Abstract

The invention relates to a comprehensive recovery method of waste and old cathode charcoal block of an aluminium electrolytic tank, and belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of industrial solid waste resources. The method is as below: crushing and grinding waste and old cathode charcoal block of the aluminium electrolytic tank at 200-400 DEG C, insulating, removing cyanide, conducting flotation separation on the material with cyanide removed to obtain carbon slag and electrolyte slag, heating the electrolyte slag at 550-800 DEG C to remove carbon impurities, so as to obtain an electrolyte powder, removing to soluble substances in the electrolyte slag by alkali leaching to obtain a carbon powder with high purity, and precipitating a mixture of cryolite and aluminium hydroxide form the alkali leaching liquid by CO2. The invention has the advantages of reasonable process design, simple process, high treatment efficiency, high recovery rate and recycling rate of each material and no secondary pollution, and is applicable to large-scale industrial application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a comprehensive recovery method for waste and old cathode carbon blocks of an aluminum electrolytic cell, and belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of industrial solid waste resources. technical background [0002] Aluminum is the most abundant metal element in the earth's crust, and it is also the non-ferrous metal with the largest output and application. Since 2001, China's electrolytic aluminum production capacity has ranked first in the world for many years. In 2015, the output of primary aluminum was about 31.41 million tons. Data show that for every 1t of electrolytic aluminum produced, about 10kg of waste cathode materials will be produced. Based on this calculation, my country produced more than 300,000 tons of waste cathode materials for aluminum electrolysis in 2015 alone. [0003] In aluminum electrolysis waste cathode carbon blocks, carbon accounts for 30% to 70%, and the rest is electrolyte,...
