Abstract

The invention relates to a method for comprehensively recovering aluminum electrolysis waste cathode carbon blocks through ultrasonic-assisted floatation and pressure acid leaching, and belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of aluminum electrolysis solid waste resources. The method comprises the steps of carrying out ultrasonic pretreatment after crushing and grinding the aluminum electrolysis waste cathode carbon blocks, carrying out floatation on pretreated powder to obtain electrolyte residues and carbon residues, and reusing the wastewater of floatation; removing carbon impurities after the electrolyte residues are subjected to microwave heating to obtain electrolyte powder with high purity, and carrying out pressure acid leaching on the carbon residues to remove solvend so as to obtain carbon powder with high purity; and carrying out absorption treatment on the gas generated during acid leaching with alkali liquor, carrying out evaporative crystallization on filter liquor to separate out sediment of sodium salt and aluminum salt, and reusing distilled water.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for comprehensively recovering aluminum electrolysis waste cathode carbon blocks through ultrasonic-assisted flotation and pressurized acid leaching, and belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of aluminum electrolysis solid waste resources. technical background [0002] Aluminum smelter spent cathode carbon blocks are a useful resource rich in carbon and electrolyte. Stockpiling or landfilling not only cannot fundamentally eliminate the toxicity and corrosion hazards of aluminum electrolysis waste cathode materials, but also causes a waste of resources. With the continuous reduction of mineral resources and the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements, the comprehensive utilization of waste cathode carbon blocks of aluminum electrolytic cells has become an inevitable trend.
