Hesong Li, Cheng Liu, Yikun Tang, Shilin Zhao

TL;DR
This paper explores using industrial waste to make lightweight ceramic materials while reducing harmful chromium leaching.
Contribution
A new method for safely reusing chromium-containing waste through foamed ceramics with effective leaching inhibition is proposed.
Findings
(NH4)2HPO4 at n(P)/n(Cr) = 1 achieves 70% chromium leaching inhibition in foamed ceramics.
AlPO4 and Ca2P2O7 formations improve ceramic strength and chromium stabilization during sintering.
The produced foamed ceramics meet building material standards with a density of 205 kg/m³ and compressive strength of 0.850 MPa.
Abstract
The sustainable utilization of solid waste is crucial for environmental protection. This work investigates the fabrication of foamed ceramics from Cr slag and municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash, focusing on the effects of three inhibitors—NH2SO3H, ZnO·TiO2, and (NH4)2HPO4—on material properties and Cr leaching behavior. Experimental analysis, chemical thermodynamic calculations, and material characterization were all employed. Results show that the prepared foamed ceramics meet the JG/T 511-2017 standard for building materials, exhibiting excellent physical properties but significant Cr leaching. Among the inhibitors, (NH4)2HPO4 with a molar ratio of n(P)/n(Cr) = 1 shows the best performance, achieving a bulk density of 205 kg/m3, compressive strength of 0.850 MPa, Cr leaching concentration of 188 μg/L, and a 70.0% of Cr leaching inhibition rate. The improvement is…
