Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, with the further implementation of the national environmental protection law, the main treatment method for aluminum dross in the industry is stockpiling, but this method causes serious environmental pollution and high stockpiling costs
In view of this, some research institutions and enterprises are also conducting research and experiments on the harmless treatment of aluminum dross, but a process suitable for the harmless treatment of electrolytic aluminum dross has not yet been developed.

Abstract

The invention discloses a harmless treatment process of electrolytic aluminium scum and belongs to the technical field of solid waste cyclic utilization in the aluminium electrolysis industry. The harmless treatment process comprises the following steps: aluminium scum after crushing and impurity removal, a catalyst (mixture of nitrate of potash and sodium chloride) and a reactant (mixture of positive cryolite and metallurgical-grade aluminium oxide) are uniformly mixed, and in a combustion furnace, nitrate of potash generates decomposition when burns at 600-760 DEG C to generate combustion-supporting gas namely oxygen so as to enable carbon in the aluminium scum to fully burn; sodium chloride has an accelerating and catalytic action on decomposition of ammonium nitrate category substances; and the metallurgical-grade aluminium oxide can effectively adsorb melted sub cryolite and fluoride salt. With adoption of the harmless treatment process, in burnt aluminium scum residual ash, the carbon content is 3%, and regeneration electrolyte is obtained through molecular ratio adjustment; in burnt exhaust gas, content of fluoride salt is less than 3mg / m3, content of dust particle is less than 20mg / m3, and the burnt aluminium scum residual ash can be directly discharged to the atmosphere after being connected into an aluminium electrolysis exhaust gas purifying system through purification, so that the harmless treatment purpose of electrolytic aluminium scum is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solid waste recycling in the aluminum electrolysis industry, in particular to a harmless treatment process for electrolytic aluminum dross. technical background [0002] At present, the prebaked anode carbon blocks used in aluminum electrolytic cells are all made of carbon materials kneaded and roasted. During the aluminum electrolysis reaction, due to the inhomogeneity of the carbon material in the anode carbon block, the generation of carbon slag in the liquid aluminum electrolyte is inevitable. The carbon slag floating in the aluminum electrolyte, that is, aluminum dross, will lead to the anode effect of aluminum electrolysis, and at the same time will increase the voltage of the aluminum electrolyte, reduce the current efficiency of aluminum electrolysis, and increase the power consumption per ton of aluminum. [0003] After analysis and research, the main components of aluminum dross are carbon powd...
