Concentrated solution sludge (CSS) produced by the submersion combustion technology conducted on the municipal solid waste (MSW) sanitary landfill leachate has special characteristics, such as high water content, low organic matter and heavy metal content and extremely high salt content. In the present work, sulphoaluminate cement (SAC) was used as main curing agent and municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash was collaborated as auxiliary curing agent to solidify the CSS. A series of unconfined compression tests, water stability test and microscopic observation tests were conducted on the solidified CSS samples with various curing agent combinations to quantitatively investigate the influence of different curing agents on the solidification effect of the CSS, and to interpret the physical mechanism of strength improvement and deterioration of the solidified CSS in curing and soaking stage. Research results indicate that: the 7 d unconfined compression strength (UCS) of the CSS solidified with 10% SAC is 168.6 kPa, 162.8 kPa and 158.8 kPa when the water cement ratio is 0.25, 0.30 and 0.35, respectively, which are larger than 50 kPa and can satisfy the strength requirement of landfill. The UCS of the CSS solidified with 50% SAC after soaking in water for 28 days is 329.4 kPa, 276.5 kPa and 202.0 kPa when the water cement ratio is 0.25, 0.30 and 0.35, respectively, and can satisfy the strength requirement of landfill concerning water stability of the solidified CSS; the 28d UCS of the CSS solidified with 40% SAC and an addition of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% bottom ash is 1483.8 kPa, 2144.4 kPa, 2431.2 kPa and 1537.0 kPa, respectively, and decreased to 0 kPa, 52.9 kPa, 103.9 kPa and 51.0 kPa after soaking in water for 28 days; a reasonable bottom ash content is capable of improving the USC of the cement solidified CSS and there is an optimal dosage of bottom ash for enhancing the 28 d UCS of the cement solidified CSS, which is 5% for SAC content lower than 40% and 10% for SAC content higher than 40%. The improvement effect of the solidified CSS can be achieved by using 10% bottom ash as replacement for 10% SAC. The SEM and XRD test results indicate that: the formation of the spatial interlocking structure composed of the C-S-H gels and ettringite crystals generated by the interaction between SAC and bottom ash in soaking stage is the key factor for improving the water stability of the cement solidified CSS by adding a certain dosage of bottom ash. |
