Petroleum resin wastewater sludge is classified as hazardous waste. The method of sludge recycling was introduced through the analysis of the main components of sludge, and the adsorption conditions and effects of phosphorus were studied. The results show that the main components of petroleum resin wastewater sludge are petroleum pollutants such as benzene, naphthalene, indene, azulene, olefins, alkanes and so on . After calcined at 600 ℃, the weight reduction of sludge was 82.5%, and an adsorption material based on γ?Al2O3 was obtained. The optimal adsorption conditions of calcined sludge for phosphorus: Adsorption time is 90 min, oscillation intensity is 180 r/min, pH=4, initial phosphorus concentration is 12.5 mg/L and dosage of sludge is 2.0 g. The optimal adsorption removal rate of phosphorus is 93.8%, and the adsorption removal rate after circulation is 87.0%. Therefore, after the calcination treatment of petroleum resin wastewater sludge, the reduction and recycling of hazardous waste can be successfully achieved.
