Effects of Ashing Temperature and Pyrolysis Atmosphere on Thermodynamic Properties of Sewage Sludge Ash
thermodynamic properties and potential physicochemical changes of sewage sludge ashes were analyzed in order to investigate the effects of ashing temperatures and atmospheres on the physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of sewage sludge ashes. Results showed that sewage sludge ash has the typical porous structure
which is prone to deform and melt during thermal treatment. The major chemical compositions of the ash samples include Si

and MgO. The main crystalline phases in the ash samples are quartz
anhydrite
whitlochite
calcium aluminum phosphate
calcium iron phosphate
sillimanite and anorthite. Phosphorus in ash samples has an important effect on mineral evolution. An excess of phosphate may contend for calcium ions chemically combined with sulphate in the anhydrite
forming calcium phosphate with high melting point and readily decomposable aluminium sulphate
thereby causing decomposition of anhydrite and release of sulphur in the form of SO
2
or SO
3
. The thermal behavior of ash sample A in air atmosphere includes four thermal processes: evaporation of external moisture; dehydroxylation of muscovite and crystal water loss; decomposition of dolomite
calcite and muscovite; and mineral melting and decomposition of anhydrite. While ash sample B illustrates three thermal processes: evaporation of external moisture; crystal transformation or amorphous substance formation; and decomposition of anhydrite and gaseous product release. The thermal behaviors of the ash samples in N
2
atmosphere are similar with those in air atmosphere
while the weight loss in air atmosphere is more significant than in N
2
atmosphere.
