Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of resource utilization of industrial solid waste, and particularly relates to a method for efficiently catalytically oxidizing calcium sulfite in desulfurization ash by a hydrothermal method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The semi-dry desulfurization ash is a byproduct of the semi-dry sintering flue gas desulfurization process, and its composition is very complex, especially containing unstable calcium sulfite (CaSO3) which will gradually oxidize into calcium sulfate in the natural environment, causing volume expansion. If the semi-dry desulfurization ash is directly used to produce building materials, the quality of the products will be affected. Therefore, the semi-dry desulfurization ash is a difficult-to-treat industrial solid waste, and is mainly disposed by piling up and discarding, causing waste of resources and space.

[0003] In order to solve the instability problem of the semi-dry desulfurization ash, it is necessary to convert the unstable CaSO3 into stable CaSO4. A large number of studies have found that in order to obtain a high conversion efficiency, a catalytic oxidation reaction needs to be carried out under the conditions of high temperature, water and catalyst. However, on the one hand, CaSO3 will decompose SO2 at high temperature, thereby polluting the environment; on the other hand, a large amount of catalyst needs to be used in the catalytic oxidation reaction, which greatly increases the cost of desulfurization ash treatment, and brings great limitation to the resource utilization of the desulfurization ash. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for low-cost and efficient conversion of CaSO3 in desulfurization ash at a lower temperature. SUMMARY

[0004] Based on the technical problems existing in the background art, the present application provides a method for efficiently catalytically oxidizing calcium sulfite in desulfurization ash by a hydrothermal method.

[0005] The method for efficiently catalytically oxidizing calcium sulfite in desulfurization ash by a hydrothermal method provided by the present application can be carried out by mixing the semi-dry desulfurization ash with steel slag powder and copper sulfate and then carrying out a hydrothermal reaction.

[0006] Preferably, the content of CaSO3 in the semi-dry desulfurization ash is 10-15wt%.

[0007] Preferably, the content of Fe2O3 in the steel slag powder is 20-30wt%.

[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of the steel slag powder to the semi-dry desulfurization ash is (1-1.5):1.

[0009] Preferably, the mass of the copper sulfate is 0.3-0.6% of the mass of the semi-dry desulfurization ash.

[0010] Preferably, the temperature of the hydrothermal reaction is 100-150℃.

[0011] Preferably, the time of the hydrothermal reaction is ≥24h.

[0012] The application further discloses a building cementing material, which is obtained by drying the solid substance after the product obtained by the method is subjected to solid-liquid separation.

[0013] The application has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Steel slag is a by-product of the steelmaking process and also belongs to difficult-to-treat industrial solid waste. The fundamental reason restricting the large-scale resource utilization of steel slag is its poor stability, and the unstable component thereof is free calcium oxide (f-CaO), which will cause volume expansion after hydration. Steel slag has a certain oxidizing property, and the content of iron oxide is usually used to represent the oxidizing capacity thereof. Unstable sulfite SO3 2- in semi-dry desulfurization ash is easily oxidized by iron ions with oxidizing property in steel slag under hydrothermal conditions at high temperature and high pressure, and is thus converted into stable sulfate SO4 2- On this basis, the application can catalyze and promote the oxidation reaction by adding an appropriate amount of specific catalyst copper sulfate, which can have a synergistic effect with the effective catalytic and oxidizing components in steel slag powder, greatly improve the conversion rate of CaSO3 in semi-dry desulfurization ash, and even achieve the effect of complete conversion of CaSO3. Meanwhile, the unstable f-CaO in steel slag can be fully hydrated under hydrothermal conditions at high temperature and high pressure, and thus be eliminated.

[0015] In summary, the application catalyzes and oxidizes the unstable sulfite SO3 2- in semi-dry desulfurization ash under hydrothermal conditions at a lower temperature by using steel slag powder and copper sulfate catalyst, obtains semi-dry desulfurization ash without CaSO3, and makes the semi-dry desulfurization ash have higher long-term stability and be better applicable to the field of building materials. Meanwhile, since steel slag powder belongs to solid waste and has low cost, the amount of catalyst can be reduced, and the application is a waste-to-waste treatment method for efficiently converting CaSO3 in desulfurization ash at a lower cost under a lower temperature, which is conducive to the resource utilization of desulfurization ash and steel slag, and has important significance for the environment and sustainable development.
