Key Points

The aim is to reduce concentrations of heavy metals, particularly arsenic and cadmium, in sewage sludge ash for fertilizer use.
Conducted elemental analysis on ash samples from a domestic fluidized bed incineration facility.
Employed air classification technology utilizing the Coanda effect to segregate particles into fine, medium, and coarse groups.
Focused on achieving selective concentration of heavy metals in smaller particle fractions.
Successfully reduced heavy metal concentrations in medium and coarse particle groups to half of regulatory limits.
Demonstrated significant concentration of arsenic and cadmium in fine particle groups.
Confirmed that air classification is an effective, low-cost, and energy-efficient method for heavy metal removal.

Demonstrates effective reduction of heavy metals in sewage sludge ash, indicating a low-cost solution.
