Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a neutral solidification method for mud and a novel stone-cure-based solidification improving material used in the neutral solidification method.

  Currently, with the spread of sewerage and advanced treatment, a large amount of sludge is generated, for example, 1 million tons of sludge (dehydrated sludge) is produced annually in Tokyo alone (the sludge is incinerated in its entirety, 45,000 tons of incineration ash is generated.)

  Since these incineration ash is in an agglomerated state, it is classified, pulverized and dispersed as fine particles, and the particle size adjusted (hereinafter referred to as “particle size adjusted ash”) is refined. Since physical properties such as dispersibility and specific surface area have been improved, it has begun to be used as a raw material for civil engineering materials.

  However, the amount that can be used for such applications (demand) is not sufficient, and nearly 40% is still disposed of as landfill as industrial waste. As is well known, in all local governments, the existing landfills are filled with a large amount of garbage and industrial waste that is brought in every day. The limit has been reached and the person in charge is struggling to secure it.

  In addition, if the incineration ash is discarded as it is, soil pollutants (toxic substances) such as mercury, cadmium, and lead concentrated in the incineration ash may elute and diffuse into the soil at the disposal site. In view of this, incinerated soil cannot be disposed of as it is.

  Under such circumstances, it has become an urgent issue to create a new use of particle size-adjusted ash made from incinerated ash derived from sewage sludge for civil engineering materials.

  On the other hand, in various construction works such as shield work, dredging work, ground improvement work, and civil engineering work, a large amount of mud and muddy water (hereinafter simply referred to as “mud”) are generated. Since these are mud and cannot be transported by a dump truck as they are, they are treated with a solidifying material and solidified to properties suitable for transportation.

  Conventionally, cement-based solidified material and lime-based solidified material were generally used as the solidified material, but since these are strong alkaline, the obtained solidified material (improved soil) exhibits strong alkaline properties. Because it becomes a big problem in plant vegetation, it is difficult to reuse.

  For this reason, recently, a stone-solid type solidified material has attracted attention as a neutral solidified material (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 5).

According to the knowledge of the present inventors, the particle size-adjusted ash itself has little effect on solidification of mud by itself, but it is used in combination with a stone-cobalt solidifying material or one of stone-stone-based solidifying material. It was unexpectedly found that, when parts are used in substitution, they can be replaced without promoting the solidification action of the stone-cured solidification material or reducing its effect.

(Grain size adjusted ash)
FIG. 7 is a model diagram showing the construction method of the present invention. The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  In the figure, the method for producing the particle size-adjusted ash itself 10 is well known, and surplus sludge and the like of a sewage treatment plant with activated sludge is concentrated in a concentration tank, dehydrated by a sludge dehydrator, and then incinerated in an incinerator. The sludge incineration ash is easily manufactured by classifying the coarse powder into coarse powder (aggregate) and fine powder with a cyclone, and then further pulverizing the coarse powder with a pulverizer (see Non-Patent Document 1). The particle size-adjusted ash is available, for example, as a so-called “super ash” (seller, Tokyo Sewerage Service Company).

The physical properties of the particle size-adjusted ash can vary depending on the type of raw material sludge and the like, but usually have a center diameter of 1 to 15 μm, a volume average system of 5 to 20 μm, and a specific surface area of about 6000 to 15000 cm ² / g.

  In addition, it has been confirmed by electron microscope observation that the aggregates (aggregates) of the raw ash are almost crushed and consist of rounded fine particles.

(Stone-Koh solidified material)
The stone-coal-based solidifying material 20 is mainly composed of hemihydrate stone (CaSO ₄ · (1/2) H ₂ O) and / or anhydrous stone (CaSO ₄ ) (hereinafter, simply referred to as “hemihydrate stone, etc.”). , Al ₂ O ₃ , MgO, Fe ₂ O ₃ , SiO ₂ , and other components that promote strength and solidification (hereinafter referred to as “solidification promoting component”), and the proportion of CaSO ₄ is 20 -80 mass%, preferably 30-70 mass%. The hemihydrate koji may be produced naturally or by-product koji produced as a by-product in the phosphoric acid production process by sulfuric acid decomposition of phosphate rock, and is not particularly limited. Those which are commercially available can be suitably used.

  The hemihydrate stone may be either α-type or β-type, and has a particle size of 1 to 100 μm, preferably 10 to 60 μm.

  More specifically, as solidification promoting components, aluminum oxide, aluminum hydroxide, slag (blast furnace slag, converter slag, electric furnace slag), aluminum, silica sand, iron oxide, iron hydroxide, magnesium oxide, silica gel, and aluminum Acid calcium or the like is used.

Hemihydrate stones, etc. play the basic role of fixing the mud's moisture in the process of crystallization to dihydrate (CaSO ₄ · 2H ₂ O) in the presence of water, and coagulating and solidifying this. .

  In the present invention, the solidification effect of the stone-kou-based solidified material is obtained by using the particle size-adjusted ash in combination with the stone-kou-based solidified material or by replacing a part (specific amount) of the stone-kou-based solidified material. Does not promote or reduce its effectiveness. That is, in the present invention, the particle size-adjusted ash is 5 to 50% by mass, preferably 10 to 40% by mass, more preferably 15 to 25% by mass, and most preferably about 20% by mass with respect to the stone-solidified solidified material. use. The mass% (X) mentioned here is calculated as X = (S / (A + S)) × 100, where A is the mass part of the stone-cured solidified material and S is the mass part of the particle size-adjusted ash. Is.

(Flocculant)
In the present invention, in order to promote agglomeration of mud, it is also preferable to add a flocculant 30 as described later.

  As the flocculant, a water-soluble polymer compound having absorbency and / or water retention is preferable. For example, polyvinyl alcohol polymers, polyacrylic acid polymers and their sodium and potassium salts, polyacrylamide polymers and their sodium and potassium salts, polyoxyethylene polymers, poly N-vinylcarboxylic acid amides, starch-based graft polymers Preferred examples include alkaline hydrolysates (eg, alkaline hydrolysates of starch / acrylonitrile graft polymer), sodium alginate, potassium alginate, chondroitin sulfate, agarose and the like. These can be blended alone or in combination of two or more.

  In addition, as a flocculant, you may further mix | blend polyaluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, a sulfuric acid band, etc. further according to the moisture content etc. of a mud.

The flocculant may vary depending on the water content, sand content, solidification state, etc. of the target mud, but is usually 0.1 to 10 kg, preferably 0.5 to 5 kg, more preferably 1 to ³ kg per 1 m ^{3 of} the target mud. To do. When these flocculants are used, they may be added to the mud simultaneously with the stone-kou solidified material system, but preferably the flocculant is first added to the mud to make the mud agglomerated. It is.

(Target mud)
The mud 40 targeted by the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, construction mud generated at a construction site such as tunnel construction (shield construction), excavation construction (boring, pile burying), construction work, etc .; Although it is mainly composed of dredged mud generated in rivers, harbors, etc., it can also be suitably applied to sewage treatment mud and water purification plant mud.

(Neutral solidification process)
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, when the above-described target mud 40 is subjected to the neutral solidification treatment 50 with the stone-coal solidification material 20, the sludge incineration ash 10 subjected to the particle size adjustment treatment is blended and used together. Although it is a characteristic neutralization method of mud soil, a mixer (mixer) or a kneader is preferable as an apparatus for performing the neutralization treatment.

  As a mixer, etc. to be used, at least a stirrer or a stirring means is provided, mud is contained, and a stone-kow-based solidifying material system, a particle size adjustment ash, and further a flocculant are added to efficiently make them in a slurry form. There is no particular limitation as long as it can be mixed to cause agglomeration and solidification reaction and discharge the improved soil.

  For example, either a rotary mixer or a fixed mixer may be used. In the former, a cylindrical mixer, a double cone mixer, a V mixer, or the like can be used, and as the latter, a screw mixer. A mixer such as a ribbon mixer, a rotating disk mixer, or a fluidized mixer can be used. These can be carried out either batchwise or continuously.

(Stone Kou solidification improver)
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the particle size-adjusted ash 10 and the stone-cure-based solidified material 20 are sufficiently subjected to the mixing step 22 in advance to obtain a novel stone-cured-based solidification improving material 25. It is preferable for the sake of convenience for handling or to make the effect more stable with good reproducibility.

  The mixing apparatus is not particularly limited, and a normally used V-type mixer, ribbon-type mixer, double-cone mixer, Mueller-type mixer, single-shaft or double-shaft mixer, etc. are suitable. used. Moreover, it is also possible to use the solid mixer used for the said neutral solidification process process for preparation of this solidification improving material.

  The neutral treatment solidification step 50 itself may vary depending on the type of mud (water content, sand content, etc.), the amount treated, the type of mixer used, etc., but is generally performed as follows.

First, the slurry-like mud 40 is supplied to the mixer to be used and charged. Usually, the flocculant 30 is first added, and by a conventional method, 30 seconds to 5 minutes, preferably 40 seconds to 3 minutes, more preferably 50 seconds to Stir for about 2 minutes to fix the water in the mud together with the mud particles to form mud particle aggregates. As described above, the amount of the flocculant is usually 0.1 to 10 kg, preferably 0.5 to 5 kg, more preferably 1 to ³ kg with respect to 1 m ³ of the target mud.

  Subsequently, while stirring, the stone-carp solidified material 20 and the particle size-adjusted ash 10 are preferably added in advance, as shown in FIG. 10 minutes, preferably 80 seconds to 6 minutes, and more preferably 100 seconds to 4 minutes. By continuing the agglomeration and solidification of the mud particle aggregates as they are, a strong aggregate is obtained. An improved soil (modified soil) is formed. In other words, when the semi-hydrated stone in the stone-solidified solidified material reacts with moisture to crystallize and solidify (harden), the soil particle aggregate is cured and integrated as a whole. .

The amount of use of the stone-solidified solidifying material 20 is basically 1 to 300 Kg, preferably 10 to 100 Kg, more preferably about ³⁰ to 80 Kg, with respect to 1 m ^{3 of} mud. The above-mentioned particle size-adjusted ash can be blended and used together with the stone kou-based solidified material. In this case, even if at least a part of the stone koji-based solidified material is replaced with the same amount of the particle size-adjusted ash, Since it has a higher solidification effect than at the time of using a single material, or at least the same level of effect, the sum of the stone-kou solidified material and the particle size-adjusted ash (that is, the stone-kou solidification improving material) , 1 to 300 kg, preferably 1 to 150 kg, more preferably 10 to 100 kg, and most preferably about ³⁰ to 80 kg per 1 m ^{3 of} mud.

  In addition, as already stated, the blending amount of the particle size-adjusted ash with respect to the stone-kou-based solidified material is 5-50 mass%, preferably 10-40 mass%, more preferably 15-25 with respect to the stone-kou-based solidified material. % By mass, most preferably about 20% by mass.

As will be described in detail below, according to the solidification method using the stone-kow type solidification material of the present invention and the new stone-kow type solidification improver, when solidifying mud with a stone-kow type solidification material, particle size adjustment ash is used in combination. In this construction method, at least the fourth kind of improved soil (200 kN / m ² or more), preferably the third kind of improved soil (400 kN / m ² or more), and a neutral pH improved soil can be obtained. Furthermore, depending on the type of mud, etc., improved soil corresponding to the second type of improved soil (800 kN / m ² or more) can be obtained.

  As described above, preferably, the mud is agglomerated by adding a flocculant, and further, agglomeration of the agglomerate is performed by adding a stone koji-based solidifying material and a particle size-adjusted ash. Solidified in a neutral state to produce neutral improved soil (modified soil). Since the improved soil has a neutral pH and is a planting soil that does not cause any harmful effects on plant vegetation, the mud can be effectively recycled.

  Depending on the type of target mud (for example, sand having a high content), sludge incineration ash having a relatively small aggregate content can be used as it is without adjusting the particle size.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Unless otherwise specified, “%” means “% by mass”.

(1) As the mud to be tested, cutting mud of a mud pressure shield was used, and the sand content% was adjusted to obtain three types of sample mud (α, β, γ). That is, the mud α has a sand content δ of 30% and a moisture content of 62.7%, the mud β has a sand content of δ 50% and a moisture content of 47.7%, and the mud γ has a sand content δ of 70% and a moisture content. The ratio is 28.0%. (Note: Here, the sand content is based on the mass of the solid after drying the mud. Also, the mud was in a sludge state.)

(2) As the particle size adjustment ash, sewage sludge incineration ash was classified and pulverized to adjust the particle size (Tokyo Sewer Service Company sales, super ash, center diameter 5.6 to 10.3 μm, volume average diameter 8 0.3-14.0 μm, specific surface area 8360-12700 cm ² / g, true specific gravity 2.5-2.6). In addition, the chemical composition of the said particle size adjustment ash was the same as the normal incineration ash before the said particle size adjustment.

(3) As the stone-solid-based solidification material, mainly composed of hemihydrate stone, which is blended with alumina, silica, iron oxide and magnesium oxide, the main components are CaSO ₄ , 65%, SiO ₂ , 7%, Al ₂ O ₃ , 3%, MgO, 1%, Fe ₂ O ₃ , 0.05%.
As the flocculant, 2 kg of a powdery acrylamide / sodium acrylate copolymer was used.

(4) Particle size-adjusted ash blended stone Kou solidification improver with a blended ash (S) content of (S / (A + S)) = 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% Was prepared in advance, and this was blended in the sample mud and subjected to a solidification treatment test.

(5) As a test apparatus, a forced biaxial test kneading mixer (manufactured by Fuji Machine Co., Ltd., paddle stirring method, capacity 5 liters) was used. A predetermined amount of the adjusted mud was charged into a mixer, and 2 kg of a flocculant was added and mixed for 1 minute. Subsequently, 30 kg or 50 kg per 1 m ^{3 of} mud is added to the above-mentioned stone koji-based solidification material (stone-kow-based solidification improving material) with a changed particle size-adjusted ash blending amount as stone-kow mass (A), and further 2 minutes. Mixed to obtain improved soil.

The obtained improved soil was discharged from the mixer for natural curing, and the physical properties (corn index C, pH, elution component concentration) of the improved soil after curing time θ = 3 hours and 12 hours were measured.
(A) The cone index C was measured according to the Geotechnical Society (consolidated soil cone index test method (JGST716)).
(B) Further, the pH of the improved soil and the like was measured in accordance with the Geotechnical Society standard “Method for testing pH of soil suspension” (JGS0211-2000).

(6) Discussion of results The results are shown in Tables 1 to 6 and FIGS. Of these, Tables 1 to 3 and FIGS. 1 to 3 show cases where the curing time θ is 3 hours, and Tables 4 to 6 and FIGS. 4 to 6 show cases where the curing time θ is 12 hours.

  For example, Table 1 (FIG. 1) shows the result of mud (sand content 30%) curing time θ = 3 hours, but the incineration ash addition rate X (= S / (A + S)) is about 20%, It is noted that the corn index C is substantially the same as or slightly higher than the case where the masonry solidified material itself is blended (X = 0%).

  Actually, even if a stone-kow type solidification improving material with a grain soil adjustment ash content X = 40%, depending on the type of mud (for example, when the sand content δ = 50%, δ = 70%, etc.) is sufficient It may be usable.

Tables 4 to 6 and FIGS. 4 to 6 show the case where the curing time θ is 12 hours, but it has been found that the results are almost the same as when θ is 3 hours.
(Naturally, the pH of the improved soil was in the range of pH 7.35 to 7.45 of the stone-carp solidified material and pH 7.36 to 7.41 of the particle size adjusted ash.)

また、以上実施例の結果得られた改良土については、泥土α、β、γともアルキル水銀化合物、総水銀、カドミウム、鉛、六価クロム、セレン、シアンは、不検出であった。

In addition, in the improved soil obtained as a result of the above examples, no alkylmercury compound, total mercury, cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium, selenium and cyanide were detected in the mud α, β and γ.

  As described above, when the mud is neutrally treated with the stone-coal solidifying material, a considerable part (for example, 10 to 40%, preferably around 20%) is replaced by blending the particle size-adjusted ash to obtain a new stone. It can be used as a Kou solidification improver. By using such a particle size-adjusted ash-blended stone kou solidification improver, it is possible to perform a solidification treatment substantially equivalent to that of a stone kou solidification material.

  This also has two advantages. That is, the stone-carp solidified material is neutral in pH and has a great advantage on the vegetation of the improved soil, but it is more expensive than the cement-based solidified material. Replacing some or a significant portion of it can greatly reduce costs.

  In addition, the particle size-adjusted ash that had to be disposed of as industrial waste can be used and consumed as a new application to be blended with mud-treated stone-kow solidified material, so it has the effect of two birds with one stone. It must be said that the industrial applicability and its significance are extremely large.

According to the solidification method using the stone-kow type solidification material and the new stone-kow type solidification material of the present invention, when solidifying mud with the stone-kow type solidification material, at least the fourth type Improved soil (200 kN / m ² or more), preferably a third type improved soil (400 kN / m ² or more), and a neutral pH improved soil. Depending on the type of mud, etc., improved soil corresponding to the second type of improved soil (800 kN / m ² or more) can be obtained.

  Further, according to the present invention, by using the particle size-adjusted ash together with the stone-kow type solidified material, the amount of stone-kow type solidified material can be reduced, and the particle size-adjusted ash that has been conventionally discarded can be effectively utilized and consumed. Therefore, its industrial applicability is extremely large.
