Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The patent of this invention relates to the field of separation and utilization technology, and specifically to a method for preparing oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone. Background Art
[0002] Oily sludge is mainly oily solid waste generated during the process of oil extraction, transportation, storage and refining. It has a complex composition and contains multiple oil substances, suspended solids and a large amount of toxic substances such as benzene and phenol. It can cause harm to the human body, ecology and environment, and has therefore been included in the "National List of Hazardous Wastes".
[0003] The treatment and disposal of oily sludge must not only meet the development requirements of sustainable resource utilization, but also take into account the dual goals of harmless disposal and resource utilization. In the application of oily sludge treatment technology, on the one hand, the water, oil and solid particles in the oily sludge form stable oil-in-water (W / O) emulsions, water-in-oil (O / W) emulsions or complex multiple emulsion structures, which greatly increases the difficulty of oil-water-solid three-phase separation. On the other hand, due to the high proportion of petroleum hydrocarbons in oily sludge and their significant environmental hazards, the treatment technology of oily sludge mainly focuses on the recovery of petroleum hydrocarbons in the oil phase, while the disposal of the solid phase mostly adopts landfill or biological treatment, and the technology for its resource utilization is still relatively rare.
[0004] In the prior art, Chinese invention patent CN 116924648A discloses a method for treating oily sludge, in which oily sludge, a demulsifier, and a flocculant are mixed to achieve three-phase separation to obtain water, oil, and solidified oily sludge. The solidified oily sludge is mixed with a coal-water slurry and allowed to settle, and the resulting oily sludge-water slurry and the remaining oily sludge are incinerated to convert the oily sludge into products such as gas and ash.
[0005] Chinese invention patent CN 118388179A discloses a method for preparing road base concrete based on oily sludge. The method involves drying the oily sludge, then pyrolyzing it with modified diatomaceous earth as a catalyst to produce a pyrolysis residue. The residue is then mixed with fly ash, silica fume, and cement to create the road base concrete. Testing revealed that the maximum 28-day strength of a standard concrete test block was 44 MPa.
[0006] Existing technologies for the comprehensive resource utilization of oily sludge, as shown in the aforementioned patents, primarily focus on the recovery and utilization of crude oil resources in the oily sludge. The remaining solid phase is typically incinerated or landfilled, lacking resource utilization of the solid phase in the oily sludge. Furthermore, the utilization of the remaining solid phase after oily sludge treatment requires further high-temperature pyrolysis or incineration to obtain residue or ash. However, high-temperature pyrolysis or incineration processes are complex, energy-intensive, require high-quality equipment, and pose the risk of secondary pollution. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the existing technical problems and to propose a method for preparing oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone.
[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for preparing oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone, comprising the following steps: S1: Mix the oily sludge and water and stir them evenly. After natural sedimentation, separate the oil phase from the liquid phase and the solid phase, and collect the liquid phase and solid phase oily sludge mixed slurry; S2: adding a demulsifier to the mixture of the liquid phase and the solid phase oily sludge, mixing and stirring, collecting the solid phase sludge after natural sedimentation; S3: mixing and stirring the solid phase slurry, silicate cement, curing compound and aggregate to obtain oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone raw material slurry; S4: Pressing the oil-containing sludge-based inorganic eco-stone raw material slurry into shape, and curing it to prepare the oil-containing sludge-based inorganic eco-stone.
[0009] Furthermore, in S1, the amount of water added is 1 to 3 times the mass of the oily sludge, and the natural sedimentation time is 2 to 4 hours.
[0010] Furthermore, in S2, the demulsifier is a polyether demulsifier, and the amount of the demulsifier added is 0.1 to 3% of the mass of the oily sludge.
[0011] Furthermore, in S2, the stirring speed is 60 to 200 r / min, the stirring time is 5 to 15 min, and the natural sedimentation time is 2 to 4 h.
[0012] Furthermore, in S3, the mass ratio of the solid phase slurry, silicate cement, curing compound and aggregate is 30-60:15-30:4-15:15-30.
[0013] Furthermore, in S3, the curing compound is a mixture of calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, silica fume and steel slag powder in a mass ratio of 5-10:5-10:15-25:5-10:45-60, and the aggregate is medium-coarse sand.
[0014] Furthermore, in S4, the pressing pressure is 15 to 50 MPa, and the pressing time is 70 to 150 s.
[0015] Furthermore, in S4, the curing is natural curing, and the time is 14 to 28 days.
[0016] Furthermore, in S4, the curing is standard curing, with a temperature of 18 to 22° C., a standard curing humidity of 95 to 100%, and a standard curing time of 14 to 28 days.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The present invention utilizes a demulsifier to destroy the stable emulsified system of oily sludge, thereby realizing the oil-water-solid three-phase separation of oily sludge. Not only can the oil phase component of the oily sludge be recovered, but the oil content in the collected solid phase is low, which meets the standard of SY / T 7301-2016 and can be used as a raw material for inorganic eco-stone, thereby realizing the comprehensive resource utilization of oily sludge to the greatest extent.
[0018] (2) The preparation method provided by the present invention does not require high-temperature treatment of oily sludge, does not produce dioxins and other harmful substances, reduces treatment costs and environmental risks, has a high utilization rate of oily sludge, and has low process construction investment and energy consumption.
[0019] (3) The oily sludge inorganic eco-stone prepared by the present invention has a 28-day compressive strength of 50-60 MPa, a flexural strength of 7-12 MPa, and a water absorption rate of 4-6%.

The preparation method provided by the present invention has positive guiding significance for the comprehensive resource utilization of oily sludge, is more in line with environmental protection requirements, and is in line with the concepts of sustainable development and green development.

[0043] The solid phase slurry collected according to Examples 1 to 4 of the present invention complies with the standard of SY / T 7301-2016.
[0044] The compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption and dry density of the oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stones prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1 were tested. The test results are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1

The oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone prepared using the collected solid-phase slurry of the oily sludge significantly outperformed the oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone prepared from the oily sludge in Comparative Example 1, which was not treated with a demulsifier. On the other hand, a comparison of the data from Examples 1-3 shows that the compressive and flexural strengths of the oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone prepared using oily sludge increased with decreasing the amount of oily sludge added and increasing the amount of Portland cement or aggregate added. However, both compressive and flexural strengths of the oily sludge-based inorganic eco-stone met the strength grade requirements of Cc50 in GB 28635-2012.

It has a wide range of application scenarios, and the preparation method of the patent of this invention can maximize the comprehensive resource utilization of oily sludge. The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto.
