Abstract

The co-firing of sewage sludge and sugarcane bagasse (SB) is conducive to their environmentally benign reduction, reuse, and recycling. In this study, the ash fusion behavior of SB and its modification mechanisms by the addition of different sludges (municipal sewage sludge (MSS) and chemical industry sewage sludge (CSS)) were investigated using chemical composition calculations, mineral phase analysis, and thermodynamic calculations with FactSage. The slagging tendency of SB during the combustion process was high based on its ash composition and fusion index value. The ash fusion temperatures (AFTs) of the SB mixtures increased gradually with increasing sewage sludge percentage and this increased more obviously with the addition of CSS compared to MSS. This resulted from the difference in the decreasing non-binding/binding oxygen ratio. The generation of high melting point (MP) potassium aluminosilicates (e.g., KAlSi3O8 and KAlSi2O6) with the addition of sludge resulted in an obvious increase in the deformation temperatures of the SB mixtures. The formation of a small amount of high MP phosphates (e.g., Ca2.72Mg0.28(PO4)2) resulted in a corresponding slow increase in the flow temperatures of the SB mixtures.
