Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fluorine-containing wastewater treatment and resource recovery, and in particular to a method for treating fluorine-containing wastewater and recycling large-particle fluorite powder. Background Art

[0002] At present, the treatment methods of fluorine-containing waste liquid mainly include chemical precipitation, adsorption, membrane separation, etc. Chemical precipitation is a more commonly used method. By adding precipitants such as calcium salts to the fluorine-containing waste liquid, fluoride ions react with calcium ions to form calcium fluoride precipitates, thereby achieving the removal and recovery of fluoride ions. However, the fluorite powder precipitate obtained by the traditional chemical precipitation method has a small particle size, usually in the micron or even nanometer range. Small-particle calcium fluoride precipitates have problems such as difficulty in filtration, slow sedimentation rate, and low separation efficiency, which increases the subsequent processing cost and operational difficulty. Using recycled fluorite powder instead of fluorite ore powder to produce hydrofluoric acid has problems such as powder leakage and production line blockage.

[0003] To address the problem of small-particle fluorite precipitation, existing technologies attempt to increase the particle size by adjusting precipitation reaction conditions, such as changing the reaction temperature, pH value, and the amount of precipitant added. However, these improvements have been less than ideal. Furthermore, these improvements often affect the purity of the calcium fluoride, resulting in unstable quality of the recovered calcium fluoride product, making it difficult to meet the quality requirements of fluorite powder for industrial production.

[0004] To address the above-mentioned issues, a Chinese invention patent with authorization publication number CN116588963B discloses a method for recovering large-particle calcium fluoride from fluoride-containing wastewater. The method comprises: removing impurities from fluoride-containing acidic wastewater to obtain pure fluoride-containing wastewater; activating calcium fluoride seed crystals to obtain activated seed crystals; adding the activated seed crystals to the pure fluoride-containing wastewater, adding a calcium-containing regulator according to a preset calcium-fluoride ratio, and then adding a crystal growth promoter at a preset mass ratio to obtain a reaction solution; adjusting the pH of the reaction solution at a preset reaction temperature, stirring, and then settling, filtering, and drying to obtain large-particle calcium fluoride. The amount of activated seed crystals added is 5 to 10 times the fluoride ion concentration in the pure fluoride-containing wastewater. The method ensures that crystals in the activated seed crystals gradually grow and precipitate sufficient calcium fluoride, forming a large-particle calcium fluoride product, thereby recovering fluoride from fluoride-containing acidic wastewater while recovering a high-quality calcium fluoride product. However, the purity and particle size of the calcium fluoride recovered by this method still need to be further improved.

[0005] It can be seen that it is necessary to seek more effective methods for treating fluorine-containing wastewater and recycling large-particle fluorite powder to recover large-particle fluorite powder with high purity and large particle size. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] (1) The method disclosed in the present invention for treating fluorine-containing wastewater and recycling large-particle fluorite powder is to construct a large number of active sites on the surface of the seed crystals by immersing the seed crystals in dilute hydrochloric acid and synergistically activating the seed crystals with a seed activator, thereby providing extremely favorable nucleation conditions for the growth of calcium fluoride crystals. The seed crystal activator solution comprises the following components in parts by weight: 0.1-0.3 parts of lanthanum nitrate, 0.3-0.6 parts of cerium nitrate, 0.2-0.5 parts of polyethylene glycol, 0.1-0.2 parts of amino acids, 0.1-0.3 parts of amphoteric organic ion salts, and 100 parts of water. Through the mutual cooperation and joint action of the components, the activity of the fluorite powder seed crystals can be effectively improved, thereby promoting the production of large-particle, high-purity fluorite powder. Rare earth metal ions promote crystal nucleation and growth, polyethylene glycol improves mass transfer and crystal morphology, and amino acids and amphoteric organic ion salts enhance the ability to complex and regulate impurity ions. The combination of multiple functions not only improves the activity of the seed crystal, but also purifies the reaction environment, reduces the impact of impurities, and achieves comprehensive optimization of crystal growth. Compared with single-function activators, it can more effectively improve the particle size and purity of fluorite powder. Traditional seed crystal activators have a single component or lack synergy, while this formula scientifically combines multiple ingredients such as lanthanum nitrate and cerium nitrate. Lanthanum nitrate and cerium nitrate provide rare earth metal ions, which can change the electronic structure and active sites on the surface of the seed crystal; polyethylene glycol adjusts the solution viscosity and surface tension, optimizing ion diffusion and the crystal growth environment; amino acids and amphoteric organic ion salts interact with the seed crystal and solution ions through special functional groups. The components synergistically form a unique activation system, promoting the improvement of seed crystal activity from multiple dimensions.

[0029] (2) The method disclosed in the present invention for treating fluorine-containing wastewater and recycling large-particle fluorite powder uses an innovative composite treatment agent to pre-deeply purify the fluorine-containing waste liquid, thereby greatly optimizing the reaction environment. The composite treatment agent is composed of a mixture of polyferric sulfate, a strong acid cation exchange resin, and polyacrylamide in a mass ratio of 3: (0.8-1.2): 1. Through such a formula design, the various components work synergistically to efficiently remove suspended particles and organic pollutants in the fluorine-containing waste liquid, and can effectively reduce the negative impact on fluorine recovery during impurity removal; significantly reduce the impact of impurities on calcium fluoride precipitation; and at the same time, add a crystal growth promoter to further regulate the crystal growth rate and direction, so that the particle size of the obtained fluorite powder is significantly increased, greatly improving the separation performance of the precipitation.

[0030] (3) The present invention discloses a method for treating fluorine-containing wastewater and recycling large-particle fluorite powder. The crystal growth promoter is a mixture of aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid and glycine in a mass ratio of 1:(0.8-1.2). Aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid has excellent complexing properties and easily forms stable complexes with impurity ions such as magnesium and iron in the solution, reducing the interference of impurity ions on the growth of calcium fluoride crystals and reducing the probability of impurities entering the crystal lattice, thereby improving the purity of fluorite powder. Glycine molecules contain active functional groups such as amino and carboxyl groups, which can improve the surface activity of the seed crystals through chemical bonding with the surface of the seed crystals, promote the nucleation and growth of calcium fluoride crystals on the seed crystal surface, and increase the crystal growth rate. The two are mixed in a mass ratio of 1:(0.8-1.2) to produce a synergistic effect, making the effect of promoting crystal growth and improving purity far better than using either substance alone, breaking through the limitations of the traditional single promoter. The promoter mixed in this ratio can accurately control the growth direction and rate of calcium fluoride crystals. The adsorption of aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid on the crystal surface has a certain selectivity and can inhibit the growth of certain crystal faces; glycine can promote the growth of specific crystal faces. The combination of the two can prompt calcium fluoride crystals to grow in a direction that is conducive to the formation of large particle size, obtaining fluorite powder particles with uniform size and large particle size.

[0031] (4) The method disclosed in the present invention for treating fluorine-containing wastewater and recycling large-particle fluorite powder adopts energy field treatment, wherein the energy field is at least one of ultrasound, microwave, and a steady magnetic field. Energy field treatment can greatly improve the efficiency of the activation process. At the same time, the action of the energy field makes the activator more uniform on the surface and inside the seed crystal, avoiding the problems of localized insufficient or excessive activation that may occur in traditional immersion methods, ensuring the consistency of the overall activity of the seed crystal, facilitating the uniform growth of subsequent calcium fluoride crystals, and thus improving the stability of the quality of the fluorite powder product.

[0032] (5) The method for treating fluorine-containing wastewater and recycling large-particle fluorite powder disclosed in the present invention has a mass percentage concentration of 15%-30% in step S1. On the one hand, if the slurry is too thin, the wastewater discharge will increase. On the other hand, if the slurry concentration is too high, the calcium hydroxide will not be dispersed well enough, and the generated fluorite powder will easily cover the calcium hydroxide, resulting in reduced purity. The mass percentage concentration of the NaOH solution used as the reaction base liquid is 0.1%-1%. If the concentration is too low, it is necessary to increase the amount of base liquid or reduce the feeding rate of fluorine-containing wastewater to ensure the generation of larger particle size CaF2. If the concentration is too high, the OH in the base liquid will - The higher the ion concentration, the lower the F - With Ca 2+The selectivity of the reaction leads to a decrease in the purity of the generated fluorite powder. The mass of the reaction bottom liquid is 15%-25% of the mass of the fluorine-containing wastewater after preliminary treatment. If the amount of bottom liquid is too small, there will be too many nucleation points of CaF2 generated by the reaction, reducing the particle size; if the amount of bottom liquid is too large, the amount of wastewater generated will increase significantly, increasing the cost of wastewater treatment. The amount of activated seed added is 3%-8% of the amount of CaF2 generated. If it is too small, there will not be enough nucleation points, making the precipitated particles finer; if it is too large, the contribution to increasing the particle size of the recovered fluorite powder is limited, and at the same time, it causes waste of fluorite powder. The dripping described in step S4 adopts a variable speed dripping method of first slow and then fast to ensure the instantaneous F in the reaction system. - and Ca 2+ In a relatively stable state. Because the amount of bottom liquid in the early reaction system is small, slowly adding fluorine-containing wastewater and calcium hydroxide slurry can make the F in the system - and Ca 2+ At a lower concentration, the nucleation point is reduced, and the speed becomes faster in the later stage because the addition of fluorine-containing wastewater and calcium hydroxide slurry significantly increases the amount of bottom liquid. Instantaneous addition of more fluorine-containing wastewater and calcium hydroxide slurry can ensure the same F as the initial - and Ca 2+ Same concentration. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
