In recent years, slagging-gasification technology has received increasing attention in treating municipal solid waste (MSW). Compared with conventional incineration, the higher temperature in the slagging-gasification process optimizes its residue composition, and gasification fly ash (GFA) is the only unreused solid residue. Although GFA is a potential civil engineering material, its high content of heavy metals, chlorides, and sulfates hinders its practical use. Moreover, although carbonation has proven to immobilize heavy metals in incineration fly ash, the conventional gas carbonation method cannot remove chlorides and sulfates. In this study, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) treatment was studied to treat GFA for the first time, and sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) was used for comparison. Different concentrations of NaHCO₃ and Na₂CO₃ solutions were used to treat the GFA, and comprehensive tests were conducted on the treated samples. The results indicated that NaHCO₃ treatment was effective in immobilizing Pb, Zn, Cu, and Ni in GFA, while Na₂CO₃ treatment could not effectively immobilize Pb and Zn. Both NaHCO₃ and Na₂CO₃ promoted the removal of chlorides and sulfates in GFA. The wastewater from the NaHCO₃ treatment contained fewer heavy metals compared with those from water washing or Na₂CO₃ treatment, benefitting its treatment or reuse.
