In order to exhaustively investigate the physical and chemical mechanisms of heavy metal immobilization in sludge incineration residue (SIR)-based magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC), this work investigated the influence of Pb²⁺ and Zn²⁺ on the compressive strength and microstructure of SIR-based MKPC, and the efficiency of Pb and Zn immobilization. Taking the difference of Ksp (solubility product) of different heavy metal compounds as the entry point, the physical and chemical mechanisms of Pb and Zn immobilization, and the competitive mechanism between coexisting ions, were comprehensively analyzed. It was discovered that Pb²⁺ is in the form Pb₃(PO₄)₂, and Zn²⁺ is immobilized in the form Zn₂(OH)PO₄ [Zn₃(PO₄)₂ is preferentially formed, when the pH > 7, Zn₃(PO₄)₂ is converted to Zn₂(OH)PO₄]. The low solubility of heavy metal phosphates is the main reason that Pb²⁺ and Zn²⁺ are well immobilized. The preferential formation of Pb₃(PO₄)₂ (Kₛₚ = 8 × 10⁻⁴³) and Zn₃(PO₄)₂ (Kₛₚ = 9.0 × 10⁻³³) reduced the amount of MgKPO₄·6H₂O (Kₛₚ = 2.4 × 10⁻¹¹), resulting in a decrease in compressive strength. Besides, coexisting Pb²⁺ and Zn²⁺ has a competitive effect: Pb²⁺ will weaken the immobilization efficiency of Zn²⁺. The new exploration of these mechanisms provide a theoretical basis for rationally adjusting the Magnesia/Phosphate ratio to enhance the compressive strength and improve the efficiency of heavy metals immobilization.
