Thermal hydrolysis oxidation method and metal complexing agent were used to remove heavy metals in oily sludge. The best conditions of the reaction were investigated, and the upper limit of removing heavy metals amount was further discussed. The experimental results show that the best reaction conditions are as follows: the temperature 220 ℃, the time 60 min and the liquid-solid ratio 0.25. Under above conditions, Cu,Zn and Ni removal rates can reach to 55.93%,85.9% and 80.65% respectively. After adding met...
