it was observed that dioxin was reduced by air alone, but was significantly reduced by the addition of sulfurous acid gas.
[0029]
[Example 2]
10 g of bottom mud containing dioxins was dried at 105 ° C. for 1 hour, pulverized, and tested in the same manner as in Example 1. The dioxin remaining amount after 5 hours and 12 hours at 150 ° C. was measured, and the results are shown in Table 2.

20 kg of soil (water content: 40%) containing 1000 pg-TEQ (picogram-toxic equivalent) of dioxins was blown at 105 ° C. with external air at 50 L / min for 2 hours to reduce the water content to 10% or less. This dried soil was brought into contact with sulfur dioxide using an apparatus having the structure shown in FIG.
In the treatment, the dried soil was transferred from the storage tank to a reaction tank heated to 150 ° C., and firstly air was removed by a vacuum pump until the pressure became 0.05 MPa. Then, sulfurous acid gas was blown into the system so that the sulfurous acid gas concentration was about 50% by volume. The air was adjusted to 0.1 MPa and maintained for 12 hours. During the treatment, air containing sulfur dioxide gas in the system was circulated by a circulation pump so as to blow up the soil to be treated from below, thereby promoting the contact between the soil and the sulfur dioxide gas. The soil after the treatment was washed with an aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide to remove the sulfite component.
