The modification and application of Sewage Sludge based in heterogeneous Fenton-like system

Abstract

In this study, dewatered domestic sewage sludge of moisture content of 65.6% was used as a pore-forming agent to sinter Ceramics with kaolin clay, coal ash and sodium silicate at 1050-1100 oC for 20 min. The weight percentage of sludge of total dried solids was 60% with pore rate >45% and compressive >20 MPa. The Ceramics could be used as catalysts in heterogeneous Fenton-like system to treat phenol wastewater through modification by FeSO4 solution. After reaction with ceramics catalyst for 2.5 h, phenol removal of the wastewater could reach 99.87% from 100 mg/L to 0.13 mg/L and the COD removal is 85.75%. The performance of this catalyst was stable and had no significant in 30d repeat experiments.
