Article: Ceramsite production from sediment in Beian River: characterization and parameter optimization

In order to realize pollution control and resource recovery, sediment from Beian River in Mudanjiang City China was used for ceramsite production. The maximum content of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and organic matter (OM) in sediments of Beian River were 2975 mg kg, 2947 mg kg and 29.6%, respectively. So, it should be treated properly for resource utilization. The orthogonal experiment of (4) was adopted to determine the best conditions for ceramsite production and the result demonstrated that the sewage sludge ratio of 15%, binder ratio of 5%, pre-heating temperature of 450°C, sintering temperature of 1150°C and firing time of 23 min were the optimum conditions. The corresponding product met with the standard of CJ/T 299-2008 and the heavy metal leaching experiment showed it was lower than the threshold of China's industrial standard. Thus, it demonstrated that ceramsite production was a feasible way for utilization of sediment.
