Problems solved by technology

Excessive content of alkali metal compounds such as potassium and sodium in the sinter ash will cause corrosion of the furnace body of the ironmaking blast furnace on the one hand, thereby affecting the service life of the blast furnace, resulting in the shutdown of the blast furnace and the instability of ironmaking production
On the other hand, the specific resistance of these sub-micron dust particles will increase, making it difficult to be effectively captured by the electrostatic precipitator, which will significantly affect the dust removal efficiency and operational stability of the sintered electrostatic precipitator, and lead to dust emission from the electric dust collector. The concentration exceeds the standard and the energy consumption of the device operation increases

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recovering potassium elements from sintering ashes of steel and iron works and preparing potassium sulfate. The method comprises the following main steps of: A. removing potassium by adopting a circulating industry washing leaching solution mode, and carrying out solid-liquid separation on suspension liquid by adopting a centrifugal filtration or centrifugal precipitation mode; B. adding NH4HCO3 into the potassium removing solution for removing impurities, and adding active carbon or industrial coke powder for decoloration; and C. adding industrial (NH4)2SO4 for evaporation and crystallization to prepare the potassium sulfate. The invention can completely eliminate corrosion caused by circulating gathering of alkali metal of potassium, sodium and the like in the iron-making blast furnace and the adverse effects on sintering electric dedusting system efficiency and the like when the sintering ashes are reused as ingredients directly, and simultaneously realize high-efficiency recycling of the potassium resource.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention relates to a method for recovering potassium chloride and preparing potassium sulfate from sintered ashes of iron and steel plants, which belongs to the production technology of potassium salt and also belongs to the solid waste treatment technology of iron and steel metallurgical enterprises. Background technique [0002] Iron ore sintering is an important link in steel production. Sintering ash is the abbreviation and common name of the dust particles collected by the sintering head flue gas electrostatic precipitator during the iron ore sintering process of the iron and steel plant. Its production accounts for about 1% to 2% of the output of sinter ore, and the sinter ash produced in China is as high as 10 million tons every year. At present, the comprehensive utilization of sintered ash in China is mainly realized by directly remixing sintered ash for reuse. Due to the different sources of iron ore, some ore raw materials contain...
