Oil-fired fly ash is collected from dust-collecter which is operated on burning heavy-oil power plant and industry boilers. The waste is constituted of unburned carbon, oxide and water soluble sulfate. In accordance with heavy-oil consumption, it was estimated that the annual production of oil-fired fly ash was about 43,000 tons in Taiwan. The object of this reserch was EP oil-fired fly ash, which was sampling from power plant. Firstly, the essential physical and chemical characters were in vestingated. Secondary, the dissolved behavior of vanadium and nickel was investigated by mean of leaching method. The leaching residue contained a large of carbon which was called "residual carbon". And the residual carbon''s properties were determined. Finally, the residual carbon was apply to treat textile wastewater, and then probing into adsorptive behavior. The results of experimental works showed that the oil-fired fly ash containing valuable materials inculding 0.61∼1.67% V, 0.48∼0.81% Ni, 40∼65% C, 5∼11% NH4- and 22∼29% So42- etc.. After grinding and leaching at room temp for 24 hr., 12.5% V and 40.2% Ni were dissloved, and the grade of residual carbon was 82.8%. However, leaching by 2N H2SO4 for 2 hr, it could be dissloved 88.5% V and 40.2% Ni, and the grade of residual carbon was 91.9%. Using residual carbon to treat dying effluent, it could obtain 99% color removal, and over 80% COD removal. After treating effluent, the residual carbon''s heat value was about 7000 kcal/kg that could be used to recover thermal energy by incineration. That is, the residual carbon not only contained color and COD removed ability but also could be used to recover thermal energy.
