Experimental study on the influencing factors of using sewage sludge as a denitration agent for cement industry was carried out on a self-made laboratory-scale fluid-bed reactor. Results indicate that sludge combustion at 900 °C shows an ideal NOX (the sum of NO and NO₂) removal activity under simulated working conditions of cement precalciner. The optimal removal efficiency of NOX can reach 70.36 ± 3.59% in the presence of cement raw meal (CRM) at a sludge particle size range of 0.18–0.25 mm and the sludge dosage of 0.75 g/min. Besides, the NOX removal efficiency increases to 76.94 ± 5.02% in the absence of CRM, indicating that cement raw meal inhibits the NOX removal. This phenomenon may be attributed to the fact that CRM has promotion effect on NH₃ produced and obvious inhibitory effect on CO produced; while NH₃ and CO play a leading role in NOX reduction, the combined effect leads to the decrease of NOX removal. Moreover, the relationship between the composition of CRM on the inhibition of NOX removal is MgO < CaCO₃ < CRM < Al₂O₃ <Fe₂O₃. Meanwhile, the effect of additive variety on the sludge denitration activity indicates that urea significantly promotes the NOX removal, which is attributed to the decomposition of urea to form NH₃. The stability experiment shows that sludge denitration efficiency remains stable above 70% in the presence of CRM and can reach over 80% when adding appropriate urea. This method can realize the removal of NOX in the cement kiln flue gas and the resource utilization of sludge. It is a promising method for sludge disposal.
