Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for processing incinerator bottom ash, in particular municipal incinerator bottom ash (MIBA).
  • MIBA municipal incinerator bottom ash
  • a method for processing incinerator bottom ash in particular municipal incinerator bottom ash (MIBA), in which a method for classifying the ash and a method for reclaiming phosphates from the ash are combined with one another.
  • MIBA municipal incinerator bottom ash
  • the ash is subjected to a wet classification and is in this respect mixed with a liquid.
  • the ash is treated with an acidic watery solution, with the phosphates contained in the solution subsequently being isolated. Provision is made in accordance with the invention that the liquid with which the ash is mixed within the framework of the wet classification is the acidic water solution with which the ash is treated for resolving the phosphates.
  • the method combination in accordance with the invention is particularly advantageous because the phosphate reclamation makes use of the circumstance that an interaction of the ash with a liquid anyway takes place in the wet classification.
  • the inventors have recognized that the mixing of the ash with liquid taking part in the wet classification can simultaneously form a method step in which the ash is treated with an acidic watery solution, which makes it possible to dissolve the phosphates contained in the ash. It has furthermore been recognized that the use of an acidic environment is uncritical both in a technical aspect and in an economic aspect with regard to the wet classification. An acid-resistant design of the devices used for the wet classification is, for example, possible without problem with an acceptable effort.
  • a simplified cost/benefit balance of the combined method in accordance with the invention is therefore in principle characterized in that the costs for the erection and operation of a plant suitable for the method in accordance with the invention as well as the costs for the proper treatment, in particular landfilling, of the remaining contaminated ash portion, are to be set against the proceeds from the utilization of the low-contaminant or contaminant-free ash portion and from the utilization of the acquired phosphate. It must moreover be taken into account that the operators of incinerator plants are willing to pay for the removal of the ash arising in the incinerator in order not to have to take over the complicated handling themselves. The obtaining of the ash to be processed is thus already associated with proceeds for an operator of the method in accordance with the invention.
  • a substantially closed liquid circuit from which at least a portion of the acidic watery solution is removed, in particular temporarily, for the isolation of the phosphates is preferably used for the wet classification of the ash.
  • the removal in particular takes place in an ongoing or suspended wet classification. Accordingly, either a practically permanent parallel operation or an alternating operation is therefore possible in that the wet classification is temporarily suspended and the total solution is removed for the purpose of isolating the phosphates.
  • the isolation of the phosphates is in particular started in dependence on the pH of the acidic watery solution.
  • the isolation of the phosphates preferably takes place in a device which is separate from a device for treating the ash with the solution and to which the solution can be supplied in accordance with a removal which can be controlled or regulated.
  • the removal in particular takes place in dependence on the pH of the solution.
  • water for preparing the acidic watery solution, with an acid being supplied to the water.
  • an acid being supplied to the water.
  • citric acid or sulfuric acid is used since it can be obtained comparatively inexpensively, with alternatively e.g. also sulfuric acid being able to be used.
  • the isolation of the phosphates in particular takes place by reprecipitation.
  • the methods and devices to be used for this purpose are generally known per se so that they will not be looked at in any more detail.
  • a temperature of the acidic watery solution can be selected such that the plant can be operated overall in an economic optimal range.
  • the ash is classified into at least one contaminated fine fraction and at least one low-contaminant or contaminant-free coarse fraction in the wet classification while using classification processes which are gentle on the grain. Provision is in particular made that the ash is classified only by wet classification and/or that the ash is completely classified into at least one contaminated portion and at least one low-contaminant or contaminant-free portion.
  • This embodiment is based on the recognition that on a processing of incinerator bottom ash the concentration of relevant contaminants contained in the ash in a fine fraction, that is in one or more portions having a relatively low maximum grain size, can be economically interesting if it is possible to keep the portion of this fine fraction in the starting material, that is in the ash introduced into the processing, as small as possible.
  • the inventors have recognized that this condition can be satisfied when provision is made that it is prevented as much as possible in the processing of the ash that the particles forming the ash are comminuted since a comminution of the ash produces additional surfaces to which contaminants can bond, which has the consequence that the contaminated portion increases, and indeed in a manner such that that portion of the ash which cannot be profitably recycled, but must rather be expensively landfilled, is too large.
  • this embodiment does not reach its goal in that the known dry classification is modified, but rather in that the incinerator bottom ash is subjected to a generally known wet classification.
  • the inventors have recognized that the circumstance can be utilized that particularly a wet classification allows the use of classification processes which are particularly gentle on the grain.
  • classification processes gentle on the grain as such methods in which the particles to be classified are not comminuted or destroyed and in which in particular also no dust arises so that the grain size distribution of the incoming material is practically unchanged with respect to that of the outgoing material overall, that is of all fractions together arising in the classification.
  • This idea of subjecting incinerator bottom ash to a wet classification since particularly a wet classification allows a treatment of the ash which is particularly gentle on the grain, and furthermore of configuring this wet classification such that an ash portion comprising one or more fine fractions has a grain size distribution having an upper limit such that this ash portion, on the one hand, contains all relevant contaminants, where possible, and, on the other hand, is as small as possible and makes it possible that only a relatively small portion of the ash cannot easily be recycled due to its contaminant charge, whereas a comparatively large low-contaminant or contaminant-free ash portion can be supplied to recycling.
  • the wet classification is preferably carried out such that the lower limit of the grain size in the fine fraction is 0 ⁇ m and the upper limit of the grain size approximately lies in the range from 50 to 500 ⁇ m, in particular approximately lies in the range from 200 to 300 ⁇ m, and is preferably approximately 250 ⁇ m.
  • the ash is preferably subjected to a mechanical pretreatment, in particular a thy pretreatment, in which metals parts and non-incinerated impurities are removed from the ash prior to the wet classification, in particular prior to the introduction into a processing plant.
  • the ash can be moist in this respect.
  • Such a pretreatment is, however, not compulsory for the method in accordance with the invention. It has nevertheless been found that the method in accordance with the invention can be carried out particularly advantageously when the ash introduced into the processing plan has a specific grain size distribution.
  • the ash coming from the incinerator plant is pretreated such that the ash is introduced into the wet classification, in particular into the processing plant with a grain size distribution whose upper limit does not amount to more than 100 mm, with in particular the upper limit lying in the range from 40 to 50 mm, and preferably amounting to approximately 45 mm.
  • a grain size distribution whose upper limit does not amount to more than 100 mm, with in particular the upper limit lying in the range from 40 to 50 mm, and preferably amounting to approximately 45 mm.
  • the ash is first mixed with the acidic watery solution.
  • at least one coarse fraction is separated from the product produced in this process.
  • a sieve device is in particular used in this respect.
  • At least one second coarse fraction is then separated from the product liberated from the first coarse fraction, in particular using an upflow technique.
  • the fine fraction arising in this process subsequently has liquid removed from it.
  • a chamber filter press is used in this respect.
  • liquid is in particular expelled out of a liquid circuit as soon as the limit value is reached, in particular exceeded or fallen below.
  • This embodiment can in particular be of practical significance when, on the one hand, costs are to be saved and, on the other hand, it should be prevented that specific components are “dragged” onto the ash.
  • Such components can in particular be salts, for example predominantly chlorides and sulfates.
  • the concentration of these components can be determined, for example, by a conductivity measurement in the liquid, i.e. the monitored parameter in the liquid circuit can in particular be the electrical conductivity. Accordingly, liquid is only expelled out of the circuit when the conductivity has reached the predefined limit value. The consumption of fresh liquid, in particular water, is hereby minimized, on the one hand, whereby costs are saved.
  • the or each low-contaminant or contaminant-free coarse fraction contains too high a portion of the respective components, in particular of salts.
  • the limit value can in particular be made dependent on the wishes of the respective plant operator or on the local wastewater treatment plant.
  • An advantage of the method in accordance with the invention comprises it being able, but not having to be, carried out independently of the incinerator plant delivering the ash in a technical method and plant respect.
  • provision is therefore made that the method in accordance with the invention is carried out in a processing plant separate from an incinerator plant, with this, however, not being compulsory and with generally an integration into an incinerator plant also being possible.
  • the processing of the ash in accordance with the invention can include a metal processing, i.e. the separation of metals, at one or more points.
  • This preparation can include both an FE separation, that is a separation of ferrous metals, and an NF separation, that is a separation of non-ferrous metals.
  • FE separators or NF separators can consequently be used for this processing.
  • a visual screening can take place. This visual screening can take place both manually and by machine. Numerous variants are generally conceivable which each allow a single-variety metal processing.
  • the metal processing preferably takes place at one or at each contaminant-free or low-contaminant coarse fraction before its dumping.
  • the separation of the metals in particular does not take place in a dry manner before or after the wet classification of the MIBA, but rather after the passing through of at least one part of the wet classification.
  • the metals are also taken along in the wet process or washing process, i.e. the metals are washed along.
  • the yield of metals is also increased by this “ washing along”.
  • the taking along of the metals in the wet process or washing process, i.e. the “washing along” of the metals can also take place when no visual screening of any type takes place in the separation of the metals.
  • the metals which are “washed along” can also be separated in a manner conventional per se using known metal separators.
  • the object is moreover satisfied by a processing plant for incinerator bottom ash, in particular for municipal incinerator bottom ash (MIBA), which is configured for classifying the ash and for reclaiming phosphates from the ash.
  • the plant comprises a treatment device in which the ash can be treated with an acidic watery solution for resolving the phosphates and an isolating device in which the phosphates contained in the solution can be isolated, with the plant being configured for a wet classification of the ash and in this respect being configured for a mixing of the ash with a liquid, and with the liquid with which the ash can be mixed within the framework of the wet classification being the acid solution with which the ash can be treated for resolving the phosphates.
  • the plant is in particular configured for carrying out a method of the kind set forth here.
  • the isolation device is separate from the treatment device, with the solution being able to the supplied from the treatment device to the isolation device by means of a removal device.
  • the removal device can preferably be controlled or regulated, and indeed in dependence on the pH of the solution.
  • the plant preferably has at least one substantially closed liquid circuit at least for the wet classification. It can hereby be achieved that the ash interacts for a relatively long period and comparatively intensely with the liquid, that is the acidic watery solution.
  • the plant preferably comprises wet classification devices which are gentle on the grain, with the plant being configured such that the ash can be classified into at least one contaminated fine fraction and into a least one low-contaminant or contaminant-free coarse fraction. Only wet classification devices gentle on the grain are preferably provided in the plant.
  • the processing plant in accordance with the invention is configured such that the lower limit of the grain size in the fine fraction arising in the wet classification is 0 ⁇ m and the upper limit of the grain size approximately lies in the range from 50 to 500 ⁇ m, in particular approximately lies in the range from 200 to 300 ⁇ m, and is preferably approximately 250 ⁇ m.
  • the plant in accordance with the invention comprises a mixing stage in which the plant is mixed with the liquid, with in particular the mixing stage comprising or forming the treatment device, or vice versa.
  • a common device in which the ash is both mixed with a liquid within the framework of the wet classification and is treated with an acidic watery solution within the framework of the phosphate reclamation can be advantageous, but is not compulsory. It is alternatively also possible to provide a respective mixing stage and a treatment stage separately and behind one another in the process direction so that, for example, first the ash is only mixed with water and subsequently an acid is supplied to the mixture in a separate device.
  • a disadvantageous bonding or sintering of the ash cannot occur at all or the disadvantageous chemical reactions are shortened by an early processing or treatment of the MIBA in a wet process. After this processing or treatment, a disadvantageous bonding or sintering of the ash can therefore no longer occur.
  • FIGURE schematically shows an embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the invention in which a method in accordance with the invention can be carried out.
  • the apparatus in accordance with the invention comprises a processing plant 11 having various equipment which will be described in more detail in the following.
  • the processing plant 11 is independent of an incinerator plant.

  • a pretreatment of any kind or a preparatory processing of the ash A is in particular not absolutely necessary.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the incinerator bottom ash is subjected to a mechanical pretreatment, in particular a dry pretreatment, prior to the introduction into the processing plant 11 in which pretreatment metal parts and non-incinerated impurities are removed from the ash.
  • the processing method in accordance with the invention and the processing plant 11 in accordance with the invention are in particular suitable for the processing of municipal incinerator bottom ash.
  • the invention is, however, not limited to this. It is thus also generally possible to process other incineration residues in the manner in accordance with the invention, for example ash or slag, which arises on the incineration of industrial waste.
  • the ash A introduced into a mixing stage 21 of the plant 11 and previously liberated from metal parts and non-incinerated impurities is separated into three fractions I, II and III, namely into a fine fraction I and into two coarse fractions H and III.
  • the coarse fractions II and II are not contaminated and can be stored on waste dumps 29 , 31 until they are supplied to a use.

  • liquid used here will also simply be called “water” or “solution” in the following.
  • the mixing of the ash A with the water can take place in the sense of a steeping or mashing. Accordingly, the mixing stage 21 can also be called a steeper or masher.
  • the mixing of the ash A in the mixing stage 21 takes place in a manner gentle on the grain to at least largely avoid a comminution of the introduced ash particles.
  • a mechanical influence on the ash A in the mixing stage can take place by means of a vibration plate, for example.
  • a treatment of the ash A gentle on the grain does not only take place in the mixing stage 21 .
  • the total plant 11 is rather configured for ash processing gentle on the grain.
  • the person skilled in the art is familiar with the phrase “gentle on the grain”. It is in particular understood by this that such devices or method steps in which the ash particles are comminuted are neither deliberately used nor accepted.
  • a treatment gentle on the grain naturally does not preclude ash particles from being separated from one another which originally only stick to one another.
  • the water supplied to the mixing stage 21 is provided by a closed water circuit W.
  • the designation as “closed” naturally does not preclude that consumed liquid can be replaced and—provided provision is made in the embodiment described here—liquid can also be removed for an additional reclamation of phosphates P explained in the following without a return into the circuit W.
  • the mixing stage 21 moreover has an acid S supplied to it which is in particular comparatively inexpensively available citric acid or sulfuric acid.

  • An acidic environment is neither absolutely necessary nor disadvantageous for the wet clarification in accordance with the invention per se since all the relevant plant parts can be configured as acid-resistant without problem.
  • the ash is sluiced with water W coming from the mentioned circuit and is sieved at the named 4 mm.
  • the first coarse fraction III separated by means of the first classification stage 17 thus has a grain size distribution of approximately 4 to 45 mm.

It must be emphasized that the particles to be classified are treated extremely gently both in a hydrocyclone and in an upflow classifier. This means that the grain size distribution of the ash portion coming from the first classification stage 17 is also practically not changed by the second classification stage 13 , 15 .
  • the second classification stage 13 , 15 is configured or set such that a second coarse fraction II is separated from the introduced product and has a grain size distribution approximately in the range from 0.25 mm to 4 mm.

  • This upper limit is in particular selected such that it is neither too low, since otherwise the next higher coarse fraction is also contaminated to a no longer tolerable degree, nor too low, since otherwise the dry weight portion of the fine fraction I in the introduced ash A is unnecessarily large.
  • Liquid is subsequently removed from the fine fraction I coming from the second classification stage 13 , 15 in a round thickener 23 .

  • water W is used as the liquid for the wet classification which is enriched in the mixing stage 21 with acid S, in particular with citric acid or sulfuric acid.
  • the mixing or steeping or mashing of the ash A with the liquid which takes place in the wet classification thus simultaneously represents a treatment of the ash A with an acidic watery solution which has the consequence of a resolution of the phosphates P contained in the ash A.
  • this kind of reclamation of phosphates P is particularly advantageous since the mixing of the ashes A with the water or with the acidic watery solution and in particular the closed liquid circuit allows an intimate reaction of the ash A with the acidic water solution which lasts a particularly long time.
  • This combination expressed in keywords, that is the wet classification of incinerator bottom ash with an integrated reclamation of utilizable materials, in particular phosphates—generally likewise represents an independent, autonomous and separately claimable aspect of the invention.

While taking account of the energy input required for the heating of the liquid and the associated costs, the temperature is selected such that the plant can be operated in an economic optimal range overall. It has been found that this is already possible at a temperature of the acidic watery solution in the closed circuit in the range from 20 to 40° C.

  • the water expulsion E can—as shown by way of example in the FIGURE—take place after the round thickener 23 viewed in the process direction.
  • a respective metal processing 37 , 39 takes place before the dumping of the two coarse fractions II, III. This can take place in a varied manner in dependence on the circumstances and on the demands, as has already been mentioned by way of example in the introduction.
  • the metal processing preferably takes place such that the metals are taken along, i.e. “washed along” in the wet process or washing process before their separation so that a visual screening is improved or made possible at all since the metals become particularly clean by this taking along of the metals in the wet process.
