The invention relates to a method which is used for directly applying the settled
sludge of a
wastewater treatment
plant to the
cement production after treatments of iron removing, sterilization and deodorization,
dehydration and
drying. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, the iron of the
sludge is removed; secondly, the
sludge is sterilized and deodorized; thirdly, the sludge is dehydrated and dried; fourthly, the mixture amount of the sludge is determined; fifthly, the sludge enters a
kiln system for calcining; and sixthly, the clinker obtained by the
incineration and
gypsum are mixed and made into
cement by a
cement grinding mill. The method adopting the invention has the following advantages: firstly, the
resource utilization of the sludge is realized, a large amount of clay mineral is economized, and the precious land resource is saved; secondly, the abundant heat value of the sludge can be effectively utilized, and the
coal resource can be economized; thirdly, the harmless treatment is carried out to the sludge at the temperature higher than 1450 DEG C, both the organic matters and the inorganic matters in the municipal sludge can be cracked and calcined into harmless matters, and the possibilities of producing poisonous gases and waste residues are avoided during the low temperature treating process; fourthly, the
heavy metals in the municipal sludge are dissolved in the
portland cement clinker minerals in a
solid way, and are tightly combined with the cement ingredients by chemical bonds, and the heavy
metal pollution phenomenon cannot happen under the usual conditions; and fifthly, the mixed and burnt sludge does not increase the clinker
calcination difficulty and does not reduce the cement strength, but also has a certain mineralization promoting effect on the cement clinker
calcination to a certain extent.
