Abstract
Aimed at high content of chlorine in MSWI fly ash in China,volatilization of chlorides of zinc(Zn)was studied.Firstly volatilization of zinc chloride(ZnCl2) under air atmosphere was modeled employing Gibbs free energy criterion,then,heating rate influencing ZnCl2 volatilization was studied on the basis of experimental observations by means of a high temperature TG-DTA system. Based on thermodynamic analysis,this paper worked out kinetic models of the volatilization of ZnCl2.The results show that the volatilization process of ZnCl2 is mainly the process of phase change of ZnCl2 crystal and that of considerable creation of zinc oxide(ZnO). As heating rate increases,volatilization curves move forwards higher temperatures,and both volatilization ratio and temperature eigenvalue increase to some degree. A zero-order kinetic model can be used to describe volatilization reaction accurately.
